I have to plead ignorance on Liquid Swords, but ICHTHBAO (which sounds like a fish disease) would beat alot of albums that I really liked, so YLT

I got it.

Now that you mention it, I pretty sure there's a sushi restaurant in my neighborhood named ICHTHBAO. City Search says: 'fresh fish, great service, low-key atmosphere...'

This is very tough. Liquid Swords is one of the most underated hip-hop albums of all time. I don't know if it's because not a lot of people heard it or not - but this was Wu-Tang soundscapes taken to their most angular capacity. YLT is a lush album; it's adorable - it's like sweet and salty - how can you compare. I prefer salty. I like Gza.

This is a heartbreaking bracket for me, as i love both of these albums so much. But i suppose if push came to shove, i'd have to go with YLT.

I'm going with YLT here. Ira Kaplan from YLT is an ex rock critic and still has alot of pull in the industry. Keith never got the memo but the fix is in.

YLT...because they simply can not disappoint you and because there is always something so appealing about their albums...and because i'm vaguely familiar with...wait, who was that again
