The story's fine. But the music's pretty lacking. If you look at it from a songwriting perspective, there's a few great songs, and a lot of filler (whereas an album like Dark Side of the Moon is almost all great songs). I may actually prefer watching the movie version than listening to the whole album, as it seems to do the concepts in the story more justice.
Alright, I'll add those two to my already boundless to-hear/buy list.
Excellent... *rubs hands together*

no you are both wrong. that honour belongs to either Rush or Black Sabbath.

That's interesting. Rush is definitely up there for just their early material alone.

Day of Reckoning is better than Relentless imo. Burning Saviour is one of the most addictive songs I've ever listened to. I'm surprised DarkBliss didn't list Cadaver In Pains as one of his 10 though .... Also whilst MP's selection didn't surprise me, it would be one intense desert island experience with that list.
1. At the Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours
2. Slayer - Show No Mercy
3. Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
4. Judas Priest - Sad Wings of Destiny
5. Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
6. Agalloch - Pale Folklore
7. Candlemass - Epicus Doomicus Metallicus
8. Danzig - Danzig II, Lucifuge
9. Hammers of Misfortune - The Locust Years
10. Guns N' Roses - Appetite for Destruction

Day of Reckoning is good, but it's the only Pentagram album I have. I need to get more of the old school doom.
Rush is the band that instantly sprung to my mind. With the exception of "Caress Of Steel" (which wasn't bad), every album released from their S/T through Moving Pictures is fucking phenomenal.
Zephyrus
Tyrants and Slaves
I love Day of Reckoning, especially "Broken Vows". I really need to track down a copy of Relentless.
Day of reckoning is easily the highlight of pentagram's long career. There's just too much filler on the one before and after it to compete. Relentless/Be forewarned are both awesome, but they don't come close to DOR.
Anyways, heres a list of 10 albums i'd take at this moment
pentagram - day of reckoning
judas priest - stained class
maiden - piece of mind
cyclone - inferior to none
pariah - blaze of obscurity
heathen - victims of deception
tyr - eric the red
deathrow - deception ignored
candlemass - tales of creation ( blow me)
slough feg - traveller

i really like COS... fountain of lamneth is great... the first two are kinda uneven for me
I like it, it just seems a but too inconsistent for me though. Some sections of the album are phenomenal, but others seem to just plod on without any significance.
The first two albums aren't nearly as good as albums like "2112" or "A Farewell To Kings", but I still enjoy them more than almost any other hard rock album of that time.

@byrne: Cadaver is on the list, though.
My interest in DM is starting to wane little by little, but that album, will most likely remain as one of the few survivors of my DM phase.
Relentless(s/t) and day of reckoning are equally good. I still prefere s/t because of the songs Death Row,Sign of The Wolf, and The Ghoul which are hands down their best songs period. Death Row is depressing also.
