Which of theses incredible albums is the better of the two. Both are in my top five albums of all time. But it’s always the NAGATB is my absolute favourite album by the Tangent.

I'll have to give The Tangent's albums a listen sometime, then I'll be able to see them from your angle. Smile

Oooops. Both are great. My initial urge was to vote for A Place in the Queue, but I'll listen to them both again tomorrow and then decide.

these two are some of the best music The Tangent has done. I would be able to choose only after careful listening to both. Smile

A Place in the Queue, I never got into the other one, it's too... overdone.

Both great albums but Queue just nudges it for me. I might have a Tangent morning now.

Both are excellent albums, but I prefer Not As Good As The Book, so it gets my vote.

I had the naff lyrics to Barry Manilow's Bermuda Triangle in mind when I wrote that. Smile

Very bad!

Well, it took it as a sign that you'd been reading some dodgy lyrics of some sort.

(sign/sine - get it?)

^ Yes, that's always a good sine. Tongue
 
 
Sorry to go off at a tangent again, and I'm not angling for compliments, but I've now added The Tangent to my Prog Britannia Four playlist in place of Ten Years After, who will now be along about ten weeks later. Smile
