I voted for Countdown to Extinction seeing as it's one of my top 5 albums of all time. Although I did have to think carefully about Images and Words... but the second half of that album is a bit of a let down compared to the first album otherwise it may have given CTE a run for its money. Both fine albums though Wrathy and definitely worth adding to your collection.
I'd be more inclined to buy Countdown to Extinction, if only for Symphony of Destruction
At the risk of starting another argument, I doubt (after hearing SFAM) that Images and Words would be my cup of tea. I just put it on here because I know a lot of you folks like Dream Theater.
I voted twice (Hey! It's not my fault you messed up the poll options!) FOTD and Earthquakes. Obviously if I could only vote once then it would be FOTD.
It's good to know someone missed me *sniff*. 'Specially seeing it was you part of the world I was away in. I'm not sure that sentence makes sense, but I know what I mean.
The fact that I didn't post for a week didn't give a hint? And I mentioned in a post buried deep in another thread that I wouldn't be around for a while. It's not my fault that you can't pick up the unspoken signals.
Shit, lots of good albums there. NOTS, CTE, IAW...are all awesome, FOTD is great, Dehumanizer is good, and I think SOANM is rather underated, and probably my fav Fear Factory album.
The only one of these i have actually heard is Fear of the Dark
and (as i posted elsewhere) i don't really like this much so being a fan of WASP that is who i voted for.
For me,my favourite album from that year is Nirvana-Nevermind(actually i just realised this must have been released in late 1991,because the concert was in January 1992 and Smells like teen spirit had been in the charts for a few months by then)
