John Henry is probably at the top of my list of most solid overall TMBG albums. It's got a couple songs that have substantial claims on being in my top ten, but I don't have a lot of complaints about any of the songs on the album, and it's *really* well put-together.

(Important: it was released when cassettes were still a going concern, so sides were still important, and JH shows a very strong understanding of how to compose a side A and side B.)

Bonus: every time I hear "Spy" I think of the time I saw TMBG in concert and they played a 10-minute extended version of the song.
