SOE has some winners but compare song against song and SOI is a better album. And SOE had grown on me in a big way, so right off the bat, I liked SOI better.

Originally posted by U232323:I think the band liked SOE over SOI - they dropped the SOI songs for AB. That tells you something.
Originally posted by deanallison:I think the band showed plenty of faith in both albums live. 6 songs from SOI + Invisible were played every night on the I&E tour, that pretty much matches E&I where they played 6 songs from SOE the whole tour and switched between American soul and Summer Of Love from the states to Europe. Love is all we have left was a regular and got dropped although it was only really semi-live anyway. They used Red Flag Day and Landlady in the same way they used volcano, California, the troubles and a few of the bonus tracks on SOI, sparingly.
