one of the reasons I hold lightning bolt (and backspacer) in the esteem I do. While there aren't many truly top shelf songs on either of those albums, they are also albums where for the most part there's nothing I really need to cut. Even the weaker songs (excepting supersonic) are, at worse, fine.

Mankind, Lukin and Around The Bend are better than many songs on those albums.
I even enjoy I’m Open, but All Night would have been better, with I’m Open as a second b-side on a single.

There are almost zero songs from LB or Backspacer that I like more than anything from the albums the preceded them.
likes rhythmic things that butt up against each other

What a fascinating way to think about this. This is like saying you like a baseball team because all the hitters between .215 and .235

Same. I'd maybe go 4-5 songs from both records that are in the top half of the catalogue for me.

4-5 songs each?!? Lol. I think I have one total song from the two albums combined in my top half of PJ songs. One. That’s not an exaggeration.
Breakerfall Sad Light Years Nothing as it Seems Insignificance Grievance Rival Parting Ways
Better record
If I was going to do this, I would go:
Breakerfall Sad Education In The Moonlight Light Years Nothing As It Seems Thin Air Insignificance Of The Girl Rival Sleight of Hand
That is a better record but it also feels like a different record. What I did with No Code doesn't change the album as much as our lists change Binaural.
