Is Goldbluff VDGG's best album?

Better than Pawn Hearts, The Least.... and H to He....

I dont see a single note wrong with Goldbluff. And "Arrow" is great
jazz fusion. All the fours songs sound different and are amazing. All
the songs are melodic (in a complex way) not a balladic way and have
AMAZZZZZZZING singing by Hammill... probably his best apart from The
Plague of Lighthouse Keepers

You can argue that Pawn Hearts had Lemmings which was slightly weak. H
to He had "Lost" which kind of is a little weak compared to others on
the book. And The Least had After the Flood which was a bit dull and
too long.

I still havent found Aerosol Grey Machine or Still Life on par with
those 4 albums. But I have to listen to Still Life more. The others
after Still Life are not as consistent or spectacular as those 4
albums.

It's actually the best record ever made by anyone ever, of course.

Perhaps your suggestion would carry more weight if you managed to get
the album title right?

Using the first option, my answer was going to be :

1. Voices
2. I Know There's Something Going On
3. New York Groove
4. ...and then I'm out.

Perhaps the clueless idiot was making a subtle comment on the fact that
the name of the band is misspelled on every album.
