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

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.
