Albums you always come back to.

[satan 59]

We all love the latest one we've bought (usually), play it to death then move onto the next one. I have a few that I go back to time and time again. Do you? and what are they? Mine are:- The Nephilim - Zoon David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust Draconian - A Rose For The Apocalypse Rammstein - Reise Reise The Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always There are more but I'm always coming back to these.

Re: Albums you always come back to. 'Renegade' by HammerFall, 'Dying Vine' by Aletheian 'Damage Done' by Dark Tranquillity and 'Fallen Sanctuary' by Serenity. I generally don't love one album that much - usually about five songs from one, three from another, so I like the band but not one album in particular. I'll probably be coming back to 'Progress of A New Decline' by Gorod since their last album isn't quite as good as the previous two albums.

Re: Albums you always come back to. oh damn this will be hard ok mine are: Judas Priest - Painkiller Black Sabbath - Heaven And Hell Iron Maiden - Powerslave Megadeth - Peace Sells...But Who's Buying? and lastly Slayer - Hell Awaits I have a ton of other favourites but I always come back to these

Re: Albums you always come back to. For the longest time the two albums I couldn't get enough of were Iron Maiden's 7th Son and At the Gates Slaughter. I'd actually have to hide these records a few days prior to buying new ones because if I saw them I'd have the overwhelming need to listen to them and nothing else. Even after buying an anticipated new release there were times I'd put whatever I had just purchased down to listen to the aforementioned. Thankfully I've moved past that point in my life. As far as albums I go back too in between new releases the following are the biggest in an endless list: Anathema - Pentecost III Anathema - Eternity Angra - Rebirth Blind Guardian - Follow the Blind Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding Cannibal Corpse - Gallery of Suicide Carcass - Heartwork Iron Maiden - Fear of the Dark Iron Maiden - The X-Factor Lacuna Coil - Unleashed Memories Paradise Lost - Icon Paradise Lost - Draconian Times Morgion - Cloaked by Ages, Crowned in Earth My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans Novembers Doom - The Fading Type O Negative - October Rust Those are just the first few that come to mind. I do listen to my back catalog frequently enough though. I feel that 90% of what I own has aged well. Those that haven't I'm in the process of selling/trading to whomever will take them.

Re: Albums you always come back to. There aren't too many albums I can listen to over and over again, regardless of how much I love them, I just need to have a great deal of variety to my listening. This helps me to never get burned out on albums from overlistening, and when I do play something, it's almost always refreshing and enjoyable. I listen to my whole collection and try not to prioritize one album over another in the rotation, because it has to be pretty enjoyable to me for me to own it, and I don't see a point in owning a ton of albums to only listen to a few of them.

Re: Albums you always come back to. Sometimes it's so tempting to just listen to one album over and over again but its possibly better to keep a variety Scar Symmetry - Holographic Universe Lamb of God - Ashes of the Wake Machine Head - Through the Ashes of Empires Machine head - The Blackening In Flames - Come Clarity Metallica - Master of Puppets Soilwork - Stabbing the Drama Opeth - Blackwater Park Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet?

Re: Albums you always come back to. Knew I'd missed one out as soon as I picked it up again this morning, then discovered it's on your list NTNR. Paradise Lost - Draconian Times

[NTNR]

Re: Albums you always come back to. There's just something about that album that I can't get over. I love it to death. In fact it's been in my CD case for about 3 months and was only recently replaced by the new PL album. I like it btw, but it's too processed. Nick's vocals are better than they've been in years but still no match for Draconian Times and back.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Re: Albums you always come back to. so Draconian Times will be a good starting point for Paradise Lost then? oh yeah missed something from my list as well Nevertanezra - NTNR LOVE THAT ALBUM

I'm glad you like our DOOM! As far as PL goes I'd say 'Icon' is probably the best place to start.

[satan 59]

Albums you always come back to. Icon is a good choice.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Re: Albums you always come back to. thanks for the tip, I'll be checking it out soonish

[BlutAusNerd]

Re: Albums you always come back to. I like the first 3 PL albums better than Icon, but it's probably still a good starting place.

Re: Albums you always come back to. some killer albums in that list unfortunately not all of them are, immense hatred of twisted sister and soad, can't believe I left UFO off my list that is one of my favourite albums

[NTNR]

Re: Albums you always come back to.

some killer albums in that list unfortunately not all of them are' date=' immense hatred of twisted sister and soad, can't believe I left UFO off my list that is one of my favourite albums[/quote'] I used to like Twisted Sister but a mixture of Dee's over exposure and the radios incessant playing of their two big hits killed that band for me.

[satan 59]

Albums you always come back to. And now he's doing some music from Broadway shows

[RelentlessOblivion]

Re: Albums you always come back to. ok that does it dee snider must DIE, all glamsters should die but especially him, hmmm think I over did it a bit on the coffee today

[BlutAusNerd]

Re: Albums you always come back to. One of the most annoying things about Twisted Sister is that they had the potential to be a good band, but squandered it trying to be commercial. Songs like Under the Blade and Burn In Hell are actually pretty good, but they moved to focusing too heavily on their image and writing poppy songs, whereas bands like Poison clearly had no songwriting talent at any point in their career, so I can't really consider it a loss.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Re: Albums you always come back to. wait doesn't NTNR actually like poison? I remember he mentioned that on here somewhere before

[BlutAusNerd]

Re: Albums you always come back to. Yep, as well as other glam garbage like Warrant.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Re: Albums you always come back to. and yet he decided to be in a doom/death band, probably because he's too ugly to be glam lol

[NTNR]

Re: Albums you always come back to.

and yet he decided to be in a doom/death band' date=' probably because he's too ugly to be glam lol[/quote'] I do enjoy Glam Metal/Rock. What of it? As far as looks go, I've got a face for radio and a voice for silent movies.

Re: Albums you always come back to.

And now he's doing some music from Broadway shows

Eric Adams (Manowar's vocalist) does Broadway musicals in between Manowar albums. He also makes bow hunting videos. I call that a conflict of interests.

Re: Albums you always come back to. No doubt at all that TS blew it-but I think they were a different 'glam' to the others. They were almost left-overs from the original '70s glam. But christ were they good live. And still are! Here's another very underrated album I always come back to- Deep Purple - Purpendicular Possibly their most underrated album?
