And i am not even LOLLOLLOLa VDGG fan by any means!
 
 
Just they have 3 and a half good albums to one great TMV, you know which one!Wink so it makes the difference
 


Yeah, I understand your outlook there.

I'm not a VDGG hater or anything, I just think all of TMV's albums are really good... and De-Loused and Bedlam are absolute masterpieces. Closest thing VDGG has to a masterpiece, IMO, is Godbluff. And that's still like 4 stars.

Yay opinions! Wink

Both "Pawn Hearts" and "Godbluff" are 5 star albums in my book, and "Still Life" and "H to He..." come close. Not to mention the fantastic live album "Vital", which in my opinion is one of the very best live albums of all time.


Pawn Hearts is easily my least favorite of those 4, for reasons I could never understand. I can't get into Lemmings at all and Plague is okay at best... however, Man-Erg is pretty good. Godbluff is great, Still Life is close (but I have to be in the mood for it more so), and then H to He is a solid 3 star release. Then again, they're just not the band for me I suppose.

Another TMV voter right here!

I love both these bands, but TMV speaks to me a lot more than VDGG does.

TMV are also great fans of the Graaf.

Try getting De-Loused in the Comatorium if you're willing to give TMV another chance. Big%20smile

Maybe we can gradually rise up and overthrow the VDGG fan overlords. LOL
