hopefully this gavin guy has great ideas
I agree they definitely needed to get away from Bob. I still love World Container though. Despite a couple of minor complaints regarding the production on certain tracks (In View and the title track specifically), I think it's one of the better albums they've made over the last 10 years. Some great moments on that disc: Ocean, Rink, Fly, Luv Sic, Kids, Last Night I Dreamed, Drop-off, Family Band, WC...all fantastic songs that can stand up to their best work in my opinion. We Are the Same is another story though. Aside from a handful of VERY good songs (Morning Moon, Depression Suite, Queen of the Furrows, Speed River, Country Day), there's a lot of filler on there. It's not a terrible album by any means, but it's pretty mediocre in comparison to the rest of their catalogue.
