Love the debut EP and especially their anthem song but for me Metamorphose is their seminal album. A near perfect traditional metal album which rules in every single aspect, probably my favorite French metal album. I should give the last album another spin. It has been several years since I heard it. I remember being let down by it and only really liking Chasse Le Dragon, but I probably dismissed it too fast, I got it in a big batch of records where other stuff took listening priority.
Metamorphosé definitely. The MLP is great but it seems to get all the attention with the self-titled track. It's not near as strong as a whole as Metamorphosé and damn, the title track ending with the "metamorphose, metamorphose, metamorphose" hymn makes me shiver more than anything! Last week I received an original tank top from that album!
I'm not too familiar with Larmes though, I have the boxset with a poster and the CD includes a few tracks which are great (Marchand d'Hommes, Fight the Dragon...) Such a great band, one of my top favourites from heavy metal anyways.
Like them all, but voted for the EP. Which in turn reminded me I got to get the French version of Metamorphose. Seems that may make quite a difference.
As Daniel said, all 3 albums are brilliant yet so different to each other that makes it hard for me to choose,each time you ask me I could name another one. Great band with one of my top 5 vocalists. "Larmes..." is so underrated!

Most probably it will, the English version is A LOT weaker!
