"I Am Who I Am", for example is sort of astonishing, and i couldn't imagine it fitting onto one of the first two albums
yeah that one actually kinda scared me when I heard it for the first time. because usually the Books have this very calm element about them, whereas this track goes pretty insane with the preacher's voice. IMO their first is the best though, mostly because they did a lot of cool things melodically, especially on tracks like "Getting the Job Done"

i mean relistening here "The Way Out" does seem so much deeper and well thought-out than their other three releases, but its also kinda labored and low on inspiration
still I think its roughly on par w/ Thought for Food and Lemon of Pink, Lost and Safe is their only one that isn't all that good

Lost & Safe is not only their best one but top 10 of the past decade material for me.

totally agree with this but didn't see this poll so didn't vote.
