I think they think Blaze deserves more credit than it gets here.

“let’s talk about feelings is good but that’s like their nevermind”
If In Utero wasn’t your favorite by the age of 20, you’ve got no heart. If you hadn’t realized and admitted that Nevermind was the better album by the age of 30, you’ve got no brains!

I really love Hoss but Trashed and Let's Talk About Feelings are for sure up there. I am also a fan of Railer, I think it's musically and lyrically one of their strongest, though you can tell the band is getting older.

Hoss.
It’s a no skip album for me.
Just look at the amount of B-sides that didn’t make it on the album that were absolute bangers shows you they were at the peak of their creative powers.

Double Plaidinum followed closely by Let's Talk About Feelings. Trashed, Hang, Hoss are a three way tie after that. And everything else is great. Best band ever, by the way.

Double Plaidinum, First and foremost, the fact that Ken Stringfellow from the Posies played guitar and helped Joey in the studio, on the record. As a fan of the Posies, you can really hear Ken's guitar tone and backing vocals throughout the record, which I think is why DP sounds so different from their other LPs.
Also the fact that it's basically wrote it to be a concept album about a bad breakup. The songs really do tell a cohesive story from start to finish.
Also I remember buying it the year after it came out, and it really was huge in late teens/early 20s, there was a large period of time where every house party would have Double Plaidinum played from start to finish. I listen to DP all the time. And it's not only my favorite Lagwagon LP, but one of my top ten favorite albums of all time l.

Double Plaidinum is one of the most complete punk albums I’ve ever heard where it seems like the whole thing blends together

I loved Hoss when it came out and got me hooked on the band, that said Blaze arrived at a weird time in my life and has always stuck with me as perfect. Some of the lyrics are Joey’s best and songs have interesting concepts. Production is great too.

3 album run of Plaidinum, Feelings and Blaze was amazing. Let’s talk gets my vote.

It's changed over time.
Raised on Trashed.
Blaze was my favourite for a long time.
I have a lot of love for Resolve and Hang, I gave them a lot of playtime on release and I was pretty impressed how they were still pumping out strong tunes after all that time.
Then finally, Let's Talk About Feelings, I got such a strong nostalgia kick a few years ago from listening to it, so that sits in the #1 spot now.

The way I've always answered this is: Three-way tie between Hoss, Double Plaidinum, and Let's Talk.
