Oh that album is definitely their most diverse, The Royal Society that is. I don't know, in places it doesn't quite work for me but, like you, I don't dislike anything they have done. I think it's still a great album.
Horse of the Dog was important to me too, for similar reasons. I went to my first gig in 2001 when I was 17 and still strictly very mainstream indie. That album was 2002 and came around during the time I was starting to branch out into heavier music. I wasn't really listening to much stuff that was as aggressive as that album when it first came out.
