First album, and pre-album stuff and off-cuts, was FIRE. Second one really captured London, perhaps a bit too smooth and polished and some of the cross-genre experiments didn't pan out but others really did. Third one - at this point definitely too polished and glossy-sounding, but still some absolute gems.

They always sounded to me like they should have been the biggest band in the world.
