Mercy Falls - Greatest album ever?

[MichaelisGuido]

Mercy Falls and Scenes From a Memory, form Dream Theater are my favorite albuns for sure.

But there's something that Mercy Falls has that makes a huge difference: Tommy Karevik.

I never heard a vocalist that passes so much emotion in his voice! It fits perfectly in the album content. Tears For A Father, for example, makes me want to cry T_T

I don't know if "Mercy Falls" is the greatest album ever, but it's one of the best album ever in the progressive rock/metal genre, that's for sure.

Here's my top 5 prog metal albums. They are all amazing and i cant tell you which is number one.

Mercy Falls - Seventh Wonder
Tales From The Soul - novAct
Phlegethon - Kingcrow <-- pretty new release, check it out if you havent
Operation Mindcrime - Queensryche
Train Of Thought (althought it's tough between ToT and Images and Words.. but ive always been a fan of DT's heavier side.)

but i mean its not really fair to only have a top 5 when theres so many good albums out there

God I love this album.... DEFINITELY in the top 5 of all albums, and #1 for now! I found Seventh Wonder on YouTube actually by watching Circus Maximus videos.... and as soon as I watched the "Making of Mercy Falls" video I bought and downloaded Mercy Falls without hesitation. At first slightly skeptical as I listened to it, I quickly realized that I couldn't believe that EVERY single song was stellar. They're all keepers, every one. No album that I know of meets this litmus test.

Based on my most recent ranking of Top 5 Albums, I say they are:

1. MERCY FALLS
2. Operation Mindcrime by Queensryche (this one holds a special place and will ALWAYS be in the top 5)
3. Scenes from a Memory by Dream Theater
4. Isolate by Circus Maximus
5. Tyranny by Shadow Gallery
