@jalefkowit I mean, "August And Everything After" is an absolute masterpiece record, but it's not like there weren't spectacular songs on "Recovering The Satellites" and a couple of great ones on the next two.
"August..." doesn't have "A Long December", after all.
All that said, I think there's one thing I can agree with-- take everything after "August...", extract the great ones, add "Accidentally In Love", and you have one great record. That's all conveniently on "Films About Ghosts".
