In this reviewers opinion, yes.

all of racecar is just.. phenomenal
i dont think ive ever heard anything that will compare
its still the album i listen to most, despite all the other releases ive seen since.
and thats including stuff done by other artists / bands / whatever
thats not to say VFVD or INWT is rubbish its just that racecar was the very essence of reuben to me.
its defined what i want from music for the rest of my life and if it was the only thing i could ever hear again i wouldnt mind.
its what i use to convert people from whatever has "the crown of gay" for the week to something real and deep and just... good.
ill also admit i had to google magnum opus...

Reuben's magnum opus is Return of the Jedi. Or Short History. |

Suffocation of the Soul was one of the most awesome examples of mature Reuben songwriting.
Despite Racecar being all about what got me into Reuben, I still think In Nothing We Trust is their best. _________________ Stay Puffed |

My vote is for A Short History....and I also think that INWT is Reuben's finest album, followed by Racecar, followed by Very Fast...Hmmm not sure how much I like the amount of shortened titles in this sentance but hey.
Although Jedi is a close second. _________________ If I all I am is flesh and blood I might as well be dog food.

Has to be Short History. Suffocation is incredible, no doubt, but it's a very Oceansizey sort of epicness, whereas no one else has anything which even resembles Short History. _________________ Well if you're just gonna be like that
Then I'll end up in a fight with someone that I really like |
