Each to their own I suppose I do remain a huge fan of All This Useless Beauty, When I Was Cruel and especially the Delivery Man and the River In Reverse though, the latter two being just as good as any of his earlier work in my opinion.

As for Brutal Youth, it's definitely a very good album, but I think it gets dragged down a little by one or two weak points, like Clown Strike for example.
