What is your favorite album, considering the SOE leaks?

I haven't heard SOE yet but I HIGHLY doubt it will be bumping any of my top three, which are TJT, TUF, and AB. Even top five would be a stretch, though it is possible. October and Pop round out that list.

I guess I'll find out on Friday.

It's still way to early for me to rank it against the other albums.   I generally need a little bit of time with it and it takes a while for the 'newness' sheen to wear off. When SOI came out I thought it was awesome - perhaps top 5 - but in the time since it's settled quite comfortably to about 7th, 8th or 9th.

I really like SOE right now but even on its best day it's not breaking into my top 3 (TUF, TJT, AB).

Hold on, people! The man's talking about waste management. That affects the whole damn planet.

Why are Zooropa and Passengers the same option?

TUF and October should not be in anybody's top 5.
TUF is kind of middle of the road.
October is probably a bottom 3 pick.

Because Passengers was released close to Zooropa and I don't really consider it that standalone.

Not voting because Zooropa and Passengers are not the same album.

Is this seriously going to be a major protest?

And I didn't say they were the same, I just had one option for both.

Huh?  They were released nearly two years apart from each other, 7/5/93 and 11/6/95.  Even if hey were released one day after the other, they are still two distinct pieces of music.

The way I see it is that much of Passengers isn't great, so I remove Passengers and move Miss Sarajevo, Your Blue Room, Slug, Always Forever Now, and HMTMKMKM to Zooropa.

October not in my top 5 for content.
October in my top five for context with which it was heard the first time I heard it.
