CiS and BMR are still my faves but Sister is the album where I think their main currents (punk, psych, a-g, bubblegum) fuse the best. It never sounds contrived. All their albums after Sister, it was easier to seperate into the 'Lee', 'Thurston' and 'Kim' bits but Sister has a quality where all their personalities are there but interact almost seamlessly. Except on HWMH which, I agree, sounded like a Thurston thing the others merely played along to. Overall, ironically, it might be their least schizophrenic album.
EDIT: Thinking about it, it might be my all-time fave album cover too. Definitely their best one.
