So, Manitoba then...

Milk might actually be my most-played these days, just because it sits very nicely as music for music's sake without being too mentalist or pop.

which is the most mentalist one

Up In Flames, I'd say; it's the most breakneck, ideas-per-minute one. Milk is calmer, more laidback.

Ha, well, there's actually no guarantee I'd prefer UIF these days. We'll see.

Milk is still pretty fucking mental.

Up in Flames would be in my top 30 or so albums this decade. A landmark album.

Am liking Up In Flames muchly!

(yeah, I am on a bit of a "soooo what's Southall recommended me during my ILX'n years" tip at present, largely brought about by the dearth of new interesting music in 2009)

(also brought about by Spotify)

So far, Milk is possibly even better

Up in Flames would be in my top 30 or so albums this decade. A landmark album.

Yeah, I think it's a special disc, too. Not as enthusiastic about his work since then.

The deluxe edition of UIF is excellent, too. The B-Sides of all his albums are nearly as good as the studio material, and he puts out so much material!

I wasn't feeling Milk too much, but thought Andorra was fantastic -- that was a top 10 of the year for me. It's his shimmery summery psych-"pop" record, if anything is.
