Is The Bastard Hammers' best album?

just heard trot out the dead for the first time, not only awesome but already better than anything on the bastard. should i go ahead and get the locust years or is it not representative of the rest?
For what it's worth, I think "Trot out the Dead" is easily the best track on the disc, and in no way representative of the rest of the disc.
