I really like their straight forward pop stuff, the ballads and the more metal-oriented stuff like Carini and Axilla. I love the songwriting, they're virtuoso players in a wide range of styles and the live shows can be transcendent.
Their studio albums can be spotty, especially compared to the live versions of some of the songs, but favorites are Junta, A Picture of Nectar, Billy Breathes and Joy.
