Here are some of my favourite PM albums,
(I didnīt include albums like SFAM, or Operation Mindcrime because they would have run off with the most votes)
So, which would you say is the best?

Promised Land - StarStarStar1/2 - a very good album with some weak songs.... the proggiest from the Ryche
 
Savatage - haven'ty heardCry
 
Mind over body - StarStar - weak POS-rip off with no coherence.... lots of potential but not there yet
 
Temple of Shadows - StarStarStar1/2 - very good power metal album with some prog elements, it dies halfway through, though....
 
Mabool - StarStarStarStar1/2 - almost a masterpiece.... magnificent hebrew elements... great album
 
SC - StarStarStarStarStar - Tongue

Systematic Chaos... review to be coming in the weeks ahead...

haven't heard any of those other albums.. but I was able to sit through SC and actually found some of it interesting.  Enough for a vote from me.   DT deserves just a bit of love from me anyway...

I agree with the praising, but the I'd just like to say that "Hebrew elements" isn't exactly an accurate term. 
There's some Jewish prayers inside (some passages in Hebrew, some in Aramaic), some Yemenite chanting, some Arabian influences in the sound.
 
Hebrew is their language (meaning the Israeli's) but as such there is no Hebrew identity (although some Historians, philosophers and other people in Israel will say otherwise but those are usually frowned upon in the general Israeli public). Which reminds me of how many times since I arrived to the US, people have asked me if I speak Israeli or Jewish...
 
Anyway, a fantastic album! Looking forward to their follow up.

LOL
 
 
I think you'll like it, though. Especially after seeing your conversion of late. There's a big variety of sounds in this album; influences/sounds from the middle east, from Muslim and Jewish religious tunes, citing from the bible (old testament), a nice story line that album is built around, cool art work; the last four tracks which are connected in themselves are a good reason to get this. But the opening song is fabulous as well.
There's growling on the album (as well as clear vocals and female chants) so just so you know.

through Battiato .. I've really come to love those influences....   it does sound like something I'd love.  See I told you that you know my tastes.  Easy to find and order?  Haven't checked yet... trolling the forum and digging Richard's radio show.

I have never heard of Mabool.  But, sounds like I need to hear them. Any insight as to what they sound like and where I should start?

Mabool is the name of the album. The band is Orphaned Land. You can read my description above and read the reviews in the album page here in PA.
If you're not into metal (Death metal and extreme) then I wouldn't bother or at least start with their previous (even though I do recommend them to metal heads). Go with Mabool. If you like it, try El Nora Alila and then Sahara.
