Dork
There are no easy answers, just four friends muddling their way through life and trying to put words to what their feeling. It’s the crowning glory of their peerless five-album run

Far Out
It’s all catharsis, set to an instrumentation that simply sounds like a really good rock show as they refused to overthink or overdo craft either and more than benefit from that no-brain, all-guts approach
