Which Anathema do you prefer?

Erm.... it is, but there's still some slippery fiction in it. Maybe I read it too young to appreciate it.
 
every album from silent enigma to AND were great and very different one from another, so you cannot compare them so easily. the sound on their last 2(AFDTE and AND) are way better than any of the others, but are not so powerful as alternative or judgement. what ahs been won on the last 2 albums, in my opinion, is the great keyboard playing, especialy on AND, and this gave anathema a different approach. I love all their albums eversince Silent Enigma. there isn't a single song i skip on their albums (unlike others here) and i like the way the band has evolved since the early years. hope they will keep it up.
