    You should be locked up for even attempting to put those two album in the same category (of universally acclaimed albums), nevermind in the same list!

    ... with all due respect.
    (seriously, Second Coming? It had 1 or 2 decent tracks on it but pales in comparison to their debut album, even Garage Flower destroys most of the material on SC, and they didn't even know what they were doing when a lot of those songs were recorded!)
