I've been listening to this bands two albums a lot recently and I think they're both damn good. Personally the debut Mister Green gets my vote since there's something about it that brings me back again and again more than the follow up Skymind does.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I like both albums considerably, and used to love Taal.   In the past I have voted for Mister Green , but I vote for Skymind.

Yeah Taal used to be one of my favorite bands. I don't really find them to be as engaging anymore. I prefer Skymind, but both are very good.

It's been eons since I've listened to either one, so no clue.

Both are must haves but I slightly nod towards the debut. Now, if we can get that third album in, one day  ......Confused
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Haven't listened to them in awhile myself, but I did prefer the debut back when, and I"m not anticipating that changing. Skymind is very good of course, but not as good. It would be nice to get that third album out soon!

Do you have a link to it? Search yields nothing.

I think the second is technically superior, but the soundscapes are less varied than one the debut.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
