Trouble Will Find Me was the last album of theirs I've heard. Really not sure if I should just do a revisit of their catalog up to that point or check out the newer albums.
I realize it's not a zero sum thing, but I wanted to post that choice for discussion anyway.
well, given that those 2 albums are the ones that piqued your interest, you may want to start with their last one and work backwards.
Yup. I am Easy to Find is where it's at. When Folklore came out it felt like a sister album to it.

I don't mind the guest vocals on IAETF as much as I used to, but I don't know if I'll ever forgive them for what they did to Rylan. It was better with just Matt.

the new rylan blow the old, boring snoozefest out of the water.
it's a perfect paradigm of the band as a whole (layered and bringing us just to the edge of where it can take off, but then it lands gracefully).
