Not surprised it was almost a three way tie...

seems about right—the first three are kinda interchangeable for "best" depending on my mood

Listening to their 90s albums for the first time ever. Sweet FA is actually pretty good. Very relaxed and self-possessed vibe that I wasn’t expecting. And a massive rebound from Hot Trip which I found pretty irredeemable.

I didn't realize those 90s albums even existed. I've listened to the first 3 so much, but kind of ignored them after.

Hot Trip to Heaven is an attempt at going electronic but Sweet FA is like a more chill Jesus and Mary Chain.

Hot Trip to Heaven is rather underrated, I think. It's not a full electronic album, just them playing with elements as they go, and why not? They'd already genre-hopped eight million times since the Bauhaus days.

Yeah I don't fault them for trying something new but it didn't really work for me. And hearing it fresh in 2019, it sounds very much of its time and def not among the best of the era.
