what do y'all think is tortoise's best album? discuss. I'm saying Standards. Prove me wrong. I dare ye.

I dunno. I only own Standards and Millions Now Living, and even between those two, it's hard to say.

I guess I'll go with Millions, mainly for "Djed", but the other tracks are pretty nice, too.

aw man. I was all ready to be a contrarian and everything. But you're correct. Le order:

Standards
Millions Now Living Will Never Die
Tortoise
It's All Around You
TNT

No way TNT is worse than It's All Around You. Just no way.

don't worry, DC, it's gonna be allright.

If the bulk of TNT was just half as good as "TNT" and "Swung from the Gutters," then yeah, probably. But alas, such is not the case.

Usually the first thing I hear by a band is my favourite (in this case, that would be TNT), but alas, you are correct, it is Standards.

Standards
TNT
Millions Now Living Will Never Die
Tortoise
Tortoise/The Ex - In the Fishtank
It's All Around You

Millions Now Living Will Never Die

I like Standards but Millions edges it out (esp the Japanese import version with Gamera).
