Washing Machine came out in '95. I was referring to material from '96-2006. 1KL was ok, I thought that was a more "transition period" for SY, going into more longer format songs which I thought were ok, but not as great as the shorter, direct songs. NYG&F was IMO their worst album ever, Murray Street was just a step up from there with Sonic Nurse being the best album during the O'Rourke-era.
I'm always going to love Washing Machine more than Rather Ripped, but I think Rather Ripped has easily beat out any album during the O'Rourke era. Maybe Rather Ripped rivals 1KL right now? Just my opinion.
