Both have a similar rating and share things in common, but the latter is sometimes considered more friendly and the former the more innovating one.
Still, I think Man-Child is the better album, more refined less incosistent.
Thrust is probably their best in terms of composition and playing.

| The Headhunters. Even better is the album of the Headhunters themselves; Survival of the fittest. |

Headhunters has Chameleon and the funk version of Watermelon Man, but Man-Child is a more consistent album. Man-Child ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm

Yeah, those are my thoughts with the exception that I'm not really fond of the funk version of Watermelon Man. I prefer the jazz one by a wide margin.

me too in fact, i prefer the live version of Watermelon Man from Flood than the studio. But the original is the best (i just recently learned the song on guitar; very fun) ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/MysticBoogy" rel="nofollow - My Last.fm
