Interesting thought. I do think they share similarities; they are both distinctive, challenging double albums, but different in production style. Tusk feels more organic and diverse.

I love that Tusk is getting the love and recognition it deserves; far more so than when it was released. It's an album ahead of its time (Thanks Lindsey!). Like a fine wine, it benefited from age in order to be fully appreciated for its distinct flavors and inherent significance. It's a fine example how of hard-line judgments of the moment can sometimes turn fluid over a span of time, transforming perspective and perception.
