Didn't expect the mantle to get this close.

what a tough match. If I only had enough money to buy one album and that album was my last ever, I'd have to pick....

The Mantle has an atmosphere that's all it's own. It's the most winter album you could ever hope to find. It also somehow has been an album that consistently tricks non metal fans into thinking that metal isn't just a style used by angsty teens that like growling when their parents ask them to fold their laundry.

Also consider that in rainbows is a good album at best that was made by a hugely popular band and that's it. King Midas' stapler

The Mantle!

Although In Rainbows is one of my more favorite Radiohead albums based off what I've heard...

But still, The Mantle.

The Mantle blew my mind more.

In Rainbows is more easy to put one without dedicating yourself to anything, but I gotta give it to Mantle.

I enjoyed The Mantle more than I thought I would, but In Rainbows used to be in my top 5, so I think I'm going with that.

Both have good moments, but aren't that great overall.

Of these two, I like In Rainbows better, but I'm not here for it going very far in the tournament. Overall, it's only slightly better than average.

Oh sweet I've already heard both of these. Easily The Mantle for me. It was a really pleasant surprise. I recommend it for anyone that likes ambient music.

I love The Mantle musically, but could never handle the vocal affectations. In Rainbows is easily one of my favorite records, so In Rainbows by a landslide.

Since I haven't listened to it in a while, I tried The Mantle again. I find it incredibly boring now. I used to enjoy it so I wonder what caused this change of heart.

I loved In Rainbows at first, and I still enjoy it now overall. I like it slightly less now probably because I've heard King of Limbs, which may be a sister album to it in a way but the songs could be of higher quality.

The Mantle is pretty dope. I know it won't win (despite being the superior album, objectively of course), but I'm certainly voting for it.

To be fair, it'd be difficult to be worse than In Rainbows (though I can name about 20 or so albums I dislike more).

Heard both. One I've heard probably 15 times, and one I've heard
Once. One I thought was a real good metal album and one is on my chart and all.

Pretty easy choice for me.
