Even though it's godawful, I think Piper should be double-bold and Animals be regular bold.

eh? Justify your blasphemous words!

You're controversial, we get it, shut the fuck up and swallow another safety pin.

And don't close it this time.

Which ones?



You're controversial, I'm outspoken.

Outspokenly stupid.

Yeah, I like seeing Animals double-bold.

This is a test case for the Orange bolding of a large discography. Thoughts?

I feel I should either de-red one of the two I just redded to have at least 2 regular bolds.

what great body of work!!

Darkside Of The Moon
Wish You Were Here
Animals
The Wall
A Sourceful Of Secrets
Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
A Momentary Lapse Of Reason

I think what we have is pretty spot on.

Seeing Meddle on a par with The Wall just doesn't seem right.

yeah, true meddle is a lot better than the wall

Nah I can definitely see them on the same tier. Both great in their own ways.

their next most acclaimed album is apparently Saucerful of Secrets. Should I give that a regular bold too?
