W(TA) is easily their worst. The bookends on The Whole Love are worth the try.
Best record post-YHF to me is Star Wars, and I actually enjoy Schmilco.

I am curious if the extra stuff on these re-issues have already seen the light of day on the box set, which is, for the most part, pretty great. And I happen to love Schmilco. It's like Star Wars awkward little brother.

And Bull Black Nova is the only redeeming thing about W(TA).

"Alpha Mike Foxtrot" (a code for Adios M-F) is a bounty of riches. I love the band through YHF and it's got lots of live cuts from that period as well as fun alt takes and b-sides. The stuff from their later period was eye-opening for me. There's a track that sounds like a Fall outtake! And I've often found bands detritus is fascinating where they're being experimental or the song doesn't fit the album's vibe.

I saw them twice on the current tour and they were fantastic.
