Band albums conundrum

[Blizzard Beast]

I'm sure we've all come across this  where  a band releases an album but sometimes the band will actually release more than one really good album and your left wondering which is my favourite one or which one just about shades it?

I've only picked a handful of albums that often crop up with that question for me but they would be

Dissection The somberlain / Storm of the lights bane.

Morbid Angel Altars /Covenant.

In the Woods Heart of the ages / Omnio.

Bathory Twilight / Hammerheart.

Satyricon Dark medievil times /Nemesis Divina.

Moonspell Wolf heart /Irreligious .

What other albums have left you struggling to pick a favourite  from  ?

[Anvil]

Iron Maiden.  Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave and Somewhere in Time. Depends on the day which one is my favourite.

Can never decide on my favourite Black Sabbath album either.  Could be one of 4 or 5.

Slayer, how do you choose between RIB, Seasons and South of Heaven? 

Death, how do you choose a favourite? 

[Eoin McLove]

Warning. I got into them with Watching from a Distance.  It utterly compelled me.  I subsequently picked up The Strength to Dream which sounded weak at the time by comparison but is the one I reach for more these days.  Now I would really struggle to choose between the two.

Strapping Young Lad with City and Alien. City I think is maybe a better album, but Alien I reckon has better individual songs. I generally find though that if I listen to one I end up sticking on the other straight after, they really complement each other perfectly

[Slaughterday]

Marduk - Those of The Unlight and Opus Nocturne. Way too close to call.

Solitude Aeturnus - Into The Depths of Sorrrow and Beyond The Crimson Horizon. I always end up playing these back to back and they fit together perfectly.

Kreator - Pleasure To Kill and Endless Pain.

[Pentagrimes]

Death, how do you choose a favourite?

By picking "Leprosy".No contest.

[Cernunnos]

Death, how do you choose a favourite?

By picking "Leprosy".No contest.

100% Leprosy winner without doubt.

mine would be :

Dissection -  the somberlain & Storm
Behemoth - the satanist & I loved you at your darkest
Sepultura -  Beneath vs Arise
Windir - 1184 vs Arntor

Can never pick a favorite from My dying bride or Bathory

[Paul keohane]

Could never pick one of the first 4 Cannibal Corpse albums.

[Weltenfeind]

Death, how do you choose a favourite?

[Juggz]

Atheist - Unquestionable Presence/Elements

Ah holy fucking Mary and Joseph... are you serious? 

[Trev]

I know most people see Unquestionable as their pinnacle, but Elements was the first album of theirs  I had and listened to it relentlessly

[ochoill]

Type o Negative - October Rust/Bloody Kisses

Was just going to post this.  It's a never ending switch around to which is the best.  Currently thinking OR but BK has been above it for years for me.

Used to be NIN The Fragile / The Downward Spiral too because of how different they are but nowadays TDS is just ahead of fragile.  Both unreal but there's few albums as well put together and leatheringly vicious as TDS.
