I think Pig Lib is his best, especially if you count the b-sides Dynamic Calories and Old Jerry (Which should have made the album). Witch Mountain Bridge, Water and a Seat, 1% of One, Dark Wave, etc are some of his best tunes.
Second would be Face The Truth, then Real Emotional Trash. I love some stuff off of RET, but I think at times it can be a bit inconsistent. On the other hand, I haven't listened to the record in a while, so maybe I'd hear it differently now.
I think his self-titled record is a bit off the wall. You could tell he wanted to forget Pavement, but couldn't get past his tendencies to write like Pavement. Still has some good songs on it though; Pink India kicks ass!
As I said in the Mirror Traffic thread, I think his record will be his best Jicks album, or probably on the levels of Pig Lib.
