Clarity is their weakest album. There is nothing really memorable, at least for me, on that album other than Joy.

Thanks I've got the vinyl but couldn't be bothered reaching over about 2 feet to the left.

Reinventing Axl Rose
Crime
Acoustic EP
As The Eternal Cowboy
Americans Abroad!

New Wave

TDBTB is head and tails above the rest, just like New Wave is so so sooooooo below everything else.

I have the acoustic EP as well, but I feel like it's too short to really compete with the others.  Still better than "Searching For A Former Clarity" though.

This is off topic, but did anyone hear about Against Me's private show they had not too long ago? Apparently the only way to have gotten a ticket was to test drive a Kia... "Baby I'm an anarchist and you're a spineless liberal"? Fuck, I drive a 95 Chevy Geo... I guess I'm a spineless liberal on this one.
*Note to self beware of potential Kia owners, may be crazy anarchists*..

I love Against Me! Not so much New Wave but I'll still listen occasionally, it's just a progression in their sound, you can't just keep churning out the same music album after album. I really like Tom's solo stuff too.
As for them selling out, well, it doesn't bother me as long as I can still appreciate their music. However, my bf's band used to tour with AM! and he was good buddies with Tom (when I say "good" I mean they used to email daily and talk on the phone every week or so) and he said once they signed to the new label he could never get through to Tom anymore and he wouldn't personally respond to his emails. When he contacted them on their Myspace someone from the record label responded saying Tom didn't want to do another tour with Benny's (my bf) band. So Benny gives me shit for listening to AM! now, apparently lots of the kids in Prince George (bf's hometown) burnt all their AM! stuff. Burning bridges, hmmmmm

uh. that really sucks.

That song is just awkward.  They don't offer any other solutions, so it comes across as very pessimistic.  They're hurting the movement they helped build.

Somebody should tell them that it's pretty common for young people to give up their ideals and compromise with the system when they get older.  It's not really something to brag about or be proud of.
