someone 12.09.23	I love SoE, but probs LS
YakNips 12.09.23	laughing stock
theBoneyKing 12.09.23	LS but the amazing thing is we don’t really have to pick!
Spec 12.09.23	Sleep Token - Spirit Of Eden
brainmelter 12.09.23	The colour of spring! jk but not really Spirit of Eden
SomeCallMeTim 12.09.23	Spirit of Eden has the best song but Laughing Stock is the greatest album of all time
SomeCallMeTim 12.09.23	Ministry - With Sympathy vs. Talk Talk - Party's Over
Ryus 12.09.23	thats probably true
robertsona 12.09.23	Laughing stock
Jash 12.09.23	Both are incredible, and I’ve always leaned slightly towards the latter, but because I almost died in a car accident two years ago with Myrrhman playing, and my phone had disconnected at the moment we hit the tree so I know exactly where in the song my partner and I almost died, I will forever choose Laughing Stock
Winesburgohio 12.09.23	Laughing Stock, but I'm really feeling the loss of one of my limbs
Winesburgohio 12.09.23	An aside: LS > Colour > Mark Hollis > Spirit of Eden, but all four are at least 4.5 records
JohnnyoftheWell 12.09.23	hex>pygmalion>ls>>spirit "Taphead clinches it" accurate
Havey 12.09.23	LS for sure the worst song on LS (after the flood) is evenly matched with the best songs on spirit... other than that it's a bloodbath hex is an extremely uninteresting album, by the way
JohnnyoftheWell 12.09.23	nice one lou reed!
robertsona 12.09.23	I also don’t like hex much, but I absolutely love after the flood too
Ryus 12.09.23	i love spirit of eden so much but this became as one-sided as it should be
SomeCallMeTim 12.09.23	yeah after the flood is incredible but I also never got on the hex train
GhandhiLion 12.09.23	I'm surprised by how one sided this is.
Ryus 12.09.23	i like hex a lot and pygmalion is pretty good but obv these 2 absolutely destroy anything either of those bands have done
GhandhiLion 12.09.23	"the worst song on LS is evenly matched with the best songs on spirit." Closer to the other way round for me
GhandhiLion 12.09.23	Hex rules. I can understand prefering it to these.
Ryus 12.09.23	"i believe in you" is the only track on spirit that might match up for me
AlexKzillion 12.09.23	laughing stock m/
BaselineOOO 12.09.23	dad music zzz
BaselineOOO 12.09.23	I listened to a bit of Laughing Stock just now. First track is a nonsense intro, Ascension Day has this ridiculously loud treble in the mix (might sound good to very old/near deaf people??), After the Flood is an idea of a song with a bunch of bad vibe effects in the middle (they probably think it's deep) that make me sick to my stomach. I'm done with this. Band makes me feel old and tired, can't feel much artistic vision or energy behind their albums. They're the Wim Wenders of music, that level of boring I guess! Also, I bet Spirit of Eden is objectively better, just because Havey enjoys it less.
Ryus 12.09.23	paris texas is a 5/5 ya
BaselineOOO 12.09.23	two good movies 23 boring ones lol
Ryus 12.09.23	possibly thats the only one ive see
BaselineOOO 12.09.23	watch Alice in the Cities it's lovely Ryus < 3
pizzamachine 12.09.23	BASELINE IS NOT THE SAVIOUR OF SPUTNIK YOU HAVE BEEN DECEIVED
robertsona 12.09.23	Paris texas def has some issues, good vibe tho
Ryus 12.09.23	perfect film for me
Hendoi 12.09.23	Eden
Scoot 12.09.23	laughing stock but don't sleep on the hollis solo album ether
Ladron93 12.11.23	Hearing both of two albums in the past, Spirit of Eden has become my pick. Shame he passed away.
Havey 12.11.23	"First track is a nonsense intro" wish baseline spent as much time developing their taste as they did planning their diet >.> so much wasted potential... myrrhman is the ideal opener
JohnnyoftheWell 12.11.23	the rainbow is the ideal opener, you partisan crank
Pangea 12.11.23	spirit of eden team all the way the rainbow is best talk talk song
zakalwe 12.11.23	Eden
CamiloG 12.11.23	Spirit of Eden!
Hendoi 12.12.23	I believe in you spirit of eden
Havey 12.12.23	the spirit agenda is alive - and cooking?
BaselineOOO 12.12.23	Hey Havey. So, I unfollowed AntiWarhol because he praised a goofy-ass gypsy music record that deserves no more than 0.5 stars and he somehow found out and messaged me immediately: "Not sure why you removed me. I would've appreciated it if you'd let me know so I could've removed you as well since I don't want to see your ratings as well." Can you tell me what is this dude all about?? Why does he even follow me or care about what I do, his usual stuff I despise, "world music" - that was like my 2013 phase. Oh yeah, and he asked me why I unfollowed him and then blocked me right after, as if I hurt his feelings what.the.hell.
Havey 12.12.23	i think they're terminally online (explains the deterioration of taste), but let's not forget that people have relentlessly copied/"droned" their faves for 10+ years, such that developing schizophrenia seems almost inevitable? relatable in a way, though... it's a relieving feeling to be unfollowed: finally you can stop pretending to like a user (i'm a nice person, so i used to always follow back out of courtesy...)
GhandhiLion 12.12.23	Lol picks or didn't happen
GhandhiLion 12.12.23	Not that it's far fetched.
BaselineOOO 12.12.23	https://i.imgur.com/r1zW5ZP.png I see. Well, Havey, I have decided to suddenly like you and consequently follow you on RYM. I think you're kind of a schmuck sometimes but you're alright. You don't have to worry about following me back or something, I don't care much about socializing these days. +I might unfollow you again in a couple of hours anyways if I feel like it, heh.
GhandhiLion 12.12.23	Weird guy. Said some crazy shit on the forums a long time ago too. I do appreciate all the effort they put into adding non western/globalised music to rym.
Havey 12.18.23	thank you cristina, let's see how long it lasts this time... but let's also acknowledge that ryus is suppressing the spirit agenda by not updating this list
