    If you add Light Years to the Binaural list its much much closer IMO. But No Code... Sometimes and Off He Goes are just to goddamn good

    Why do I suspect most of you aren't adhering strictly to the rules..?

    Can't even answer. I call it equal with the songs listed from those two albums. Love them both so much.

    Listened to both studio today...no code by light years; seriously not even close.

    Binaural by a country mile, although No Code is great. Ed's singing on Binaural is phenomenal and Insignificance, the bridges of Evacuation, Grievance, his keys on Rival, the lyrics of Sleight of Hand, some of their richest material.

    I'm with you although I've never attributed the keys on Rival to Ed. What's the story with that?

    I like Binaural best as an album overall, but the OP's specific question put them neck and neck for me. But agree, Ed's voice on Binaural is at its best, and I find Binaural to be their most cohesive album.

    No Code. I consider Binaural an all time low for Ed.

    Totally agree. All though riot act was the low point for the band.

    Riot Act a low point? I'd say still peaking creatively at Riot Act. Their low point is Backspacer

    Lol. Will do. What can I say, they are my bottom two albums. Binaural isn't as bad as riot act. Parting ways is one of their greatest songs ever that is way underplayed.

    These are by far my favorite albums PJ has ever made, and a huge part of that can be credited to Ed's contributions to them, I think these are clearly his best 2 albums for music writing. So which one do you guys think he did better on?

    No Code:
    Sometimes
    Off He Goes
    Habit
    Lukin
    Around the Bend

    Binaural:
    Breakerfall
    Insignificance
    Grievance
    Soon Forget
    Parting Ways

    NO CODE by far
