Thought it would be interesting to compare these two albums - they are obviously very different to eachother in many ways but quite similar as well especially when comparing each of them to Rudebox. So which album do you prefer? Vote and then compare the tracks seeing as they both have the same amount (although obviously the brilliant bonus track Arizona had to be left off). Both serious albums although in different ways - IC is alot more guitar driven while RKTVS is more on the electro side especially with Bodies, Weirdos and Disco (and obviously Arizona).

Morning Sun Vs Ghosts
Bodies Vs Tripping
You Know Me Vs Make Me Pure
Blasphemy Vs Spread Your Wings
Do You Mind? Vs Advertising Space
Last Days Of Disco Vs Please Don't Die
Somewhere Vs Your Gay Friend
Deceptacon Vs Sin Sin Sin
Starstruck Vs Random Acts Of Kindness
Difficult For Weirdos Vs The Trouble With Me
Superblind Vs A Place To Crash
Won't Do That Vs King Of Bloke And Bird


For me:

Ghosts
Tripping
MMP
Blasphemy
Advertising Space
Disco
Somewhere
Deceptacon
Random
Difficult
APTC
King Of Bloke

IC - 7
RKTVS - 5


Very suprising really - I prefer RKTVS overall as an album but obviously when each track is compared like that IC wins laugh.gif I was only listening to IC for the firs time in ages the other day - I had almost forgot what a cracking album it is - such brilliant lyrics (Random Acts in particular)and vocals and the production is excellent - an excellent complete album - and as Neil McCormick said it is like a complete piece of work by a singer-songwriter as oppose to a pop albums with 3 or 4 big singles and the rest filler. RKTVS is the same in many ways tbh. Some of the tracks were really close - especially the lead single Tripping and Bodies - both very differnt styles to the rest of the respective albums but I love them both and tbh tomorrow I'd prob pick Bodies as I love it more and more and it is stuck in my head more now than ever. wub.gif But Trippin wins today otherwise it wouldve been a tie. smoke.gif

I am just a simple man
With simple expectations
Deep regrets
They're seldom met
God speed my generation

I would like to see Rob working for one album with Stephan Duffy again. I also liked him working with Trevor Horn.
