Well, if we're doing rankings...

1) England Keep My Bones (genuinely think this should have been a Mercury Prize nominee a la Let England Shake)
2) Love Ire & Song (not as musically rich as more recent stuff, but some of his best lyric writing)
3) Positive Songs For Negative People (lacks the thematic richness of other albums, but song-for-song it's incredibly strong)
4) Tape Deck Heart (great first half, wobbly second half)
5) Be More Kind (takes some risks, not all of them work)
6) Poetry of the Deed (some good songs, but only a few have lasted in live setlists and for good reason)
7) Sleep Is For The Week (you could whittle this down to a flawless EP - just ignore the lecherous lothario stuff)
