GG by a smidge. Islands is just soooo charming, though Octopus is the first GG LP I obtained and I have a soft spot for it.

A favorite, Octopus, against a least favorite. Easy choice.

Islands blows chunks. Octopus is the best of the early GG albums.

Octopus

|
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Islands. At least it has some super-solid moments.
I still don't get Octopus. Still feels like a mess.

Voted for Octopus. Took some time to appreciate but there's quite a lot of good music on it.
