Ok so I forced myself to go through their whole discography and just to record my impressions:

Youth & Young Manhood (2003) - 4.5/5 - Just because they put a version of California waiting I think isn't as good as the one from the Holly Roller Novocaine EP. Also, I prefer the acoustic version of Talihina sky.
Aha Shake Heartbreak (2004) - 4.5/5
Because of the Times (2007) - 4/5
Only by the Night (2008) - 4/5
Come Around Sundown (2010) - 2/5
Mechanical Bull (2013) - 2.5/5
Walls (2016) - 2/5
When You See Yourself (2021) - 3/5

Basically I think they kind of lost it after Only by the night. And not because they radically changed directions, they just didn't produce any memorable songs, mostly it's just filler. Something you can put in the background and forget about as soon as you've heard it.

Btw, Golden restless age from WYSY sounds like Future islands.
