Quote from: Carnage on August 29, 2025, 09:05:06 PMI know the proggy albums aren't to evryone's taste but I don't think they've released a bad one - Enslaved have an excellent 16 album run, 17 if you count Hordane's Land.


Candlemass, 13 albums, add in the EPs and it rises.

The Cure, from Boys Don't Cry* to Wish, 9 studio albums.


*It's the American release of their debut, it counts.

The Cure absolutely. Unbelievable run that might never be done again to keep that level of quality going for that many albums.

Not sold on Enslaved after Ruun but right up to that is basically a flawless run so they deserve a mention here for sure

Rush from Fly by Night up to Presto, twelve albums, fourteen years, and a range of different styles

Warrel Dane, four Sanctury albums,  seven Nevermore, and two solo albums, all great

Immolation for sure.

outside of metal, Pile might be on to it - 9th album came out last week and each one is better than the one before

Judas Priest from Sad Wings to Painkiller. I refuse to hear any Turbo & Ram It Down slander! They're feckin' great craic!

If it wasn't for Point of Entry, the run from Sad Wings to Defenders would have been a great choice.

Not the worst song in the world but the video mentally scarred me for life.

Point of Entry isn't a bad album. Better than Turbo anyway.

Great craic doesn't cut it. We need bona fide classics and they ain't it. Ya, I'd take Point of Entry over Turbo and Ram It Down.

This is far too subjective anyway, well aside from Immolation and Sabbath.

Turbo and Ram It Down break that streak, no doubting that.

Piece Of Mind breaks the 80s Maiden streak too (2 duds and tinny production).

Dead Can Dance never released a bad album.

Peace of Mind  :o ?

I've never given much time to Point of Entry actually, must rectify that.

Trouble during their original run for doomy stuff, six class albums.

YOB too actually, first one isn't up to much but they've only gotten better since imo.

I want to say Anathema up as far as Alternative 4 but I don't know if that is teenage me or middle aged me talking.

Forgot both of these! I'd go from 2112 to Hold Your Fire though. Caress of Steel is my least favourite Rush album, with Presto right behind it.

Agree wholehearted about Dane. One of the biggest talents in metal, sorely missed  :abbath:
