personally i wouldn't pick bath or leaving your body map, they are both two parts of the same thing in my mind, more a double album than two distinct wholes and all the different symmetries just enforce that.

Bath most defs, and PtS over this too



First half is awesome, second half falls off a bit. Both those other albums are p much watertight #bath [2]

This is gr8 gr8 no doubt but Bath is like getting lost, and PtS is still the best record for a psych trip I've found

I'm gonna go with quetzal's approach and group them both in one hell of a jam.

I'll get to PtS, in due time.

wasn't it something like bath is spiritual cleansing and leaving your body map is astral projection after you've been cleansed? been a while since i thought about any of that

I always felt that Bath represented spring and summertime, whereas LYBM represented fall and winter.



"Stones of October's Sobbing" is like the beginning of fall, where the leaves are just turning red and yellow. Later songs introduce sleigh bells, and "Monstrously Low Tide" starts like a blizzard and ends with the snow melting. All the splashing on Bath definitely reminds me of swimming in the lake on a hot summer day. Water and heat are themes on Bath, whereas snow and cold are themes on LYBM.

Cover art of bath looks like a hot desert, cover art of body map has a bath tub - for water
