Quality Comeback Albums

[Circlepit]

King Animal is beyond bland. I can't listen to oh at all, it's just drags on.
It's one of those albums you find yourself checking what song it is hoping it's nearly over.

Transgression is shite, not as bad as Digimortal though.
Neither are comeback albums I know.

[Bürggermeister]

Ultramega OK is class. The remix from a few years ago gave it a nice bit of weight, too.

A major quality comeback release arrived in the post today. Funeral - Opus Satani Excelsi

[Trev]

Ultramega OK is, well, OK. I'd forgotten King Animal even existed, completely underwhelming. Hopefully if they ever sort out the final album they were working on it'll be a more fitting one to go out on

Back on topic, Cirith Ungol - Forever Black. 30 years between releases and probably their second best album

[Pentagrimes]

Ultramega OK is grand, I picked up the reissue a couple of years ago.

Ultramega to Superunknown is all great, anything either side of that not so much, but King Animal is drivel.

Ya the remix of Ultramega Ok did wonders for it, Down on the Upside is good too but perhaps needed a bit of editing.

Cornell's first solo album is underrated too, sort of a Jeff Buckley vibe, but I reckon everything after that was an identity crisis, jumped on the supergroup train with Audioslave, made a few shite pop albums, and then back to Soundgarden when he ran out of options.

Great shout ( unless you're Carnage)

[Carnage]

They're fucking atrocious, hilariously bad! 

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Forever Black is class alright.

[Ducky]

They're fucking atrocious, hilariously bad! 

If you ever want to piss off a Cirith Ungol fan, just tell them that Tim Baker (or "your man on vocals" because who's got time to learning the names of obscure fellas) is trying to sound like Axl Rose.

[Eoin McLove]

He does. But then, so does Eric Wagner in the early days.

Why would a Cirith Ungol fan get pissed off by an admission of deafness? 

[Floss]

Black Gives Way to Blue is certainly right up there, as is the Coroner and Monotheist. 3 absolute bangers.

Amorphis - Eclipse (a comeback of sorts after a few dull albums with a new singer)
Deicide - Stench of Redemption... not a comeback but you know what i mean
FNM - Sol Invictus
Both of the Hell albums (are they comebacks?!)
Brave new World - does that count?
Unanimated - Victory in Blood
Desultory - Counting our Scars

[Circlepit]

Sol Invictus is a bag of shite.
If anyone else put it out it would have been ignored.

[John Kimble]

I don't quite agree it's a bag of shite but yeah, it probably got a bit more kudos than it rightly deserved.

King Animal was an absolute non-event, but I'd have the same feelings towards Down on the Upside as well. Just such an incredibly dull album, and a massive downer after Superunknown.

Think I'll just listen to Limo Wreck on repeat and pretend that Audioslave never happened.
