Own both, enjoy both, I find that the Other Side may be a better cd by writing, but Mega feels more like Nektar by style. I hear a lot more Roy influenced music in that one. Other Side sounds a bit less like the band. Thoughts? Opinions?

"Angels die, redemption rages
The age of man on an empty page
And chances are
This will save your soul or break it forever "
I only have "The Other Side" and really enjoy it. I have been curious about the "other" Nektar's album, but never got it.
I think that "The Other Side" is way better than " Megalomania" in every respect , including by style , not even close in my opinion.
I've spun The Other Side a couple of times and it really has that Nektar vibe for me. Haven't bothered with the "other" Nektar. Perhaps someone will convince me that that's a mistake. (He said, tossing a gauntlet casually at the ground)
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Other Side is to me a good, legit Nektar album, with a clear connection to the Roye era. They worked hard and it holds up well with the other reunion-era albums. Megalomania has its moments but it's hard to even hear it as Nektar.
