I always pronounce Pawn Hearts as Pwn(Own) Hearts.

I think Pawn Hearts is less cohesive. Maybe a 9/10 for me because of all the experimentation, but there are only a few moments throughout where I consider the music completely beautiful. H to He is much more solid.

oh man.....

as a non-VdGG fan per se.... I always thought H to He was a much stronger album... it sure does get many more listens than Pawn Hearts does at least...

Pawn Hearts for me too. H to He is all fine and dandy - except for Killer which, when all is said and done, is a little bit silly.

Both albums are great. I prefer "H to He..." for some reasons...

Pawn Hearts is the greatest album of VDGG, and absolutely a masterpiece of prog music, but personally I prefer H to He

"H to He, Who am the Only One" has more memorable songs. It's just more melodic ( in good sense of meaning ).

I prefer Pawn Hearts.
However both albums are great. It's pity, that since then they hasn't recorded anything as good as their 68-70's output.

Pawn Hearts gets my vote, but only just. 'H to he..' is an excellent album too.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Hmm, there must be something to VDGG, as so many people like them (the Sixth Formers were playing them on the Common Room hifi today!) but I just can't see it. I think it's Hamill's voice and vocal style that turns me off; I quite like the music.
