Favorite Debut Albums

You're like their biggest fan here, I have no idea how you couldn't know that that's their SECOND album. And only the song "Falling" is very good.
:lol:What a boner move on my part. Stoned as hell when I posted that. I actually do have Scent of A Dream but totally forgot about it cause all I listen to is Circadian Rhythm. So why is "Falling" the only good song off the album and what did you dislike about the album?
Point of No Return & Switch to Red are 2 masterfully written songs.
 
W.A.S.P. - WASP
Katatonia - Dance of December Souls
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas
 
Asphyx - The Rack
Disembowelment - Transcendance Into The Peripheral
Incantation - Onward To Golgotha
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Dismember - Like An Everflowing Stream
Grave - Into The Grave
Reverend Bizarre - In The Rectory Of The Bizarre Reverend
Cathedral - Forest Of Equilibirium
Celtic Frost - Morbid Tales

Well, OK I was harsh on it. It's not that I dislike it, it's that I think Falling completely encompasses the band's sound in ONE amazingly fantastically super-kickass song. It's hard for them to follow that up, considering it's the second track...

Fair nuff' but still...give it a few more spins and the fucker will grow and grow on ya'. Give the song "Switch to Red" a spin. Its got a uplifting folky vibe to it, yet brootal.
 
Shit, there's way too many to list. These come to mind:

Demigod - Slumber of Sullen Eyes
Necrophobic - The Nocturnal Silence
Merciless - The Awakening
Sacramentum - Far Away From the Sun
Varathron - His Majesty at the Swamp
Dismember - Like an Everflowing Stream
Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus
Massacra - Final Holocaust
Immolation - Dawn of Possession
Incantation - Onward to Golgotha
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness
Sarcófago - I.N.R.I
Exodus - Bonded By Blood

Yes! That would pretty much be my list plus:

Adramelech - Psychostasia
Argentum - Ad Interitum Funebrarum
Eucharist - A Velvet Creation
Phlebotomized - Immense, Intense, Suspense
Sabbat - History of a Time to Come
 
Amon Amarth - Once Sent From The Golden Hall
Wintersun - Wintersun
Cult Of Luna - Cult Of Luna
Agalloch - Pale Folklore
Garden Of Shadows - Heart Of The Corona
Red Sparowes - At The Soundless Dawn
 
Effigy is a great album, my favourite Suffocation album however is definitely their much underrated release last year. No one does first gear like Suffocation, playing slow they are unequaled in death metal.
