That's about it. Debut single was better than debut EP; debut EP was better than debut album; debut album was better than everything later.

I'm not sure I agree with that one. I can see the logic but Vs. is more RAHHHHHHHH!!!!! which I dig.
I've seen 'em twice (once in Philly when I realized the coincidence we were both there at the same time and a few months later at Siren Festival). Both times I got consistently more pogo-y as the show went on, finally bopping like a big dork during the cover of "Youth Of America" and anything that followed. I think part of the reason is that they're way older than me and uber-exuberant, so I don't get self-conscious about hopping.

I kinda used to like the first Birdsongs of the Mesozoic EP, actually (and the cover of the Rocky and Bullwinkle theme on their subsequent album, though I hagen't heard either for years).

Paul McCreesh managed to squeeze Bach's St Matthew Passion onto two discs (80.16 and 81.16). Valery Gergiev crams the Nutcracker onto one disc at about 81 minutes. There are some other classical examples.
