Fables is a really strong album. It took me a few listens to really sink into it. I agree that Lifes Rich Pageant is like a complete reversal. Some of the songs on the latter, while immediately catchy, didn't strike me as "great" for some reason though. Either way, both albums are brilliant.
I admit due to a lack of enthusiasm of others, some of their albums I have not gotten around to listen to. These being albums that come much later in their progression, but I always seem to find something to like about all of their albums that I have heard.
