Me too, on the working backwards part. De-loused is an amazing album (although my favourite song, Cicatriz Esp, is twelve and a half minutes long - so probably not one of your favourites!), but I also think that The Bedlam in Goliath is fantastic, which a lot of TMV fans seem to disagree with. I wasn't too keen on their last album, but really liked the song Cotopaxi. I saw them live in Amsterdam during the tour too - they were brilliant.
