I'd say that every album since Crush has had some high points, some more than others, but they have also had quite many low points (some definitely more than others). But in all I think all the albums up until WAN has been fairly ok. WAN however is such a "musical" abomination that it never ever should have seen the light of day.
There was just more quality previously in earlier releases that has withstood the test of time. It's cheap bringing up KTF and TD, but those albums still sound fu*king modern today even though the latter is fast approaching 20 years in age.

WAN in 20 years? Please, allow me to laugh. Ha. Ha. Suck it.

I like every song on Crush. I love Bounce with the exception of two songs. Love Have A Nice Day. Don't like half of the Lost Highway album. Like The Circle with the exception of two songs. Like What About Now with the exception of two songs. Like the Boxset.

So in this order from my fav to least fav:

1) Have A Nice Day 10/10
2) Crush 9.5/10
3) Bounce 8.5/10
4) What About Now 8/10
5) The Circle 7.5/10
6) Boxset 7.5/10
7) Lost Highway 6.5/10

I like them. Not as much as the old ones but you put two options as 'as much as the old ones' so it was a bit stupid.

They're good albums. What About Now is the weakest out of the lot.

Then why do you have an image of the What About Now single cover in your signature?

Crush is better than Slippery.

There, I said it.

Each album has some great moments but there is a flow problem with all of them. As someone posted by using some of the b sides you could have better albums... walk like a man, dirty little secret, nothing, these open arms, another reason to believe, standing, we can dance, postcards from the wasteland, neurotica, welcome to the good times, stay... all of these should have made their respective albums. Bad judgement possibly but there has been enough good material to release strong albums but the track selection ruins them, Bounce anyone?

Taking this further. Look at Bounce... for me if the album was this...

Undivided
Everyday
The distance
Another reason to believe
Misunderstood-single version
We can dance
Hook me up
Standing
The right side of wrong
Love me back to life
Bounce
Postcards from the wasteland

A better album imo

It also depends on the song. There's many post-2000 songs that I would rank higher than many pre-2000 songs.
This for me as well.
I love the 90's period of the band, and especially TD.
Since 00's we've had a lot of material but not everything was great. What I appreciate less is the rock sound that seems to be gone, release after release.

Love the newer stuff. Not as good as the old, but still pretty damned good. Except The Circle. I'd prefer to pretend that album never existed...

Crush and HAND I love. I thought Lost Highway was decent. The Circle is very uneven but has a few standout tracks that I adore. What About Now is the worst album they've ever put out, no doubt about it in my mind
