In my personal opinion, I think that they did have a time period of unprecedented greatness. That time period, for me, is EVOL to Dirty (including Ciccone Youth). The only other time in the band's career that comes close to the this period is the O'Rourke era (NYCG&F to Sonic Nurse). All albums before, between, and after those periods I have mixed feelings about. I always take their albums for what they are not what they're not but in terms of quality, nothing can touch 1986 - 1992 and to a lesser extent, 2000 - 2004.
