Is Around The Sun really as bad as they say, or does it have at least a few great songs? I've also seen some people LOVE Fables, but I've also seen many that despise it. What's up with that?
Out of those, I'd suggest picking up Reckoning first, especially if you like Murmur. As for Around the Sun, it's okay. Not bad, but not one of my favourites either. I like the song "Leaving New York" though:



Regarding Fables, I love it. They moved in a slightly different direction than with Murmur and Reckoning - there's a more Southern sound to it, I guess they were acknowledging their Georgia roots.
