to put it in perspective:
I heard Inspire, liked it, and bought it. Then i grabbed Curse, and enjoyed that too.
Then i worked my way forward and backward through the band's catalog. Unfortunately, the further the releases got from La Mule's magic 1998/1999 Inspire/Curse era, the worse the music got. (The later stuff was dull, the earlier stuff was grating.)
So in a "knowing what I know now" sort of way, I wish I had only bought Curse and Inspire, and then STOPPED. (Of course, this is just my opinion & tastes...)
ps - the matching VHSs for Curse & Inspire are pretty enjoyable, too, so they may be something you'd prefer to "invest" in. ^_^m
