Songs for the Deaf is incredible, but how could you say they fell off when Like Clockwork Era Vulgaris exists and is clearly their best album all the way through?

100%

Era Vulgaris is by far my favorite album of theirs.

"fell off" is interpreted very strongly by some, I just see it as "here's their peak, after that they never made something quite as good as that"

And to me that's SftD even if EV is still awesome!
