The only two post-Blue Sky Mining albums that really stand out, IMO, are the live album and Redneck Wonderland.  Blue Sky has some great songs, but I think their sound became a bit too polished.  Redneck Wonderland brings back some of the pricklier elements of Head Injuries and 10...9...8 and is pretty rocking.

> Below are 3 bands I really dug in the '80s, but for various reasons I stopped buying their albums (I've listed the last one that I purchased).  I'm curious as to whether any of their later albums are worth owning, so I'm seeking recommendations - thanks in advance!
