I totally agree with you. VdGG really found their sound on "The Least We Can Do Is Wave to Each Other".
Other very good 2nd albums:
Can - "Tago Mago" (which they themselves counted as their 2nd album,
because "Soundtracks" is just that, a collection of soundtracks that
were originally not intended to be on an album).
Amon Düül 2 - "Yeti".
Guru Guru - "Hinten".
Embryo - "Embryo's Rache".

This is not a fair contest. Acquiring The Taste is simply perfect.

Images and Words. It's still widely held as their best, and WDADU as their worst. Can there possibly be a better follow up, contrast wise?

Tarkus for me too. I also have a weakness for "In the Wake of Poseidon", but I'd never say it was the best possible follow-up to the monumental ITCOTCK. How do you follow up such a masterpiece?

I voted tarkus, Im not sure if its my favourite on the list, but i think its an improvment over ELP's first album, actually I think its the best thing ELP ever did.

Acquiring The Taste. Gentle Giant leaped to another level of
sophistication on this one at " the risk of being unpopular". I love
everything about this album the photo, the liner notes, the cover art
and of course the Music. Gentle Giant in it`s infancy. A foreshadow of
what was going to be heard from these guysin the coming years.
Classic progressive rock from the heyday of the genre.

GG - ATT. A huge leap forward towards the band's unique style and a
truly cracking listen. Pantagruel's Nativity is one of the purest most
perfect examples of what Progressive Rock really means.
...for me, anway.
