They caught me with One Chord To Another and I've been a fan ever since. It helps to see them live, which I have several times, as they sound leaner and more garage-ier (?) then they do on record. As much as I like their records, I feel they have not been fully captured on record as they should be.

Thanks for the post!  I was never a fan of the band, but this album definitely attracts me. Probably because their lyrics are now much more mature and pull me in. Plus, the great vocals are much clearer, and instrumentation is not as overwhelming. 

Here’s a proper link for the whole album, as your link just goes to one of their songs
