Crowbar recommendations

[leoos]

I've listened to a  fair bit of doom, sludge and stoner down the years but I've never listened to Crowbar. Th eOdd Fellows Rest album came on in a shuffle here and it piqued my interest

With 11 studio albums I thought I'd short circuit a month of trawling that and ask here where would be a good place to start and what would the better albums be?

[Faustus]

Yeah it's a fair bit to get through and I don't have a favourite. There are great songs on all and some filler. I repeatedly make compilations from all their albums. 'Broken Glass' is a great medium.

Man, just start with the first album Obedience thru Suffering and work your way up the years.

Sonic excess in its purest form is brilliant.  Broken glass is great and Lifesblood for the downtrodden is great too. The guitar tone and riffs are always great.

How many times did I say great? Apologies.

Odd Fellows Rest is my personal favourite, so ridiculously heavy. Then the s/t album and after that I'd just work through them chronologically.

[Eoin McLove]

Broken Glass and Odd Fellows Rest are the two I listened to a lot as a young lad. Great albums.

[OpenSores]

OFR would  be my go to album, I've also alot of time for their recent output for example Sever the Wicked Hand and The Serpent Only Lies. Glad I caught them on their last run of dates.

Broken Glass (some colossally heavy riffs on this)
Obedience Through Suffering
Odd Fellows Rest


I have enjoyed some of their later career albums though not overly familiar with some- Serpent Only Lies and Sever The Wicked Hand were good imo.

Cheers everyone. I'll probably end up listening to all of them but will forge a path through the preferences here.

[Pedrito]

Odd fellows rest
Sonic excess
Equilibrium

What I do when I'm strarting with a band is hook onto a few songs in particular and then move from there.

Planets Collide, To touch the hand of God, Dreamweaver, The Lasting Dose, Through the Ashes...all absolute power doom/metal quality.

Their cover of No Quarter is amazoballs too.

I think Sonic Excess is the album I'd push most people towards. Class band.

[Circlepit]

The start of The Lasting Dose is one of those riffs that could move earth when the whole band and vocals come in.
