diatribein Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I felt inspired by the Permanent Waves vs. Moving Pictures thread so... Rules are simple. It is a song by song battle based on the track order on each album. You pick your favourite of the two on offer. Distant Early Warning < The Big MoneyAfterimage < Grand DesignsRed Sector A < Manhattan ProjectThe Enemy Within > MarathonThe Body Electric ≥ TerritoriesKid Gloves > Middletown DreamsRed Lenses > Emotion DetectorBetween The Wheels < Mystic Rhythms WOAH!!! 4 - 4! The difficult battle for me is track #5 which has my favourite song from each of these albums against each other. I went with The Body Electric by a smidgen, but it could easily be Territories. For that reason I feel like Power Windows wins despite it being a tie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas King Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 1) DEW is way better than Big Money2) Afterimage beats Designs3) Red Sector A is slightly better than Manhattan Project 4) Marathon easily beats Enemy Within 5) Body Electric or Territories - tie (neither song is that good) 6) Middletown Dreams beats Kid Gloves 7) Red Lenses or Emotion Detector - neither 8) Between the Wheels crushes Mystic Rhytms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Nice idea for a topic.Here's mine for the current time: Distant Early Warning = The Big MoneyAfterimage = Grand DesignsRed Sector A < Manhattan ProjectThe Enemy Within > MarathonThe Body Electric < TerritoriesKid Gloves > Middletown DreamsRed Lenses < Emotion DetectorBetween The Wheels < Mystic Rhythms The current results surprise me, since I like Kid Gloves and The Enemy Within so much and The Body Electric was a fave for a while, but taking each other on in this format leads to a Power win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenjaminW Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Distant Early Warning | The Big MoneyAfterimage | Grand DesignsRed Sector A | Manhattan ProjectThe Enemy Within | MarathonThe Body Electric | TerritoriesKid Gloves | Middletown DreamsRed Lenses | Emotion DetectorBetween the Wheels | Mystic Rhythms Choosing between the final tracks of both albums was the hard one for me. MR has a great catchy vibe to it and BTW always attracts me to Neil's thunderous drumming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toymaker Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 For me, every song on Grace is slightly better than its track# counterpart on Power Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 These two albums are a high water (pun intended) mark for me and each song changes in my favour reguarly.I can play both albums right through without missing a track.Hold Your Fire is when i started skipping tracks like High Water.

Though I absolutely love The Big Money and Territories, I love Distant Early Warning and The Body Electric even more.

grasbo Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Big Money,Afterimage,Red Sector A,Marathon,Territories,Middletown Dreams,Emotion Detector,Between the Wheels.Just burnt a cd of these tracks.I will listen to it in the car today to see how it goes.Themain problem will be that GUP is very dark sounding album whereas PoW is very bright,as we all know.
