Somehow for me personally these albums have always felt very different from each other but my impression today is that they have more in common than I had realized.
LTIA - excellent album with lots to discover. Feels a bit cold and intellectual at times, and the mix is uneven.
Red - uses some of the best elements of LTIA in more direct and condensed form. This always had more appeal to me, but LTIA is catching up these days. Still vote for Red.

My bad, I completely missed that small detail...nevermind.
Thank you for supporting independently produced music

Could go with either. LTIA by a smidge...

Today is Lark's, tomorrow might be Red, and so forth. Both great albums, with great music I enjoy very much.

Red by a slim margin. Larks is excellent.

Both are great, but I dig Red more.

Larks' Tongues... especially because of the track "The Talking Drum"... one of may all-time favorites.

In Larks KC creates a new sound: historically, Larks is more important than Red.

But If I consider the quality and the beauty of the music, Red is superior. Red is a real masterpiece, 

Larks is a great album but not a great masterpiece.
