I'm actually currently revisiting these two albums; I've been listening to full blast all day, non-stop. I think I threw Colour Of Spring in there too just to keep it fresh - great album as well.
These two albums, the dynamic duo, man, I don't even know where to start with them. They don't sound a tad dated, and though, I wasn't even around when they were originally printed, I can tell you compared to most albums of the day, they sound so crisp and vibrant - it's great, especially Laughing Stock. As for my preference between the two, I'd say Laughing Stock takes it for sure. Spirit Of Eden had this mystique and watery atmosphere that I loved, but I admire the more extended and experimental arrangements of the latter. Atmospheric Music, it's all about that atmosphere. Big smile

I see what you mean and feel because when i first heard Spirit of Eden it looked quite boring to my ears and the same for the friends i helped discovered it, i remember a thread about repeated listenings on PA, it's realy necessary  for these albums

So why bother telling us that?


Because it counts as "neither" to the original question?


There is no "neither" option.
