Disco Volante I've never properly gotten into, actually. It's so bizarre and abrasive, and takes a while to really get going. I need to give it a good sit-down sometime soon.
As for the first one, it's my second favourite from them at the moment (was the only one I truly loved for a long, long time), but after listening to California so much in the past few months I can say that the former totally blows the latter out of the water. The debut, while still has some spectacular songwriting and musicianship, can feel a little bit too homogenous (which California is nearly the polar opposite of).
