I can't praise either one of them enough, but I think Lift Yr. Skinny Fists is just a bit better. I prefer it for its more upbeat, uplifting nature, larger scope, and themes.
That said, F# A# ∞ is really something special. Many bands have emulated the type of vibes found on LYSF, but F# A# is unlike anything I've ever heard. That dark, eerie, yet somehow hopeful mood is what sets it apart from everything else. It may be the single most terrifying album I've ever heard (some parts are almost unlistenable for me in a dark room) but also one of the most beautiful.
