F/D is definitely the start-to-finish, most consistent album since FY, even though U23 is fantastic and very evocative and ULTC has some highlights for me (the second half, of course). Interesting comparisons to P=A since I thought the same upon first listen, certainly hitting some dark areas the church haven't mined in a while, but not overly so.

For BY and Tin Mine, these are essential church releases! Love them. Got mine after seeing the guys play in Indianapolis in '06. And I've been in the minority who have absolutely no complaints about the sound mix for FY; a little grungey guitars never hurt anyone, right?
