If Reckoning is "File Under Water" and Document is "File Under Fire," then which albums are "File Under Air" and "File Under Earth"?

For File Under Air, I pick either Up or Reveal. Up has "Airportman" and "You're in the Air," but also "Parakeet" (a bird) and "Falls to Climb" (which suggests motion through the air). Reveal has "The Lifting," "I've Been High," "Summer Turns to High," and "I'll Take the Rain" whose titles invoke soaring through the air (if you ignore the drug connotations of "high"). "Beachball" also has very airy connotations.

For File Under Earth, I pick Lifes Rich Pageant. This is their first overtly political album, with the environment being a particularly common theme, like in "Fall on Me" and "Cuyahoga." "The Flowers of Guatemala" is earthy, and "Underneath the Bunker" suggests being deep inside the earth.

Come up with more File Under _____ for the other albums! For instance, Monster could be "File Under Fame"
