I think 10 is far louder and over the top production-wise compared to In The Night. 'Grand Canyon' isn't a favourite of mine, but I don't mind the other two.
Rattus Norvegicus and No More Heroes were both written over the same period of time and were pretty much - aside from a couple of tracks on the latter - all recorded at the same recording sessions. The first two albums were the backlog of material that made up their live sets around the time they got signed - Black and White was the first time they had to write an album since being signed.

On a bit of a Hugh solo binge at the moment - 'Cadiz' surely must rank as one of the finest songs he's ever written.

Cool results. The Raven got less votes than I'd have thought it would get/hoped for/think it deserves, but it's nice to see that all 9 good albums got voted for at least once.

In hindsight, perhaps they should have split up after Dreamtime - Hugh's book (Song by Song) makes the making of 10 sound like an awful experience.
Hugh has a new album out called Monster and so far I'm not taken with it aside from a couple of songs.
