so i bought both these albums on the same day many years ago (same ebay auction actually) and i still cant decide which is better. i really think Sophtware is better from beginning to end but Sumday has some of the greatest songs.

its kinda like when i bought DW and BLD; but those were easily sorted into listenable packages of similar awesomeness.

I bought Alice and Blood Money the same day. That was a good day. They're exactly what you might have wished Tom Waits would put out after Swordfishtrombones/Rain Dogs/Frank's Wild Years.

I think Sophtware Slump is better. It has to be because it came before Sumday which to me just embraces everything that makes Sophtware awesome. It's so haunting and dark in places which I really really like.

Sophtware's cover art beats Sumday's and was supposedly recorded "in my boxer shorts" so extra bonus points for that straight away.

I don't know Jason's attire for recording Sumday but I do know his cap is as cool as this little bitch of a fuckin' trick!



The guy can wear a cap well and Under The Western Freeway is waiting patiently behind this thread ready to own the winner.

i think the epic scope of Sophtware makes it the winner for me. and Miner at the Dial-a-View is the best grandaddy song, so there.

I remember thinking Devil's Workshop was fantastic at first and Black Letter Days was difficult and long. It didn't take long to change my mind on that one

My life is dirt but you seem to make it cleaner... reduce my felony to a misdemeanor

Not that I dislike Devil's Workshop now, it's just that it didn't grow on me with time.
