    1/2 Full
    I thought Red Mosquito would be preferred by a lot, but I didn't expect more than 80%.  Does the fact one came out several years before the other play a factor for anyone?
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.

    Not for me. I discovered both albums way later. It’s got to do with the whole album though... No Code being my favorite I listen to it way more. That being said, 1/2 Full is an excellent song and I absolutely love the live version someone posted above

    LO2L has RM on it.   I played that album into the dust - no way 1/2 can catch it
    Dig it, though.
    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    With No Code being my fave PJ Album, it is RM all the way, even have it tattooed on my arm!  1/2 Full is a dam good tune, but just doesnt have the same deep groove that RM does

    In my opinion red has silly lyrics.  
    Mcgruff is my polar opposite musically
    Aren’t the lyrics all about how he got food poisoning in San Fran 95 and pretty much came close to breaking up the band.

    That's what I understand them to be.  Neil Young coming to the rescue.

    Like them both. Haven’t seen 1/2 Full live yet, therefore it wins (which probably only makes sense in my brain lol)

    No Code is my favorite record so in the context of the album i would go Red Mosquito.  Just comparing song to song individually and live versions I like 1/2 Full slightly better.
