Sorry,but I've gotta ask.....

Both rule!!!
Silicone messiah is somthing new so thats why it may seem better. I think BNW equil to TXF in terms of maidens best album since 7th son.
 
Ill take 5 songs from SM:
Ghost in the machine
The brave
Born as a stranger
The launch
Stare at the sun
And 4 from BNW:
Wickerman
Fallen angel
Ghost of the navigator
Blood brothers

There, id be happy with that cd :)
 
I prefer Silicon Messiah.

Why?

I don't have a clue...
...but Ghost In The Machine, The Brave and Stare At The Sun certainly have something to do with it.

:grin:
 


Ghost in the machine
The brave
Born as a stranger
The launch
Stare at the sun

And 4 from BNW:
Wickerman
Fallen angel
Ghost of the navigator
Blood brothers

They are the exact songs I'd choose! Except I'd maybe be inclined to fit Dream Of Mirrors somewhere.
But those songs from Silicon Messiah are spot on! :D
 
Yeah those 5 just seem to really stand out from the rest to me sydo, if they had done a full album with the quality of those 5 songs it would have been an absolute metal classic. Im really looking forward to their next album (which they just started recording!!)
 
I know what you mean Spawn.
Silicon Messiah and Evolution are pretty good too.

I feel the weaker tracks really are The Hunger, Identity and Reach For The Horizon.
I almost never listen to Identity. Reach For The Horizon is great in places... but it doesn't seem to gel with itself.
