Your Favorite Iced Earth Album?

What's your favorite Iced Earth album? I love Horror Show. And SWTWC comes in at a close second.

I love Horror Show due to the content of the album. I'm a fan of horror and the music is just fantastic. Matt Barlow's vocals are just breath taking.

Yours?

If you look at iced earth albums you must consider all the changes the band went trough . Starting with the self tittle album with great story telling . Burnt Offerings offered the introduction to Matt with complex solos and epic story telling for example Dante's Inferno, Last December, Diary and Burnt Offerings. Then we get to Dark Saga with dark lyrics and fast pace music and best vocals done by Matt to date . This album changed the feel of the bands music . Now we get to SWTWC that has my favorite song on it Disciples of the lie. But for my money Dark Saga is the best album with songs like Violate, The Hunter, The Last Laugh and The Suffering at the end .
Dante

hmm it's really hard... I like 'em all.
But i guess i choose Horror Show since it's a combination of history and horror Wink
Sandra - Dark Saga -

That's a tough question...
I'd have to say Burnt Offerings or SWTWC, but I also love The Dark Saga..  Confused

I think it's a good album. It's not as bad as most people say it is.

The Gettysburg Trilogy is awesome (I'd love to hear Barlow on it), but the other songs somewhat lacks...

I like Decleration Day, When the Eagle Cries, The Reckoning, and Red Baron Blue Max. The rest are just kind of bland...

Valley Forge is not "bland" in the least bit... it is arguably the best song on the album. And what about Greenface?

Ok Valley Forge and Greenface are two really good songs, but i still don't think those songs tops other IE songs like; Damien, Order Of The Rose, Watching Over Me and Dante's Inferno.

I'm not a big fan of Valley Forge. Green Face has grown on me a bit. Attila isn't bad either.

It's very hard to choose my favorite, since i like all IE albums! every album is great, or at least good imo Smile
Tainted Innocence

horror show and something wicked this way comes.

Am I in the minority among fans? Something Wicked is My FAVE, but I can't get into Horror Show. Just don't like these concepts and the music that goes with them.

Is there a thread to compare IE albums sales? Curious what fans have thought over the years.
the one true seeker

Today it would have to be Burnt offerings.

But that will most likely change. I'm sure that when The Crucible of Man is released that will be my favorite. at least for a while.

My favourite Iced Earth release is The Dark Saga : I know all songs of this fuckin' CD ... They are juste sublime Very Happy the bad point of this record is just the second song : I Die For You ...
I like very well Night Of The Stormrider too Smile
Black_Sheep

Hard question. Probably Something Wicked.. and Alive In Athens.

Uuuuh ! Alive in Athens is the best album, it's sure because there are the very best song in live Very Happy but the best studio release ... It's a very hard question ...
Tainted Innocence

the main reason i choose horror show is the fact it is the album that got me into IE
DantesInferno

Hard to choose between Burnt Offerings/Dark Saga/SWTWC
ragnew

At the moment my favorite album would be Framing Armageddon, with Something Wicked This Way Comes a close second.

Though once The Crucible of Man is released, I'm sure that'll be easily jumping to the top spot! I cannot wait for that to be released!

Totally agree. Nots is awesome. Only i wish that they could re-record it with better sound and Matt on vocals
The Wicked One

all we really need is studio recordings of Before the Vision, Path I Choose, Mystical End

And a studio version of "Curse The Sky" to have a complete Barlow version of the first album!

Why is that?

i hate downloading music because of poor quality,
like i downloaded one song and the volume would change throughout the song.

abominae1

My favorite without question is SWTWC.  Hopefully The Crucible of Man will change that. A close second is Horror Show , then Burnt Offerings.

my bro downloaded a few COF albums for me and they didn't turn out too too bad...
Black_Sheep

Many people here (me included) seem to like "Horror Show" very much. But overall speaking, from what i have heard many people consider it as the worst IE album  Shocked
Tainted Innocence

it was the least passionate but must complex and dark album,
jon even said it lacked passion.

Not even close, the worst is TGB.Horror Show rules. I wish they would play more songs live off of it.
Black_Sheep

Iced Earth has never released a bad album if you ask me... Every album is great. So it's very hard to say which album is their best and which is the worst.

No you are mistaken!
Diary is the one that Cauldron made!
You know that if you people made some research and some searches you would probably find Cauldrons official MySpace.

Night of the Stormrider, with The Dark Saga and Burnt Offerings close behind.

But I think all Iced Earth records are great, so my favourite can change from time to time. Not so long ago I had The Glorious Burden as my favourite for a short time.
KitCorpse

My favorite is The Dark Saga. The first time I listened to that beast it won me over in a heartbeat. It stands out as my all time favorite.
Feaněs

Well so fucking hard to say....

I'll guess I have to choose between Alive in Athens (cause it is the best live album of all times), Stormrider (cause it holds my favourite Iced Earth song) and the Sometthing Wicked this Way comes.

I'll take Alive in Athens, cause all the good songs(well not ALL, but many) are on it, and it is the greatest live album, ever taken by a band...
NightCrawler

Difficult choice.

I love Something Wicked This Way Comes (imo one of the best metal albums ever) , but now, I am starting to listen to their Stormrider cd more often, and I like it better with every listening. Twisted Evil

Can't really choose, cause I like all their albums. (expect The Dark Sage, don't know why, but I never got into that one)

I don't blame him, it's not thier most enjoyable album.
Kanadwen

Oooooo! 3 to 1! Who else wants to back Dark Saga?
Aggelos Poneros

Wtf? Every IE album rocks.
(except Framing Armaggedon O.o I simply don't like that album)
Vengeance

Well I like all the albums from IE except Glorious Burden and Framing Armageddon because Ripper's on vocals... I know I will listen them when Barlow will sing them, like Settian Massacre and The Clouding on the I Walk Among You single...
Feaněs

Well I like DARK SAGA, THE GLORIUS BURDEN and FRAMING ARMAGEDDON too...

Glorious Burden is icky in some parts (do you like Gettysburg?), but has some good songs, not IE's best though. Framing Armageddon on the other hand, FANTASTIC album! Wink
Grave

Alive in athens is best livealbum i've ever heard.

Night of the stormrider is my favorite and most listened studioalbum. Nowadays Glorious Burden have been in playlist and i liked it very much. Good tunes and Ripper's vocal is perfect for the album.

IMO IE have never made weak album (haven't listened newest yet)
Gauntlet

I would have to say Burnt Offerings is my favorite because it was the first IE cd I listened to.

A very close second would be Something Wicked This Way Comes.
