I'd actually disagree with that. "Hunting high and low" for me, really has highs and lows, but it's not until "Scoundrel days" (review coming!) that they really hit their stride: the variation on that album and the at times rock flavour that comes through was seldom if ever matched. "Stay on these roads" was I always felt a weak followup, and the only one that comes close in my estimation is the superb "Analogue". The rest of their albums have seriously bright spots certainly, but each one seems to be let down by one or two below-par tracks, particularly on "Memorial Beach".

And I love "Take on me", despite its history and what it made the band become in the eyes of so many...
