Forest of Equilibrium is their best, followed by The Ethereal Mirror. The rest of their material is pretty crappy.

ALL and i mean A L L Cathedral albums fuckin RULE AND SLAY , from the pure and slow DOOM of Forest Of Equilibrium , to the most groovy moments of Caravan Beyond Redemption and Nineth Coming
saw them performing live for the third time 3 weeks ago, and they gave a PERFECT performance, Lee Dorrian is a totally wild hippie-killer frontamn
this band is a real RIFF MACHINE, and my favourite albums are Carnival Bizzare and The Ethereal Mirror
p.s. ALSO they are the ONLY band that doesnt just say that nu "metal" sucks, but they also have longsleeve shirts with "DEATH TO NU METAL" written on their backs

I've got everything from them except Statik Majik, and all of the releases offer something worthwhile. I especially enjoy The VIIth COming, Ethereal Mirror, and Caravan Beyond Redemption. Hopkins is their best EP.
I've only got Forest of Equilibrium, The Ethereal Mirror, and the Soul Sacrifice EP. I used to like them a lot more than I do now.
Cathedral are one of my favourite bands of all time, Lee Dorian is one of the greatest metal vocalists ever!
I'd recommend all of their releases except for their latest which doesn't do much for me.

Cathedral are ok, but not great IMO. Their sound is generally too upbeat and happy for me, though the only CDs of theirs I have are The Carnival Bizarre and The Ethereal Mirror.

I'm more into their groovy albums that have some leanings towards stoner rock from the middle of their career, though the two last ones aren't bad either. Their first two sound too dated for me.

They started great, went in and out of greatness during the 1990s, and still I think Endtyme is the finest grand summary of all their ideas. Great crushing record from a strangely deluded yet masterful band.
Cathedral are bloody awesome.
"Endtyme" is my favorite record of theirs, and one of the heaviest records ever recorded. Doomsters must seek this out. I have VIIth Coming too, and I like it more than most...but I think Ian's summation (is that a word?) is best, Endtyme is the best summary of their ideas. It's amazingly horrific.
Of the groovier stuff, "Carnival Bizarre" is my favorite, although "Ethereal Mirror" is very, very good too.

I'm also a big proponent of their VHS/DVD video collection: for a band that never amounted to anything saleswise in America, it blows me away that they've consistently had a video budget for every album. The clip for "Hopkins" uses footage from Conqueror Worm and Mark of the Devil and is very inspiring.
