Mirage or Moonmadness?

   I personally find both albums rather weak, but ... Moonmadness. The compositions are better, and Andy Ward gets to really shine.

	Oddly enough, the only two Camel albums I own. I'll go with Moonmadness simply because I'll reach for it first given the opportunity.

	Mirage. Moonmadness starts and ends great, but I find the "middle" songs to be somewhat lacking.

	Mirage, that opening beercan effect is a prog icon!
	I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

	Both are good, but I have always felt more liking for Moonmadness.

	Again, both very similar and similarly rated albums on PA (4.38). Mirage has just recently overtaken Moonmadness on PA, but every website shows a different outcome, so I thought this poll might be close? Personally, my favourite is Mirage by a long way. Moonmadness is definitely good, but nothing compared to Mirage in my mind Once again, thanks for any feedback! Edited by Xonty - February 23 2014 at 14:24
