Fat Freddy Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Iced Earth have been one of my favorite bands for a LOOOOONG time so I figured I'd throw this question out to the H.H. 'banger community ... which is the best CD in their catalog? They've had a lot of different singers and musicians pass thru the ranks over the years, showcasing a lot of different styles and moods. My pick: SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, although THE GLORIOUS BURDEN is a close second and the under-rated BURNT OFFERINGS ranks highly as well. By the way, before anybody sez "You forgot 'Days of Purgatory!', I left that one off the list since it is, essentially, a compilation album of previously released material, even if it *was* doctored up in the studio with new vocals. So there. It's my poll, I make the rules here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormspell Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 This one's is very easy for me. The only IE album I can stand these days is Burnt Offerings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Nice pick Stormspell... I understand that Jon Schaffer absolutely HATES that album, but I really dig it and I guess it's more of a cult item amongst some fans. When I saw I.E. on the Horror Show tour in 2002, BURNT OFFERINGS was the only album that wasn't represented in the set, they played stuff off of everything else but skipped BURNT OFFERINGS. I was a lil' disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heaven&hell Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Something Wicked is one of the greatest metal albums of all time Glorious Burden was great also but Wicked was my introduction to Iced Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Freddy Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Ha, I got lucky cuz I was introduced to I.E. with the first album, just a little bit late. It was probably '95 or so and I found it at a Record & CD swap meet for two bucks. (! best two bucks I ever spent!) It was in a big milk crate full of death metal CDs, all still in the old long boxes, but I'd read about Iced Earth in a couple of zines so I figured I'd give them a shot. THE DARK SAGA came out a few months after that so I was well and truly hooked from then on. The rest is history!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
