It's cos people have labeled it a classic by default and we've all just sort of believed it (not everyone but you get what I mean, it's widely regarded as his masterpiece.)
MMLP has the better standout tracks (Stan, Kim and Criminal) but TES is better as an album. 4 utterly pointless interludes on MMLP. 3 on TES but the latter is longer and the tracks themselves are strong. My favourite tracks on TES are Sing For The Moment, Business, White America, Soldier and Superman. There are some bangers on this CD and it had the stronger singles too IMO.
EDIT - Berzerk is better than all of his first singles from all his albums since TES. Track grows on you.
