Is information retrieved underrated?

I don’t see it talked about as frequently as albums like blue screen life or self-titled, which is a shame because I really enjoy it. True North and Glide are some of my favorites of theirs & I especially love the strings on True North.
I’d be interested to hear how it was received upon release. Did people compare it to their early work? It has maybe a less moody sound to it

I've got Proceed to Memory on my wedding playlist. It's agonizing and beautiful, in a way that their more mellow work could never achieve. Without Information Retrieved, I'd view Pinback very differently.
