I (probably unfairly) compare it to London Calling which is, in my eyes, a perfect album. It's certainly not the worst album in the world but it just doesn't measure up to LC. Perhaps the yack emoticon was too much. Your critique of the band making a "Clashy" album is spot-on, btw.

I'd probably say my favorite band is the Drive by Truckers, so their most black sheep album is likely A Blessing and A Curse. It's the one that's trying the hardest for crossover success which of course, would never come. Considering Isbell was getting a divorce and leaving the band at the time, and the band itself was about to fall apart, its failures as a pop record make it almost like a DBT song.

A Blessing and a Curse by Drive-By Truckers. It was a big change from the gritty southern rock of Southern Rock Opera and the previous two albums with Jason Isbell, Decoration Day and Dirty South. It was certainly a tumultuous time for the band as Isbell would be asked to leave less than a year after the release. The album was hastily recorded, with many of the songs recorded shortly after writing. The two Isbell contributions are arguably his weakest songs penned with DBT. Interestingly, the two Cooley songs have gone on to become fvorites in the DBT catalog. The most enduring part of the album is it's final line in the final verse, "It's great to be alive"
oh, BTW, go get you some tickets for Isbell in Austin in July

From what I've gathered he was asked to leave because he wasn't good to be around when he was drunk, which was, apparently, pretty often

Right on with you. Those three are by far the best on that album.

Superchunk has always been one of my favorites...
I never warmed up to 1999's Come Pick Me Up like all the others... perhaps it is due to bringing on Jim O'Rourke to produce and the introduction of horns, string sections, and keyboards..
Its still a good record and has some very good songs like... 1000 Pounds

Never really got a lot of love, but I found it to be very good.
