I need a forum opinion here. I have Forbiddens Twisted into Form and Forbidden Evil along with Omega Wave. I also see that they have 2 other CDs out, Distortion and Green. Does anyone own these and if so what is your opinion on them. Are they worth getting or skip overs? And by skip overs I mean very weak for the band.

My favorite is "Twisted into Form' but 'Distortion..." is also good. There is a King Crimson cover on it. I'm however not that much into the new one but in fairness only listen to it a couple of times.

skip em....they play like 1 or 2 songs off them live and they are just ok from the songs I have heard online. Stick to the 3 you have.

The 3 you have are the essentials. Distortion and Green are Ok, but after seeing them twice they haven't played anything off them. That might change in Atlanta. *crosses fingers for Twisted in its entirety* .
I also never got those two albums. Not for any particular reason... I just never wound up getting them. However, at this point, fans' opinions of Distortion seem mixed, and tend to be somewhat negative towards Green, so it looks like they don't play any songs from those discs when they're opening, and only play 1 each when they have a longer set. I guess focusing primarily on Forbidden Evil, Twisted Into Form, and Omega Wave is the best plan.

Being a fan of Forbidden since the beginning, skip em, Forbidden Evil and Twisted along with the new one are all you need to know!

Also check out the Raw Evil-- Live at the Dynamo ep (I think this may come as a bonus one of the reissues) and also The Ultimate Revenge II VHS...

Distortion is too modern/groove to hold up to the greatness of the early albums. It's decent, but if it were the band's only album they'd fade away quickly. Those first two albums are the essential ones. And they will likely only focus on early and new material rather than any mid-career stuff.

Distortion and Green both suck elephant dick. Don't worry about them. Twisted Into Form and Forbidden Evil are both fucking great. Omega Wave is also a solid listen. Just don't waste yr time with D or G.

Distortion is excellent. Yes there are modern elements creeping in but overall still excellent. Green pretty much sucks. It has some moments that I can tolerate but overall it's not worth your time.

And a quickie of Gene Hoglan from the same show (The Ultimate Revenge II):

I like Distortion, but I don't love it. If you can locate the demos they did between Twisted and Distortion, they're well worth a listen, though.
I have purchased Omega Wave on iTunes and will put it into the iPod rotation tonight. The only other Forbidden album available on iTunes is Green - which everyone apparently hates. I live up on the NE side of Atlanta - anyone have ideas as to where I can score some Forbidden discs up here, since I doubt I have time to order, receive, rip, and listen before ProgPower?
