IMO it's one of their best albums. Songs like "Enemy Within" and "Burning Angel" are awesome !

Awesome, just awesome

Definitely the best album with Angela on vocals, I love every song on this one! xD

Don't forget "Rise of the Tyrant". This album contains great songs with nice riffs and solos !

That album does have some really great songs on it! But it has a couple of songs that aren't that great, so I like Wages more because I think every song on that one is awesome.

The first half of 'Wages of Sin' is absolutely brilliant-heavy riffage, beautifully handled solos, and enough aggression to make even the mellowest person want to rip someone's head off. However, from track 8 onwards, it seems as if the band slightly lose their creativity and originality, and as 'behind the smile' and disappointingly bland closer 'lament of a mortal soul' prove, the level of quality set by those first 7 songs couldn't be matched. Nonetheless, this serves as a great modern metal album, if only because the guitar work is top notch. I wouldn't say it's their best, but i'd certainly say it's their most successful.

'Shadows And Dust' is easily one of the best and most memorable tracks on this record if you ask me.

I like that song, but i don't think it's as effective as the first half of the album to be honest.

They should play this album in its entirety and releasing it on DVD, just an idea.

Their best IMO.

This is indeed their best album. And it's still mediocre at best...

Doomsday Machine is their best, pal.

Couldn't care less to be honest. I don't like any of their stuff (anymore).

I could never get into this album, I find it a little boring

Never liked Doomsday Machine, It as some good titles such as Nemesis and My Apocalypse but I can't get into it and I don't know why. Wages of Sin is among my favourites AE albums though.

This the thing we need from an original band. Perfect drumming,great riffs and solos,good production.Unlike the previous record with Johan, Angela's Vocal parts are awesome and completely dominent. It seems they finally found their unique style in this record.Burning Angel is a masterpiece to think about .Also a lot of more ideas in solos.

This is my third favorite from them, definitely less good than the previous one but Angela kills it on the vocals, only problem is that some songs are quite weak such as "behind the smile" which I absolutely despise. Otherwise, some pretty great tracks can be found here like "Ravenous" which is a timeless arch enemy classic, "web of lies" and "dead bury their dead"

I like this album alot, not the girl too much but the music compensate. 8.5/10 the best post 90's record.
