Well, not black&white tame vs. chaos. I think LET IT BE is amazing, and the 
triumvirate of LET/TIM/PTMM is a hard one to top for anyone (we've had THAT 
thread many times over the years) - I love TIM and PTMM wall to wall. But 
even though the last two are glorified Paul solo records I like them better 
overall compared to the first two. The fact that I also like HOOT so much 
makes it a really close call for me.
