Thing is sure, Low End was more innovative, but MM is the beginning of the sound that classic 90's NY records followed. Yeah?

Yeah.
I was also going to mention that MM is the best and most notable high-profiile album to contain multiple/sequential "skits" all based on the same concept. Those skits, as I'm sure you all would agree, are fucking awesome, and precedent setting, though they were never really replicated or duplicated by any following album.
Conceptually, MM is more fully realized than Low End, though they're both extremely great albums.
