I've yet to go through their discog but dang, It's My Life is one of the most comfy things I've ever heard

>It's My Life
came here to write this
The Colour of Spring and It's My Life are better than Mark Hollis
LIFE'S WHAT YOU MAKEEE ITTTTTTTT
Talk Talk's music has by now lodged itself in that secure timeless category - it operates outside the sphere of the Eighties+ of its creation. It's music which continues to arrest and to reward at every play and we are so lucky to have it. Personally, I'm so grateful that they provided a musical beacon of light to see me through that Dark Age of Stock, Aitken and Waterman and 'production values'.
Haven't heard their debut. But...
TSoE > TCoS > Laughing Stock >= It's My Life
Colour of Spring and It's My Life are good
Laughing Stock a shit
SUCH A SHAYHAME
They never seem to be in /mu/
It's all great.

The Colour of Spring is as almost good as their later stuff, but The Party's Over and It's My Life are pretty mediocre compared to them.
Fun fact: Mark Hollis said Talk Talk only used synthesizers on their early albums because he couldn't afford acoustic instruments at the time. That means they could have done Spirit of Eden as early as 1982.

>people actually think SoE is better than Laughing Stock
Laughing Stock > Spirit of Eden > The Colour of Spring > Fields & Waves > Missing Pieces > Herd of Instinct > Mark Hollis > Spoor > It's My Life > Out of Season > Asides Besides > The Party's Over
Time It's Time from The Colour of Spring is a 10/10

It is.
At the end of the day Laughing Stock is just a SoE rehash with Tago Mago percussion.

Agreed.

Didn't heard the O'Rang albums, but overall I agree (except for Asides Besides that low, John Cope is one of Talk Talk best song imo).
Also, for all those who don't want to lose time listening to their 3 first albums, just listen to this amazing live that cover most of this stuff, with better quality than in studio :
