The new ICED EARTH material got a better response than the old material.
People went apeshit for everything off the new one.
The album is EASILY their best since SOMETHING WICKED.
They did play the entire Dante's Inferno which was killer.

Do you need a trip down memory lane???????????
The runner up would of course be HORROR SHOW which is a great album, but I would still take DYSTOPIA.
Glorious Burden would have been an acceptable release for any other band, but not for ICED EARTH at THAT point in time.
Don't get me started on FRAMING ARMAGEDDON or CRUCIBLE OF MAN.

Don't take this as a knock, but I take it you got into IE with Glorious Burden then? Sure, there are some great tunes on there, but just as much filler. That album was also the beginning of Schafer's recycling period.
HS terrible??? Wow, to each their own, but that's not something you hear everyday.
I honestly think too what makes DYSTOPIA great is that its a return to a straight album, and not all the unnecessary filler (and true filler, not just filler as in lame songs or whatever) that comprised so much of FRAMING and CRUCIBLE.
Finally, THE ANTHEM live was just as chilling as Blind Guardian performing NIGHTFALL or Maiden performing FEAR OF THE DARK. Just brilliant.
I was skeptical to see if anyone would even give a rat's ass about Iced Earth post-Stu. It wasn't until we got booked at MoJoes that I chose to finally check it out. I am glad I did. Apparently more and more people got the memo as this was the best IE turnout in Chicago since Powerfest. Also, all the reviews from this tour have been very positive.
Ok, once again, just my opinion. I am indeed a fan again.

We all know the best Iced Earth album (and only one to feature vocalist John Greely) is Night of the Stormrider. And I think Dystopia isn't bad at all, definitely their best album in a long long time.
Bob, those are 2 excellent choices from Stormspell, I got those as soon as they came out.

Lee, that's not what I meant.
I meant is that the timeframe when you got into Iced Earth.
You were not into IE when Burnt Offerings came out.

Sorry,
I like epic songwriting.
IE perfected it with the DARK SAGA.
I like Iced Earth and Stormrider, but Schafer really showcased his songwriting capabilities with the DARK SAGA.
Don't like it? Bite it! ha!

Horrow Show is my favorite. Got through a full listen of the new one and it is right up there with the best.

I agree with Lee. Glorious Burden is a better album, but for me I think a lot of it is due to the Gettysburg trilogy as I love that grouping of songs. Dystopia would be second after Something Wicked in my opinion. I like Horror Show, but it just doesn't grab me like the others do.

I'd rank my top 3 IE albums as Something Wicked/Dystopia/Glorious Burden, maybe Dark Saga and Burnt Offerings mixed in there as well, depending on which ones I'm listening to at the time.
As for new tunes:
Adrenaline Mob - Omerta
Soulfly - Enslaved
Burn the Priest - s/t

Did anyone see that the first 3 Dio albums have been released in deluxe remastered 2 CD editions. I did pick up a rock candy remaster of Holy Diver so I kinda want to get The Last in Line. Bonus tracks are all live cuts.

Rock Candy also did the first Praying Mantis album as well. I think it is that label. But worth getting.

I enjoy it. I think I like the S/T a little better (found it for $4 used; what a deal!), but I've only listened to the newer one 2 or 3 times, but they're both fantastic.
*checks the package*
Yes indeed, it is the EARACHE pressing.
