Which one do you prefer. I know they are both amazing albums, but just curious.

    Jar Of Flies is my favourite chill-out album of all time. Gotta go for it over Sap, if the two had been released as the one full-length album it would've been amazin

    Well, I just put both on one cd-r. But if I was forced to choose, I'd have to go with Jar of Flies. But next month I will probably say Sap. Both show the greatness and range of the band. To go from Facelift and Dirt to these two albums (ep's) is just incredible.

    i love jar of flies. but when i put sap on hearing cornell's voice come out of the speakers during right turn is just divine.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    Oh my god...this has got to be the most difficult question to answer EVER!!!

    It's like asking me if I'd rather sleep with Sebastian Bach or Chris Cornell.

    To make things fair, I'm going to base my decision on the "shit tracks"

    "Love Song" is...in my opinion, far better than "Swing on This"

    Sap, it is.
    I'll cut you in.

    Very, very tough. But I'd go for Jar of Flies, which is one of my favorite albums ever.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    By the way, I think my answer is SAP, in a very, very close battle.

    i don't have to choose...i have the double lp with both!

    but i'd probably choose sap, just because it came out first and it's a bit more rootsy.

    what is this double lp??

    i think id go for jar of flies, but then im not sure if i ever actually listened to all of sap. but i stay away, no excuses, and don't follow are probly my 3 fav aic songs period, so that's tough to beat.

    Enamored with SAP.

    Well considering that I combined these 2 lovely discs onto 1 disc...I will say that Jar Of Flies/Sap is the best. :)
    Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    Jar of Flies for me, it don't get better than the first four songs on that record.

    RIGHT TURN alone makes me wanna instantly say SAP. :o All of these voices together???? :eek:
    I mean god damn! Serious dream come true.

    But honestly if forced to choose it's JAR OF FLIES all the way for me. No contest really.
    Love this brilliant album to no end. :o
    I still can't believe it's only 7 tracks long!!!!
    As I always say, prime example of quality not quantity
    ...and further proof of the genius that is AIC.

    Jar Of Flies is way better. Longer, better written, etc etc. Sap is beautiful though. I pair the two when I listen anyway :cool:

    There was a re-release with Sap and jar Of Flies on the same LP/CD, could be wrong but I think it was a European release only. You can pick em up on ebay

    jar of flies simply because it has 2 more songs than sap, love the whole jar album and the first 3 tracks on sap.
