Amazing band. If I was to rank their albums it would be as follows:
1. Word Gets Around (1997)
2. Performance And Cocktails (1999)
3. Language... (2005)
4. You Gotta Go There To Come Back (2003)
5. Just Enough Education To Perform (2001)
The good thing as well is you can set your watch by them, Every two years at Easter time they release an album, tour until the end of the year and then spend the next year writing, recording and taking some hard earned rest. They are due to release an album next year, two years after their last.
Seen them three times, once at Donnington in 2001 and twice at the MEN arena in 2001 and 2003. Gutted I missed the chance to see them on their last tour.
Would have loved to have been at the Elevation Tour when they supported U2.
Feel sorry for Stuart Cable as well.
