Why start at Counterparts? I thought Roll The Bones was the weakest album the band had made since the early days. At the other end, though, I thought that Snakes and Arrows was pretty good. It is widely regarded as a come-back album for the band. It has several tracks that do nothing for me, but I think the best 30 minutes are actually really good, rather than just the best of a weaker batch of songs. I don't think that the Counterparts, T4E and Vapor Trails are bad at all, just not superlative in any way.
