LITSOS/Disambiguation Define TPATO Erase Me Chasing Safety Voyeurist Honestly if I saw any ranking of Chasing Safety-TPATO I wouldn’t really have any objections. They’re so consistent at taking big swings, iterating, and killer full lengths. They never miss, it’s just a personal preference thing I think. (Voyeurist is probably a better album than Erase Me, I have a lot of fond memories of that run.)
It's too early for me to rank. I'd probably put TPATO really high cause I've been listening to it nonstop. Though, I think Voyeurist would still be my #1.

every now and then on this album, there's about 8-10 seconds that feel directly out of The Chariot's playbook and those 8-10 seconds are an absolute thrill
Ranking the most recent three albums, I’m going with the following: TPATO Erase Me (shocker but revisiting this in 2025 was a pleasant surprise) Voyeurist Pre break-up: LITSOS Disambiguating DTGL TOCS No clue on how to merge both into one list. It’s the same band, yes, but that run from DTGL to Disambiguation was unreal.
Erase Me still holds up surprisingly well. it calso ame out at a very important time in my life, so it holds a special place in my heart
I know it helped launch them a bit, but Spencer really found his screams on DTGL and the writing just got wayyy better after TOCS
After having conflicted feelings with this album originally, it’s really caught a second wind for me and I cannot stop listening to it. Someone mentioned in a previous comment but there are certain moments that I still look forward to when listening like “oh wait this is coming up, wait for it!!” and that’s really exciting. Might skip the album rankings and go into POTATO song ranking
I haven't listened to much of the pre-Spencer stuff. Lost in the Sound of Separation Disambiguation Voyeurist Define the Great Line The Place After This One They're Only Chasing Safety Erase Me
It's a fine record at best imo, personally I almost never want to listen to it. I like a handful of songs on Erase Me way more than anything on TOCS, but I also dislike several Erase Me songs whereas every song on TOCS is good enough. Also, I do not like Spencer's scream or the very thin guitar tones on TOCS.

I've still not got around to listening to it again in full. I heard it once ages ago and wasn't a big fan. I've been meaning to go back to it for a while though, I'm sure I'd appreciate it more now. I only really got into LITS last year.
Too early for me to rank. Have a feeling I’m going to prefer Voyeurist over TEPPOW in the long term because the second has too many questionable choices I’m able to get past at the moment whereas I can’t think of anything that was a significant flaw in the former. Voyeurist is also more diverse, and I feel more those ebbs and flows I crave in their music. This one just goes at 11 front to back and it’s a lot to take in at times.
DTGL LITSOS TOCS EM DIS TPATO VOY I recognize that Disambiguation is a better album than a couple I’ve ranked before it, but I rarely want to listen to it. And I honestly only ever return to Voyeurist for “Thorn” and sometimes the first two tracks.
More time with this and where it falls flat for me is in the last few songs. Up to Shame, loving it, afterwards, not so much.
