Two great songs in their last 6 or 7 seven years - they didn't exactly maintain their batting average tbh.

Yeah the first two albums, NLSC and The Last Waltz are all you need really.

What about Rock of Ages?
― The Great Atomic Power Ballad (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 2 September 2018 19:09 (five years ago) link
stage fright is really great
― The Desus & Mero Chain (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 2 September 2018 19:34 (five years ago) link
way better than northern lights
"Stage Fright" is pretty good - but still a step down from the first two.

What about /Rock of Ages/?

"It Makes No Difference" is one of the greatest recordings.

The last waltz is kind of lame

worst one is probably cahoots, but even that has some good stuff on it.

Great example of what happens when a band that plays and stays together almost 24/7 get their own places and lives and can never quite capture what they once had, good and great as they often still were.

Islands is probably worse than Cahoots, but then again it's an outtakes set and contractual obligation album (as pointed out by an extremely defensive Robertson in the reissue liners).

I always thought "Northern Lights/Southern Cross" was a pretty good listen for the later LPs. The keyboards on the album are so lush, it's really well recorded.

NL/SC also has Ophelia which has an awesome New Orleans groove and an A+ Helm vocal

Listening to this album for the first time in a while. I can't believe how good the drums sound. I'm on "Chest Fever" now--these drums sound so incredible.
