Wrong.
This Year's Model was his second to last great album.
Get Happy is the last (and best).
I think.
I'll get back to you tomorrow.

You're all wrong. IbMePdErRoIoAmL is the last great one. Every album after that has at least two horrible songs on it.

I'm interested. What 2 songs on "Brutal Youth" would you call horrible? I think BY is his most underrated album and find I listen to it more often than most. This may be largely due to the fact that I've listened to others a quite a bit more often.
I would also agree that IB is a great album. At one time I considered it my favorite but I don't think it has aged as well as others.

Brutal Youth bored me to tears. I will conceded that it may not contain any horrible songs at all; but it doesn't contain that many great ones, either. More importantly, it doesn't flow from one song to the next as a great album should.

songs flowing into one another is more important that having actual good songs? You should check out Bat Out of Hell - it's like opera, but rock, you'd dig it.
