I wouldn't take anything, cos assuming I really was going to be stranded on an island I'd start hating whatever I took after listening to them 1 million times and it just being those same 10 records...

I wouldn't want any records with me either. I'd want to get the frig out of there. Anyone read the Stephen King story "Survivor Type"?

Don;t be so harsh. It was released in 1980, where the next didn't come out until '84, of course there is going to be a big difference in sound. Metal was a lot more musically established 4 years later.
Frost and Fire is the best Cirith Ungol album of course. Or at least very close.

I know some people really like the album and I guess I'm happy for you. To me it's just like Judas Priest's "Rocka Rolla" or Manilla Road's "Invasion" - a somewhat premature debut that has little in common with later efforts, at best a sign of greater things to come.

Both classics as well.

My Cirith Ungol top 3:

Frost And Fire
King Of The Dead
Servants Of Chaos CD1

I also think 'Frost And Fire' is very weak, perhaps two good songs. Being released in ´80 isn't much of an excuse, 'Sad wings of Destiny' was released in ´76.

it's a bit hard to compare Cirith Ungol to Cirith Ungol here imo. 'Frost and Fire' is 70s Hard Rock that gets called for Heavy Metal because the band went down that path. 'King of the Dead' is a very different band playing.

And I'd say that "Sad Wings Of Destiny" is more Hard Rock then Metal.

I always kinda figured Tom Hanks' taste wasn't all that good. Good to see my suspicion confirmed.
