_Us_ comes pretty close. "Steam" and "Digging in the Dirt" are somewhat
forgettable, but decent songs, and after hearing the live version of
"Washing of the Water," the studio version sounds really flat.
I'd probably put _So_ on my list before _Us_ (they're both better albums
than 99% of everything else out there though!)

_Close To The Edge_ has that same continuity issue for me. "Siberian Khatru"
is great, but doesn't mesh very well with "CTTE" and "And You And I," which
are both marvelous.

Yup.

The first song on there is always a skipper, for me. Otherwise...
