ATTACKER

Post by Keir »

I couldn't really bring myself to respond to the "one really good album" thread, but I thought the discussion about Attacker was interesting and decided they deserve their own thread.

I had heard some Attacker before, but didn't really become interested in them until I picked up The Second Coming on a whim about 3 years ago. Perhaps it was Bob Mitchell's voice that had kept me away before but I loved that album the moment I heard it and I still play it quite often. I've since learned to like all of their albums but that is the one that will always be my favorite.

"The Second Coming" hands down.

This is a US Power Metal masterpiece in my opinion. The only real complaint that I have about the album is that it's too damn short. The songs could definitely have been longer to further expand on the great arrangements on this album. Aside from the "Reign In Blood" syndrome that this album suffers from I really have nothing bad to say about it. I was boggled and left questioning if this new j.k. guy has actually even heard the album before when commenting that "Battle At Helm's Deep" was the bands "one really good album". Don’t get me wrong, that album slays as well but the band definitely found they’re place with "The Second Coming".

10/10 album for me.

There's no use in such a poll."Second Coming" is an undeniable metal classic!No further discussion needed.Avenger's comment about the length of the album is precise,too good to be so short.

"Second coming": "Lords of thunder", "Emanon", "Zero hour" etc.

Love all of their releases. Voted "Battle" due to it's nice moody atmosphere.

Battle At Helm's Deep.


As for The Second Coming, I don't like the general sound (especially the drums), and the vocals don't turn me on.

For me Battle at Helms Deep, Second Coming and The Unknown are about the same to me. I slightly prefer the vocals on Second Coming as opposed to the others, but not by a large margin.

I have forgotten to get Soul Taker.

"Second Coming". Not even close. "Battle At Helm's Deep" does have good atmosphere and great/craptastic art, but the vocals aren't exactly amazing.

Voted for "The Second Coming". "Battle..." is OK, but vocals are a lttle annoying.

Funny, i did not listen to "The Second Coming" since years, but now i really have to withdraw my vote, because it's much better then i remembered it to be. Shame on me :oops:
