Actually, I'd argue Dai Hakken is the underrated Jihen album. I thought it was a bit better than Sports, but not as well-received because most were just burned out of the Phase 2 sound by the time it dropped.

My ratings:

1. Kyouiku


2. Adult
3. Dai Hakken
4. Sports
5. Color Bars


6. There is no six

The poor album production that many of you complain about has never really bothered me, but Kyouiku was always the one album that was unbearable to listen to even if my ears aren't that discriminating when it comes to that stuff. Dynamite Out

As I've upgraded my equipment over the years, Kyouiku has started to bother me less. Meanwhile post-Adult albums sound worse and worse. Sora ga Natteiru is almost unbearable.

Hmmm. I usually just go by the cover:

I usually go by the discography listing on their official site: https://www.kronekodow.com/disco/disco_detail_16.html

Based on my fanmade remaster, my top 10 sr/tj albums:
1. MM
2. KSK/SS/Daihakken
3. Adult
4. Variety/Sports/Sanmon Gossip
5. Kyouiku/Reimport
6. the cover album/color bars
7. Sunny

I LOVE Sunny, but the mastering is crap and some audible distortion are horrible.
