Let's settle this. Rate each album (comps, live, and eps don't count) on a scale of one to ten:
Murmur
Reckoning
Life's Rich Pagant
Fables of the Reconstruction
Document
Green
Out of Time
Automatic for the People
Monster
New Adventures in Hi-Fi
Up
Reveal
Around the Sun
Acclerate
Collapse into Now
What do you come up with? 150? Then they are the best band ever. 75? Then they are inconsistent. 25? Then they aren't very good.
Not that consistancy is the only issue when judging a band. Murmur is so gaddamn good, they could've released utter shit for the next twenty years and so what? They would've still justified their existence.
