Obviously you don't agree but I find songs like "One for the Cutters" "Navy Sheets" and "Both Crosses" to be almost un-listenable. If you ask me it began the down-turn for the Steady. I tried to Stay Positive (lololol) after this record...but they haven't given me a huge amount to shout about since.
I thoroughly enjoy "One for the Cutters", but I generally agree with you. I think it's actually about even with Almost Killed Me, but they haven't come close to topping the two after that.
