What is your favorite and least favorite At the Gates albums?

[metal_wrath]

What are your favorite At the Gates albums??? I have been listening to Terminal Spirit Disease alot lately, this album is probably my favorite. It has the awesome riffs and the vocals are terrific, as in terrifying. I am amazed at almost everything this band has done, even Garden's of Grief. Also Slaughter of the Soul completely slays.

Discuss.

 

[Zephyrus]

I bought Slaughter of the Soul to complete the Gothenburg trilogy (The Gallery, Jester Race, SOTS), but I haven't bothered to dig much deeper.

 

[hibernal_dream]

TSD is a good mature release but I feel With Fear.... tops it and the other albums

 

[R.I.P.2]

wfiktbd has the best songs but tritsio is more consistent. sots is their worst by some way for me since I also rate tsd highly.

 

[Crimson Velvet]

"With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkess" is my personal favourite, while "Slaughter of the Soul" is obviously the worst.

 

[Skepticism]

I like all the albums, it would be very hard to pick out which one is my favourite.

 

[Matt]

I hate all of them, so it's hard to pick which one is worst.

 

[Hatebreeder]

I only own Slaughter of the Soul, but I thought it was a good album.

 

[Neurotic]

"With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkess" is my personal favourite, while "Slaughter of the Soul" is obviously the worst.

same here. altough i like Sots as well, but its just not a classic.

SOTS is my least favorite

 

[ohiogrinder]

none..I don't like melo-death.

 

[Slayed Necros]

The Red in the Sky is Ours

 

[metal_wrath]

none..I don't like melo-death.

Too bad, your missing out on one of the most imortant bands in extreme metal. period.

 

[no country for old wainds]

wfiktbd has the best songs but tritsio is more consistent.

this i largely agree with

i really really hate terminal spirit disease though, and sots obviously sucks

gardens of grief also rules, lets not forget that

 

[Hypertricosis]

sots is way over rated .i just bought it about a month ago and only listened to it twice. the instrumental on tsd is nasty but wfiktbd is my favorite by far.

 

[Hatebreeder]

none..I don't like melo-death.

It's better than grindcore.

1. the red in the sky is ours (top 3 albums EVER)
2. with fear i kiss the burning darkness
3. terminal spirit disease
4. gardens of grief
5. slaughter of the soul (painfully overrated but still listenable!)

 

[Vilden]

Best: The Red in the Sky is Ours
Worst: Slaughter of the Soul

 

[Solipsist]

my fave is definitely their best overall album The Red in the Sky is Ours (probably the 2nd best death metal album ever made), while my least fave is definitely Slaughter of the Soul (one of the most overrated metal albums from the 90's).

And I like Terminal Spirit Disease alot, it is the gothenburg album that has got what its follow-up (SOTS) was lacking alot of (that is, more developed melodies and song structures). I'd also like to add that their introductory EP, Gardens of Grief, fucking slays as well... probably the best death metal EP I can think of.
