Everything now is way worse because it was made in 2017 and by that nature is way more complacent.

Beaches and Canyons is better because Here Comes the Indian wouldn't exist without it plus the drums are way better

>>74276997
here comes the Indian has more idiosyncratic production

love streams because it wasn't made with cheap MIDI sounds but created with actual live recordings

Tough to choose. In my opinion Infant Dressing Table through Two Sails on a Sound push HCTI over the edge. The arrangement of sound on HCTI keeps the disjointed feel without sounding borderline clumsy, which Beaches and Canyons does at points in my opinion. I feel like I've heard other things that sound like Black Dice, but HCTI locks down a sort of uniqueness in the timbres it uses, and the songwriting structures on the opening two and closing two tracks, which isn't really a feature that B&C shares because the tracks aren't necessarily "songs". So I guess I choose HCTI. But they're both great

The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin
Mercury Rev - Deserter's Songs

I'm going to assume that more work went into the Soft Bulletin based on that documentary pitchfork put out but I'm also dumb

Bharoocha's drumming on Beaches and Canyon's is really incredible stuff, but I would have to give it to Here Comes The Indian. Geologist's role on that album is really fascinating, they had contact mics on Panda's drums feeding into Geo's mixer and a significant part of the noise to the album was built off that. It helps give the album a franticness that I prefer overall.
