Two great albums but it'll be tough for ATUB.

ATUB -- I have more of a personal connection with it than with IB.

That's far less silly, and horribly cruel to reject the mighty ATUB, but it can't rank ahead of IB at the end of the day.

ATUB is ok...but IB is better.

I wonder what Elvis would say if he could see that most of his post 1986 work is going to go out in the first round ?

Candy is dandy, but liqeur is quicker!
Gotta be IB, even though it's tight, ATUB always seemed a little disjointed as an album to me, IB runs perfectly.

IB. Altho' ATUB has the better title.
Like me, the "g" is silent.

IB for me is the better album although the story could have been different if "What Do I Do Now?" had been originally on ATUB rather than the reissue.
Who’s this kid with his mumbo jumbo?

Hey, the ATUB bonus disc was enough for my vote!
Loving this board since before When I Was Cruel.

Both rank among my favourite Elvis albums, but I think Imperial Bedroom is a more solid listen.

IB beats ATUB w/o bonus

my opinion, of course.
okay, off to vote.

Once again the contrarian, I never cared hugely much for ATUB. A decent album that would be a lot of people's career best, to me it's just so-so by EC standards. (though I love "Why Can't a Man Stand Alone?"). IB -- well, Jesus H. Christ. A candidate for all-time best album....

much stronger connection to ATUB here...I'm in the minority; I want to vanish!
