9. Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant (2000): The absolute nadir of Belle & Sebastian's largely sterling catalog, the fourth full-length B&S is inconsistent, incoherent, and almost entirely unsatisfying. Nearly every member gets a spotlight of their own here and nearly every one of them underwhelms, from the just-OK (Stevie Jackson's "The Wrong Girl") to the utterly charmless "Family Tree" from Isobel Campbell. It doesn't help that this is Murdoch's weakest set of songs overall, although two out-and-out gems, "The Model" and "Women's Realm," go some way toward redeeming the proceedings.
