Your FAV'S: album wise

Well since everyone's posting Anathema top lists now... :)

1. Pentecost III
2. Eternity
3. The Silent Enigma
4. Alternative 4
5. Serenades
6. A Fine Day to Exit
7. A Natural Disaster
8. Judgement

The difference between 1 and 7 is not big though, and the order may vary from time to time.
 
The problem I have with Judgement is that it's just disgustingly cheesy, but that's nothing but an opinion... again ;)
I love the title track though, and Emotional Winter's Pink Floyd rip off intro, and Forgotten Hopes is good too but it got old...
It just has a general fake atmosphere, and part of that is Dave Pybus' influence. He admitted after leaving Anathema that the stuff he wrote meant nothing to him, and he was just trying to write lyrics and music in Anathema's traditional style.
"No one seems to care anymore" Gimme a fecking break
I don't really see how Judgement is so much more cheesy than albums like A4 and Eternity.. Some of John's songs on the album are really good i.m.o. like "Don't Look Too Far", especially that part where the phrase "God bless this mess I'm in" is. He's a better songwriter than drummer (live at least..).

It's too hard a job to put all Anathema's and Kata's albums in order, but my favourites are LFDGD and Alternative 4/Judgement (can't make up my mind). About Porcupine Tree I have no idea.
