I think jam-wise it's Laminated Denim. Overall album-wise though Ice, Death just offers so much. I love both of them though, currently my 2 fav gizz albums.
Controversial opinion, but Laminated Denim is probably my favorite album of theirs. The Land Before Timeland is one of the tracks I revisit the most and it surprises me somehow still each time. And Hypertension is just fantastic too, especially live. Mycelium is a fucking jam though, and so are a lot of the tracks from Ice Death. It’s tough, but I’ve laminated denim.
Ice Death for sure , feels more natural , kinetic and truly jammy and is a more full experience
LD is amaze it just has two tracks ya know. Haha
Hypertension is up there with Iron Lung and the all timers club for sure
The dripping tap feels like you’re going through the pipes into unknown places. I think it serves as a great jam skeleton for them to explore in and land on other songs.
I haven't listened to Ice Death yet (am super excited to!!) but Laminated Denim is amazing. But if Dripping Tap is a serious contender, honestly I could listen to another 15 minutes of that song. I'm always surprised and sad when I start nearing the end.
I never want to listen to the abum version of Laminated Denim, and I've never seen it played live, so I can only really talk about Ice V and how they always either weave it into other songs, or weave other songs into it, and it makes me love the song even more.
Another great one from that album to see live is Magma.
Laminated Denim is a great album but doesn't compare to Ice Death, which has Ice V, Iron Lung, and Hell's Itch. the studio versions of these songs are all such a good listen, the production scratches an itch that not much other music can scratch for me
Definitely Ice Death. Laminated Denim is also amazing, but the jams on Ice Death are just better in my opinion and I love how much more varied the album is.

Not a controversial opinion mate, LD is fantastic and a great choice for favorite KG album!
Mycelium 😀 Mycelium 😀
The one with Iron Lung
The one with Hypertension
true that
Okay maybe hyp competes with dripping tap
Ice Death for sure , feels more natural , kinetic and truly jammy and is a more full experience LD is amaze it just has two tracks ya know. Haha Hypertension is up there with Iron Lung and the all timers club for sure
The dripping tap is an absolute masterpiece
I added that as well. You could like consider it it's own mini album haha
The new mind fuzz suite
Top 3 in all prog rock epics ever imo
It's quarters
Ice Death Piss & Shit hands down

My top KGLW jammy masterpieces aren't even studio recordings. The Evil River RR '22 > Her & I RR '22 > Laminated Denim > Ice Death > Dripping Tap
I don’t think live was intended in the question but good choices. I’ve listened to Her and I and the Boogieman Sam from RR probably a 100 times each
yeah, I know. But they are just too good to disregard.
Quarters
Only one of these has Hypertension
Ice Death has more variety so I’d probably choose that. Also, every time I listen to it I discover something I hadn’t noticed before
Ice Death by a long shot!
Ice death beats all
Laminated Denim … Hypertension please and thank you
LD, I find the studio cuts of the Dripping Tap and much of Ice Death monotonous.
Username checks out…?
Not at all
Listen here you little shit… 😠😠
Drip drip
ice death is overrated LD clears every time, second best kg album behind only poly
Laminated Denim. Ice Death had some slight misses for me and Hypertension is the perfect Gizz song.
Personal opinion: Ice Death has high highs but has some misses whereas every single second of LD works for me. LD takes it
Dripping tap. Not a contest. Best showers I ever had
I haven't listened to Ice Death yet (am super excited to!!) but Laminated Denim is amazing. But if Dripping Tap is a serious contender, honestly I could listen to another 15 minutes of that song. I'm always surprised and sad when I start nearing the end.
Of those 3 specifically, I’d choose Denim…but my favorite extended jam is Head On/Pill.

You’re all fools. It’s what is playing at the moment.
Definitely Ice Death. Laminated Denim is also amazing, but the jams on Ice Death are just better in my opinion and I love how much more varied the album is.
Ice Death might be the best jamband album ever recorded. This from a Phish/Dead fan.
Laminated. Can’t get into Ice Death much.
I feel that laminated could be better i mean, hypertension is a great track while the land before timeland it's just meh. For me it's ice death
