Little By Little...
Third, final and undoubtedly best album by one of the best bands to be born out of late '90s mainstream alternative (despite the ubiquity and obnoxiousness of their one hit). Sharp, biting piano and guitar driven pop with a lot of gorgeous musical flourishes (see: the french horns on "Little Round Mirrors") and wry lyrics that range from good to brilliant.
If you don't know this album, I promise you it's better than you think it is.
