I would say that for its time, Pink Floyd's DSOTM is comparable, and
represented a bigger breakthrough in production quality than Lifeforms
I would also say that the production quality and sound textures
of DSOTM are used to achieve a more well-defined musical statement, while
I find much of Lifeforms to be sound production for the sake of sound
production. That isn't a criticism, BTW. I love becoming absorbed
in sound textures. Lifeforms may not achieve an overall musical
statement for me, but it sure is wonderful to listen to.
