I only ever listen to White Music for Radios In Motion, Statue Of Liberty and Science Friction now. Haven't given the whole album an end-to-end go for an age or two lately though. Also, I reckon the alternate version of This Is Pop beats ten bells out of the version you'll find there on White Music.

...and just keep going from there. Apart from the Big Express and (at a push) Go2, I wouldn't call any of their other albums poor in the slightest myself.
