For a while, it was Pele, but I think I've come to prefer Choirgirl for its consistency and for how absolutely thick with atmosphere it is.

1. "Raspberry Swirl"

2. "Hotel"

3. "I I E E E"

4. "Spark"

5. "Cruel"

The two are commonly seen as "sibling albums", but in the album rankings I've seen, people tend to have Earthquakes above Pink, whereas I see the latter as a bolder, slightly more experimental version of the former. The piano-and-strings songs feel richer and more atmospheric, and the rockers feel punchier and beefed-up.

I can almost hear the theme playing after "It's a picture of Hitler!"

The verses are absolutely mesmerizing, and that chorus is like a vast wall of gorgeous purple sound.
