On Metacritic Los Angeles has an 81 while Cosmogramma has an 86.
On RYM Los Angeles has a 3.65 while Cosmogramma has a 3.64, but when you factor in RYM's weighting algorithm Cosmogramma places at #157 while Los Angeles places at only #215 on my custom-generated electronic albums of all time chart.

So basically when you look at the numbers people like them about the same but Cosmogramma has the slight edge.

My own opinion is of course that Cosmogramma is an enormous leap forward.

i hope y'all have heard 1983 as well? it's pretty good too. though i would say the Reset EP is by far the most underrated flylo release.

1983 is good, though I don't think it's nearly as good as LA or Cosmogramma

And I made a Top 50 instead.

http://peopleslist.pitchfork.com/list/a745e559/

3 of 4 Los Campesinos! albums are in there, but there's only one in the Top 20.

Ridiculous what records aren't in the drop-down. "El Oso" I kind of understood, but no "The Shape of Punk to Come"? Blur's self titled?

Ooh like your top 10, nice inclusion of postal service too.

Surprised about your top Los campesinos choice, haven't heard the record myself, but I always thought hold on now was their best
