You won't go wrong with anything up until 2007. Everything's great. The further back in their discography you go, the less post-rock and more screamo you'll get.

 

I always end up recommending From Here to Eternity, All the Footprints You've Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead and Insomniac Doze as they're my three favourite Envy albums. Three pretty different albums that they showcases their early, more screamo oriented sound (From Here to Eternity), the transition album where they started incorporating more post-rock (All the Footprints...) and the album where they leaned more towards beautiful, atmospheric post-rock and soundscapes, but without completely leaving the screamo behind (Insomniac Doze). 

 

So it all comes down to if you want screamo Envy, post-rock Envy or a little of both. I prefer the first, but that's just me.

is anything after 2007 bad or just not as good 

[Bear 1817]

It's not awful, but it's kinda boring tbh.

 

Compiled Fragments 1997–2003 is also a must if you're a fan of screamo. Collects tracks off splits and a few other tracks. Only thing bad about the release it's that because it's Envy, you'll miss out of Yaphet Kotto's three amazing tracks of the split with Envy and This Machine Kills. Which is a totally killer split with three great bands. Yaphet Kotto completely stole the show on the split tho.

Third track from the album has been released. It has been noted that a music video has been out for it too but I haven't seen it up yet.

[patientZERO 1066]

It's 2001 all over again. And that's a good thing.
