Absolutely. "Worms Vs. Birds" is one of my favorites, too. Personally, of the old albums, "Build Nothing" was among my favorites, as was "Moon and Antarctica". "Moon" showed Brock's nastiness, but it also exhibited some of his tender qualities, especially in "3rd Planet". There's a defeated, resentfulness that comes through in the lyrics, but it seems to come from a very personal, wounded place. I always tend to imagine that that song is about having a miscarriage. Maybe I'm wrong.
