of the (several!) albums they've released since The Spine, my favorite is easily Join Us, and Glean is somewhere in the lower middle.

i really loved this record when it came out

Join Us and Nanobots were fantastic. The Else was great too but less so. Glean might be as weak as Mink Car.

I haven't heard the full album yet, but I've liked all the Dial-a-Song tunes so far that I've heard so far (I have the subscription but sometimes I forget to listen to them). Though "As weak as Mink Car" isn't really a bad thing to me, I think a lot of the circumstances surrounding that album caused me to dislike it without really giving it a chance, because I like it way more now than I did when it was released.
