Favourite album

[keyboardistmatt]

Contagion is their worst effort. IMO

HUH?

[Proglady]

I love them all, but my faves are The Visitor and Immortal?

HUH?

Well, that's the Voyager, ya know....

[keyboardistmatt]

I'm sorry but I had to look at that twice!

Nonetheless, everybody has an opinion!

That's also the way most of Voyager's posts make me feel :|

Contagion and Pepper's Ghost - I can't choose between them. Although Contagion is getting more listens at the moment.

I really like them all, but I suppose if I had to pick a favorite album, it would have to be Immortal. Maybe my decision is based on the fact that, this was the first album I purchased, which led me into buying the lot. How I got to hear of Arena in the first place, was really down to the Classic Rock Magazine which usd to be accompanied with a CD. It was on those CD's I heard The Butterfly Man and Chosen, which totally blew my mind at the time, and it did not take much persuasion to buy the album. From this album I set out buying the back catologue and their present albums, and I'm totally hooked.

Out of the 2 concept albums The Visitor and Contagion. I would have to go for The Visitor. Because in my belief it's more structured and put together well. But as I said at the beginning... I really like them all. They have not made a bad album to date, and long may they continue bringing us such great music, by real clever musicians and writers. Which is what i'm all for.

My favourite is untill now; The Visitor. What a great album....Also the rest is great, and maybe my thoughts will change in the future, but as i say in my "welcome" word, I haven't heard all the albums allready. Contagion is also very good, and Songs of the Lion cage..  Didn't here Immortal yet, but that is only a matter of time

[joost]

Can I pick two albums?
'Cause my favorites would be both the Visitor and Breakfast in Biarritz.
Amazing, you guys dont lose any quality when playing @ a concert!

[Herben]

I must be crazy I love them all

You're not crazy than I'm crazy too

[Silhouette]

The classic, impossible question...

My favourite is probably always the one I listened to last time.
Right now, that'd be Pepper's ghost (currently in the middle of Opera fanatica).

Another choice could be Contagion, since it was my first Arena album, and so the one I've listened to the most, and I still haven't got tired of it, actually I still find it more interesting for each time.

It could also be The visitor, since it contains more lovely music than any of the other albums (about three more minutes than Contagion).

Decisions, decisions...

I still love Songs from the Lions Cage. "Solomon" is one of my favoriet Arena tracks. Very emotional and energetic.  I find Pepper's ghost a fantastic album. Terrific heavy guitar work on it. Sometimes pleasant  heavy and then again gentil and flowing. Great songs and I like the lyrics. Much can be found. Superb. The last weeks I listen to Contagion and Pepper's Ghost all the times im my car and am not getting tired of it. Arena is still evolving and they keep on developing. By the way I love the way Mick Pointer handles his drums. He's getting better every album.

So I guess I have three favourite Arena albums - and a ticket for their next concert in The Netherlands....gna

Yep, Solomon is awesomish.

Hi Masterplace!

I agree with you that all CDs are beautiful. Arena doesn't make bad albums!
Have you already checked the topic about a possible fan magazine??

And welcome here! An Arena fan is a friend of mine!

Just realised that I hadnt posted here. Well, it cant come as a surprise to anyone who knows me that my fave Arena album is Contagion. It has the most great music imo. And the lyrics are very intriguing too. But there are equally wonderful passages on PG and Immortal ?  The Visitor was my first Arena album, and it blew me away at the time, but today it doesnt grip me as much as the other three albums. LC and Pride I find far below the celestial heights of Contagion

Hi!

First post here My favourite album remains Songs From The Lions Cage. The first Arena album I heard and probably one of the first prog album I heard too I love how it is so epic! I still love it!

Another one would be The Visitor or Immortal?

[neoman]

I love all their albums with "Songs & "The Visitor" being my favs!

[moviedrome]

hi

in my opinion the best albums of ARena are this on order:
1-The visitor(the best album that i heard in my life)
2-Songs from the lion cage with pride, and Inmortal?...imposible to decide one
3-Contagion(a great album)

I dont like very much the peppers gghots album because, i feel that Arena with this disc, enter in a very diferent style and i not waiting this style of Arena..But some songs are vero goood: smoke and mirrors, tantalus, or purgatory road.

bye

So far, of what I have, The Visitor is my favorite, followed by Immortal and Contagion. Peppers Ghost is good too. All have different ideas and concepts. Haven't had all of them for long, so I am still sorting them all out.

[maddox]

Yep, The Visitor rules!!! 

[aswas]

Gotta couple more coming too. My wife is freaked, she understands. I don't spend money anywhere else, just my music.
