Vote Best Borknagar Album (believe it or not, this hasn't been done before.)

[Zephyrus]

I searched all 25+ pages of this forum and there has never been a single "Vote Best Album" Thread to speak of.

So what the hell, let's get the general opinion on which albums we die-hard fans currently favor.

Vote more than one if desired.



(oh, and Quintessence is the correct answer fyi)

 

[Ekkratuj]

I can never decide between Empiricism and Quintessence, so I chose both

 

[karpsmom]

I voted for Epic and Origin since they're both equally AMAZING.

 

[Sickman]

Gotta go with The Olden Domain. This album just has a certain feel to it that I really connect with. From start to finish, I think this is their most solid album. And Garm's vocals really give it that added dimension. My next choice would be Empiricism, but while it has some great songs, I don't think it flows as well as The Olden Domain.

 

[KRaEzTaIuRmED]

Quintessence

 

[My Arms, Your Purse]

The Archaic Course off COURSE!

 

[PanzerKunt]

Borknagar!
The only one I like

 

[Oceana]

olden domain or the archaic course for me

 

[Agah]

Quintessence. The Presence is Ominious and Colossus are my favourite Borknagar songs.

 

[Naglfar]

AHEM

Origin hasn't been released yet, some of us haven't heard it because we're not cheaters

 

[GONE Ridin' Hood]

I voted for Quintesscence, 'tis my all time fave Borknagar album.

And even though I've only heard "Earth imagery" form Origin, I voted for it because if all the songs are like that one it'll porbably be my new fave.



PS: Amazing that a thread like this has never been done heheee :zombie: .

Nor have I, but I doubt that it can eclipse Quintessence's metallic power.

Well, I had to go with Empiricism. I love them all, but it was the first Borknagar I ever heard and the atmosphere it creates is amazing.

Hard to choose between The Olden Domain and Quintessence, both excellent albums.

Seems Empiricism is taking the lead... I was listening to it again last night for the first time in a while. It really is an awesome album. It also has some of my favourite drumming and bass work out of all the Borknagar albums.

 

[The Bringer]

I had to go with the first release. I absolutely love it. The electronic buzz to the distortion is just awesome.

Whaaaat? I hate it! It makes the album so hard to listen to. The production is really horrible on that album.

The production is quite good compared to the likes of Darkthrone & co.

As I do all their albums, I like this one for it's so unique, just as each album is unique in Borknagar's discography.

It's still horrible.

And then let's just say that Darkthrone would be the first band I would not listen to solely based on their horrible production. It's sad to say, but when it gets to a certain point it goes past being a challenging listen to a pain in the ass.

I haven't actually heard any Darkthrone, and wouldn't mind being recommended to a good album of theirs... of course if the production is really that bad...
