Does anyone seriously think Laughing Stock is better?

Does anyone seriously think Laughing Stock is better?

Yes, I definitely do.

As a body of work I find them sort of inseperable. I can't imagine heavily favouring one over the other.

It's a better and perfected version of SOE essentially.

Yeah, I seriously do.

I am so happy that I have this record.

I'm truly happy for you, user. :)
Awesome record

I just googled if there is a version being sold in my country and there was one actually. Pretty cheap too. I didn't expect to find anything, couldn't believe it.

The fact that anyone has ever considered Laughing Stock to be better is just ridiculous to me. I mean everyone has their own tastes but come on

You're not a minority OP

Is the general consensus that SoE is superior? I've always got the impression that LS is the favorite.

I like them equally, both are incredibly good.

me

Can we al agree that Eden is the best track?

Check out the track "the rainbow"

New Grass and After the Flood is infinitely superior to anything on Spirit of Eden at least.

Do you people seriously think Spirit of Eden is better than Laughing Stock?

This is truly surprising to me
Laughing Stock is one of the greatest albums ever made
Spirit of Eden is good, but it comes nowhere near LS imo

They're both 10/10 but Spirit of Eden is better imo

Yeah I do

This.

The only reason everyone on Sup Forums pits constantly them against each other is because pitting them against other non-Talk Talk albums would be laughable

Both records are shit.

I like Laughing Stock more because it's more impressionistic, SoE sounds more like rock

It has more personality, but Spirit of Eden is better and happier, even if it's more barren.
