  THE VISITOR. It's a concept album, it's symphonic progressive, there was Jowitt and Wrightson. What more can i say?

Contagion.  It's a concept album, it has a great symphonic sound, and the lineup of musicians has solidified.

I agree but Peppers Ghost comes a very very close second and a few more listens........well, who knows i might find myself saying...

Peppers Ghost. O.K. It's not a concept album, but it has a great symphonic sound, and the lineup of musicians has solidified even more than on Contagion.

Thanks for the quote Wilford Jr!!

I agree with all you say about PG Johninblack.  But I really love the idea of the concept album and Arena does it so well. That is probably the reason I rate Contagion just a little bit higher than PG.

Definately 'Contagion' with 'Pepper's Ghost' and 'The Visitor' close behind. I remember that I was not so confident when I played 'Contagion' the first time, but now it's my favorite. Excellent changes in heavy and less heavy songs, tracks that flow in each other.

When I first heard the album, I didn't realised it was already track 5 when I looked at the cd-player.

;D. I had the luck that I had my booklet in the hand at first playing.

I though it was a real coincidence at first... but then, on further investigation i realized that the book comes with it! ;D ;)

Welcome to the stage!  ;) Best live album ever!
"We pay for life with death, everything in between should be free" -Bill Hicks

1. VISITOR - (I love every track...)
2. Peppers Ghost
3. Contagion
4. Immortal
5. Pride
6. Songs From The Lions Cage
KEEP ROCKIN'

Fruitbat63

I can really decide which one is the best.
Every release is different - yet special in its own way.
The only album I dont really like too much is Pride

marcello

Split decision between Songs from the lions cage and The Visitor. I will say this now, but i garruntee that when i put Peppers ghost in, or another Arena album, I'll be convinced i like that more - Thats how it seems to work for me.
What will I be, When Winter comes again, and were wrapped up in furs, and life has begun again

Alle Jansen

Its hard to choose the right number 1 or 6 and everything between it.
But I give it a try
1 Songs Of The Lions Cage
2 Contagion
3 Visitor
4 Pride
5 Peppers Ghost
6 Immortal

On every album I got some very strong songs. So if you let me put together a very best album , It looks very diffence then the list above.
Everybody has his own favorites. Its al about taste. ;D

frenchsting

the choice is between contagion and the visitor. what canb i do, what can i choose ? Let's say the visitor, less "heavy metal" and with spaces you can breathe in...

PH

Contagion is the best album in my opinion.
Followed by either The Visitor or Immortal?... I'm not quite sure.
The newest: Pepper's Ghost is REALLY good, but it hits the fourth place in my list.
It's still one of the greatest albums I've ever heard, so it isn't bad at all.
On the fifth spot: Songs From The Lion's Cage.
And Pride is on the sixth...

Does The Cry count as an album??
Then it's between Songs... and Pride.



My list. ;D

Contagion is the best!!!!!!!!!1!!!!11!!!!one!!!shift+1!!!

An EP of 36 minutes... it's a big one then.

Yes, I remembered it was an EP.

Best EP's:

1. Contagium
2. Contagious
3. The Cry

Best live:

I dunno...

Contagion is their worst effort. IMO.
