    3. Core
    4. No. 4
    5. Shangri-La Di Da

    I never got around to listening to their eponymous album, so I can't rank it. It'd be tough for it to crack the top four, but could easily bump Shangri-La Di Da.

    STP is bad (a couple good tracks) so last on this one.

    Shangri-la - I own it, but only listened once or twice and it wasn't interesting.

    Was there another album?

    I honestly say that they're all equally good. I'd give every single one of their albums (except for Shangri-La Dee Da) a solid 4/5.

    The self titled was just bad...Army of Anyone sounded more like Stone Temple Pilots than that album did.
