I have huge difficulty ranking their albums... While I love The Bends, it doesn't compare to their edgier, more experimental stuff. So, I'd rank it behind the aforementioned three (any one of which could be my favorite album depending on the day/my mood), but above Hail to the Thief. Pablo Honey, while not a bad album, is clearly their weakest release.

My rankings do fluctuate though, and quite frequently. Their albums are just all so good.

"Somebody told me when the bomb hits, everybody in a two mile radius will be instantly sublimated, but if you lay face down on the ground for some time, avoiding the residual ripples of heat, you might survive, permanently fucked up and twisted like you're always underwater refracted. But if you do go gas, there's nothing you can do if the air that was once you is mingled and mashed with the kicked up molecules of the enemy's former body. Big-kid-tested, motherf--ker approved."
