In Utero has actually gotten even better over time. Incredible record.

I was a late comer to this one, so I need to live with it a little more, I think.
However, just about anything Eno touches is pure gold.

As much as I love Bowie, In Utero is a genius.

Really tough call between In Utero and Low. I voted for the former, although I really hope both make it through this round.

Wu-Tang is great, too, of course.

I never really liked Document very much.

low. maybe just because it's out of bowie's berlin era and it somehow delivers this strange 80s west berlin vibe to me.

Even though this has become my favorite Nirv rekkid, and one of my faves of the decade, I had to vote for Wu -- that shit turned rap on it's head.

It wins if just for the "Torture" skit.

I voted A Guy Called Gerald out of protest. it can't be by accident that you have such great groupings and such shitty groupings so early on.

Agreed, you could have done this using the listmania ranking, and broke them down into five album pairings.

I went with In Utero for its sheer brilliance, but Document holds a special place in my heart and is my favorite R.E.M. behind Murmur.
