New Fan Of DT....Need Album Suggestions

[chubbler108]

I got character when it came out and ive loved it since then, but i just thought to myself *why the fuck have i waited this long before getting the rest of their albums??*. Since i obviously know nothing about DT, could you guys give me a list of what the best DT albums are in order? (including character, just so i can see how it ranks to other dt albums).

Everyone here will give you a different one, but mine is as follows:
The Gallery
Of Chaos and Eternal Night EP
Skydancer
Haven
The Minds I
Projector
Character
Damage Done

Everyone here will give you a different one

^ What he said.

Mine:

The gallery
The mind's i
Haven
Damage done
Character
Projector
Exposures
Skydancer
Lost to apathy
Enter suicidal angels
Of chaos and eternal night
Enfeebled Earth
Trail of life decayed
A moonclad reflection

Depends on what you like, really. If you loved "Character", chances are you'll love "Damage" (and, of course, "Lost") too. If you're more into romantic stuff, i suggest "The gallery", "The mind's i" and "Skydancer". If you're a death/violence/growling fan, the demos from 1989-1992 will suit you fine. Finally, if you'd rather hear the more melodic, mellower, softer DT (with clean vocals! ) then "Projector" is for you. You could think of "Exposures" as some kind of 1999-2002 compilation plus the 1991 and 1992 demos and a couple of songs from 1995-1997.

For me it'd be more something like

The Gallery
The Mind's I
Skydancer
Of Chaos and Eternal Night
Character
Projector
Damage Done
Haven

But I believe all you can do is listen to them all. DT has been doing so many different things since their early days. It's actually impossible to say "this album is superior to that one" Since they're all so different!

 

[Magrathean]

Yes, but you could compare "Trail" to "Moonclad", "Skydancer" to "Of chaos" or "Damage" to "Character", as they are somewhat similar in several ways.

 

[RampageSword]

@UndoControl : You got that right. These albums do present a similar sound but I think that there is a lesser resemblance between "Character" and "Damage" than with the other similarities you've pointed out.

 

[Magrathean]

True. But "Damage" leans more towards "Character" than towards "Haven", don't you think?

 

[RampageSword]

Definitely. But also there's a continuity from "Projector" to "Haven".

 

[fab]

"the gallery" for sure

 

[Magrathean]

Rampage: Maybe... perhaps in heavier "Projector" songs like "On your time" or "Nether" or in slower, mellower "Haven" songs like "Emptier still".

 

[Kutryer]

I was wondering what albums I should get or not get in DT's stash. Any recommendations?

 

[marduk1507]

Heh, you must be joking mate, right?

 

[Magrathean]

In case you're not, there's two possibilities:

1. Get everything they've ever put out.

2. Get all the full-length albums, as they're all different and i can't really say "this one's better" if i don't know your taste.

 

[The Bringer]

LOL I just made a thread asking the same thing... I was playing "complete idiot" by not searching first.

Anyways, The Gallery is awesome and so is Character. I think I'm going to check out Damage Done next.

 

[Magrathean]

Don't forget "The mind's i" and "Haven".

 

[The Bringer]

Oh I won't miss any of them.

 

[Magrathean]

And remember to listen to all the bonustracks too.

 

[La Rocque]

I recommended Exposures, I play disc2 more than any other DT cd
plus disc1 has many good songs -

 

[MegustaMucho]

what is the best DT cd?

 

[Siren]

They're all good. The best cd is a matter of personal taste.

It's probably 'The Gallery'.
