the spectre within VS awaken the guardian

[einride]

this is hard as hell!

 

[ChaosLee]

The Spectre Within was my first FW record and holds a special place in my heart. But I must go with Awaken the Guardian for being the stronger album

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Awaken. This one ain't even close, dude. Spectre verges on sonic torture at times. It sounds like a hangover

 

[Krilons Resa]

Awaken The Guardian is one of the best metal albums of all time; a truly special album. Like Dick said, it's not even close.

another band ive know about forever and never bothered to listen to. looks like awaken the guardian is the place to start?

but it has "the apparition" which tops anything on awaken, easy

here is where to start

Maybe I was being a bit harsh. "Epitaph" is pretty great too

But NOTHING beats the groove riff in the middle of "The Sorceress" followed by the guitar solo. One of the most badass metal moments EVER
