Starting over; people who dig them tend to think that whatever they did before "Waitress" are their main reason for existence. I just think their earlier albums are duller than gravel.

Not sure if I've heard a truly classic album by them, though they have done some good songs. Critics seemed to jump on the 'If You're Feeling Sinister' bandwagon and everyone else followed it. Apparently indie folk-pop didn't exist before that record, though frankly I can't and don't believe that. It has some good songs on it for sure but not consistent for a classic album.
