For me, Noise Floor was pretty great over-all, all songs included, but I think it might be hard for it to top all of BNADS, but it is pretty close. Having Nick back behind the kit really elevated the sound of NF for me, though that's not to say that Jimmy wasn't bad either, as I enjoy both of their drumming styles and nuances, but Nick has just gotten so good over the years. I think his time with Big Big Train really took his drumming to new heights.
The Oblivion Particle is the one of the three Ted-Era albums I don't go back to often. It's got a few great songs I really enjoy, especially "Bennett Built A Time Machine" (featuring Jimmy on vocals!), but I think the album kind of suffered from not having more writers on it. IIRC, without looking it up, all but two of the album's nine songs were written by Boegehold. They aren't BAD songs, per se, but the thing I enjoy about SB is the variety of writing styles between all the members, and I would have liked to have seen more Alan and Ryo penned songs on the album. Thankfully they mixed it up a bit more with Noise Floor, and even relegated a few of the Boegehold songs to the bonus disc.
I have a feeling it might be quite some time before the next SB album gets made, especially given that Pattern-Seeking Animals are already working on a third album. Who knows, though, maybe someone in the band might surprise us and announce a new album for next year. I'd be down for it, especially considering there are few albums I'm looking forward to in 2021 (Transatlantic, Big Big Train, Steven Wilson, and supposedly Dream Theater). A new SB album could really liven things up! It's not like they would have toured extensively for it even if there wasn't a pandemic.
