I really wonder which one do you like better and of course I would like to see your reasons too. For me it is Afterglow since it is a really mature Scandinavin symphonic prog. I am not the biggest fan of Scandinavian symphonic prog bands since their lack of maturity in their insight of music. But Wobller perfectly overcomes this situation and come up with 2 great albums.

Wobbler has issued some quality music in their first two cd's. I know the third cd is on the way and I cant wait!Clap

I like Afterglow just slightly better than Hinterland, and I mean slightly by 0.00001%.  However, Wobbler is an excellent band that doesn't excite me as much as they used to.

Afterglow. This album resonates with me in a way that not many other albums do. 
I love Hinterland a lot, though.

They old versions of the songs on Afterglow are better.

Afterglow sure does that. Always a pleasure to listen.

Hinterland!But Afterglow is good too.

Hinterland is more coherent in terms of composition.  Very nice and four stars.

Afterglow suffers from the Anglagaard Syndrome: Piecing together numerous traditional-sounding "prog-rock" passages for the sake of making long pieces.  It's a mess.

I prefer Afterglow.  The album may be way too short by modern standards but the content is considerably better than Hinterland.  The best indication I can give is that when I'm in the mood for some Wobbler I usually reach for Afterglow.
