Burst - are their other albums as good as Lazarus Bird?

Based on recommendations in a post-metal thread, I got Lazarus Bird and really like it. Are their other albums as good? According to Wikipedia Lazarus Bird is more experimental, and it also makes it sound like their first two are a bit different in style. I don't know how much I trust that so if anyone has an opinion I'd love to hear it. Other band recommendations are welcome, too.

Edit: The other thread - I already know the recs in there.

I'm of the opinion that "Origo" is superior to "Lazarus Bird". The transitions within the songs are more cathartic, it's a more emotional experience overall.

Too bad they split up this year.

^ Crap, I didn't know that.

To answer the OP, I'd say that Lazarus Bird is their best. It just feels like a tighter, more mature and polished version of their earlier albums and the best thing about it is that it's full of breakdowns that draw from various styles of music.

Lots of bands try to do that but few make it work.

Yeah, I just saw they broke up too. Even if Lazarus Bird turns out to be my favorite, it sounds like the previous couple are worth checking out. Slightly less good than LB is better than a lot of other stuff. Thanks.
