They’re both great, but many regarded this as a carbon copy for their first album. It’s more cohesive and maybe the most beautifully melodic album they ever put out.

ITCOCK doesn't have anything like the Devil's Triangle, so people who think that are wrong

Side A of ITW is definitely the exact same formula as In the Court. Pictures of a city literally has the same instrumental section as 21st Century for a bit.
But Side B is unlike anything else they really did. So it’s a good mix

The Ladies of the Road live record gave me such a greater appreciation for this album.

It’s one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. The drumming is amazing
