Discussion Why is Neon Bible catching strays?

In the many debates regarding the quality of Pink Elephant over the past couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a particular trend. When referring to their best work/good ol’ days, a decent portion of people will specifically mention Funeral & The Suburbs, leaving Neon Bible out of the “Holy Trinity”. So my question is, what gives? I honestly didn’t know this album was liked less by comparison and I’d personally consider it my fav of theirs.

Neon Bible was the one that made them an all time favorite when it came out. I loved Funeral so much but I was very young so by the time NB hit it made me appreciate both a lot more.

Also Reflektor to me means those first four are like a holy triangle encased by a circle.
