I think his music has gotten much more accessible and less obscure over time. I think The Impossible Kid (his most recent album) is a much better point of reference for what's interesting about his work, and it deals with topics in ways that are easier to understand and relate to, but equally as interesting and well considered (See: Lotta Years -> reflections on getting older, Blood Sandwich -> Looking back on some family moments, Kirby -> Heartfelt and hilarious ode to his cat)
