This is such a ridiculously hard question.
Let's face it - they've not made a bad one, but I think in last place i'll put 'Sub-Lingual' because there are a couple of ropey (in Cable terms) tracks in the middle (i.e. 'Yesterday On The Horizon', 'Land Speed Record') which I am ashamed to admit, I have been known to skip.
'Downlift...' comes in second, because it's much more raw and shouty, and spawned some cracking B-sides ('Deadwood...', 'Sports Cars...')
But overall, in terms of 'theresabsolutelynothingwrongwiththisalbum' type stuff, it has to be 'When Animals Attack' as the best album. There's simply not a bad track on there... B-Sides off of the singles are ALL brilliant, and I was having a ball back in 1997 and it reminds me of good times and better times. And it's the only one that I still play regularly now.
Rambling, but honest. That's me.
