For me, it's a toss-up between The End Is Beautiful and Mei . Both are fantastic, for different reasons: The End Is Beautiful is their best collection of individual songs, and Mei their best extended work. I found "The Window Album" disappointing, though - the songs on it were too similar in mood, construction, and tempo, didn't take enough chances, and it seemed as if they were trying to emulate the typical mainstream record, which makes "focus" a virtue and consists of twelve versions of the same song. I Heard You Listening was a partial return to form, though.
