I had a friend back in the 90s who had a theory that your favorite TMBG album is the one you were listening to when you get it. When it goes from being weird but catchy, to true fandom.
For me it holds up: Lincoln.
I suppose, because it's Flood for me, but I truly love both Factory Showroom and Mink Car.
And I don't know I can rate one above the other.
Honestly, Flood is my pick for their best album but, also, I just adore Apollo 18 for the quirky songwriting.
Like some TV commercials, several of the interludes on Apollo 18 are just... not good.
I kind of like both those albums. I felt like several of the demos for Mink Car were better than album, though.
I sort of oscillate between Lincoln, Pink Album, and a random one. I guess it kind of holds, since those were my first non-Flood albums. (Flood and No! were a part of my childhood, and I liked a lot of Flood, but with Lincoln and Pink Album, that was the first time I dove deep.)
