Good list. I never came up with a Rage list. Though they are a good choice for a disco ranking due to the length of the latter. We have already discussed many of the details in the respective album threads. I am gonna sum up the essentials here. Where we agree: Missing link best album (really not everybody thinks so!) Black in Mind in the upper third. Secrets in the upper third (!). Trapped in the upper half. 10 years in the middle. Many of their post 1996 albums in the lower half. Where we disagree: Execution guaranteed in the lower half (upper third for me). End of all days in the lower half (upper half for me). Avenger (Ger) - Prayers Of Steel in the lower third (upper third for me). Speak of the dead in the upper third (lower half for me).

Posts: 1668 Written by Redel on 26.05.2020 at 23:11 Thanks! Never an easy job to make a list like this and with such extensive disocgraphy I guess all Rage fans ranking would be different  Written by Redel on 26.05.2020 at 23:11 Execution Guaranteed and the debut are probably the ones could be higher in the list. When I add Wings of Rage I will also revisit those two. End of All Days and Prayers of Steel have their moments but as a whole they contain too much filler to end up higher. Speak of the Dead is one of those albums that came at just the right time in my life and I listened to it death. Sometimes albums like that loose their glow as time goes but this one is still an incredibly well written and fun record. The opening Suite is Victor Smolski at his best!

Posts: 2778 Written by Guib on 05.08.2023 at 08:58 Well, at least if the discographies cover a longer time span of say more than ten years I would always choose to explore them in chronological order because it helps me understand how the bands develop their style(s) over time, how much they have been influenced by the directions their styles have been drifting towards in general during specific years for instance.

I have a confession, I've never listened to a single Rage album, which is very unusual thinking about it, as I generally listen to a lot of heavy metal.
