This is their highest-ranked album here, and people that I know also think it's their best album. I like it alot, but every one of their earlier albums is better, except for Victorialand. How could anyone think this is better than Treasure or Head Over Heels or Garlands. That's koo koo..

Heaven Or Las Vegas is my favourite, although I can appreciate the case for Treasure being better. Head Over Heels is good but not on the same level. Garlands is their worst album IMO. Then again, I'm also a big fan of their later work - especially Four Calendar Cafe.

Well, it's a good sign when everybody has a different opinion of what the best one is. That could only mean that the artist had a lot of good albums.
I also like one of their later albums a lot. Milk and Kisses, but I think Four Calendar Cafe is my least favorite.

And unlike anyone else I could think of, Their EP's and singles were some of their best records.

Actually, the Pink Opaque is actually my very favorite one, but it's really a compilation of early singles and EP tracks. But I didn't know that for the longest time. I thought it was just one of their regular albums. Heh heh.
