Never really liked the first 2 albums much. A lot of the songs all sounded the same to me.
I quite liked Betty though, seemed to have more of a pop edge to it.

page really started to harmonize on Betty....i mean there are a couple of tracks where he experiments with harmony on Meantime.....off the top of my head is You Borrowed

which ironically is my personal favorite on that album

but he took it to new levels on Aftertaste which is a very underrated album....it just took a few listens for it to set in for me

I don't understand how you liked Betty more, I much prefer In the Meantime to Betty. The hardcore sound is completely gone with Betty, which I did not appreciate.

I considered buying Betty for a while and yesterday I saw it was $5.99 on the iTunes store so I bought it. I should have gone with one of their first two albums instead because I did NOT like Betty.

I agree with you, the variety is quite lacking on many of their albums, but at least with In the Meantime I like it so much that the variety doesn't really bother me.
