The Iced Earth thread

[Vegard Pompey]

Opeth will click eventually

I know that Opeth is the kind of music that requires a lot of time with anyone, but it just doesn't click and I doubt it ever will.

 

[Caecius]

I have The Blessed and The Damned and Something Wicked This Way Comes. I haven't really delved into their discography besides this. I'll have to check out Burnt Offerings and Night of the Stormrider I guess.

 

[Black Friday]

How good is their ST compared to the two albums after it? I've been thinking of getting it.

 

[bagdad]

I'm a pretty big fan. Something Wicked This Way Comes is fucking awesome. Really the only album I'm somewhat disappointed with is the Horror Show. Not because I think it's terrible but because it could be so much more

 

[Einherjar86]

Burnt Offerings is probably my favorite from Barlow era.

 

[unknown]

I like Shah

*cough*

on a side note, I do love the Burnt Offerings album and bits and pieces of other albums as well

 

[Lord Kur]

i really wanted to like iced earth but i think they are boring and sucky.

 

[mutantllama]

Burnt Offerings is probably my favorite from Barlow era.

what's your favorite overall IE album?

 

[Uthark]

I have Burnt Offerings and like it, but I don't think it's really worth picking any of the other albums up.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Great band. Saw them last year live with Ripper and thought they were boring. He has a great voice but is a terrible frontman, something he proved when I saw him with Yngwie Malmsteen last month. When I saw them last month with Barlow however, it was a very different band. Awesome singer and an awesome frontman. Alive In Athens is immense.

Hehe, honestly? A lot of hardcore fans will probably hate this.

I love The Glorious Burden. I think it's a great album with awesome songs and catchy melodies. And that Civil War trilogy is fucking EPIC.

 

[Uthark]

Yeah that's easily the worst IMO.

(Though I can't speak about anything beyond TGB, haven't listened)

The trilogy...I love the trilogy. The rest is, meh, ok. My favourite album would be, eh, "The Crucible Of Man" or "Something Wicked This Way Comes". They are both solid. I still have to lsiten to "Framing armageddon" I haven't been able to get it yet, that's the only album of Iced Earth that I am missing.

How did you get The Crucible Of Man already, I thought it wasn't out till next month? Torrent?

 

[waif]

The Something Wicked Trilogy on Something Wicked is the best thing I've heard from IE.

Nope, I was looking up for Metal in a store and found it, got hyped, runned home and played it. I don't know how the girls got it, they have a "music dealer".

 

[Mr. Bungle]

Damn, nice
