the newer stuff is not really their best work.
get Yrself Is Steam and Boces. both of those albums are solid classics in my book.
Deserter's Song is ok as far as the new stuff goes (ie: post 1993, post David Baker). All Is Dream is ok too...but again, not as good as the first two albums and not even as good as Deserter's Songs (I'm not really a fan of of Jonathan Donahue's singing, but David Fridmann is a musical genius).
