Pilgrimage for me is more closely related to the style of Argus. The first album is a must but, I loathe the production. I hate that aspect because it ruins the album for me. New England has some beautiful songwriting like "In All Of My Dreams" for example and a dark romantic kind of ballad about an Island (forget title). Some of the rockers on New England are very intense and bring back the Argus style. The Frampton/Walsh talk-box kills it for me. Or whatever that God forsaken thing was called......You stuck the ridiculous thing in your mouth or throat. Like a visit to the doctor. You then become Mr. talk-box. I was so used to hearing Frampton play guitar with a more serious approach, like on Humble Pie "Rockin' the Fillmore". But yes folks.....the Ash incorporate that talk-box effect on New England and they really didn't need to. The think it's a great album!

Pilgrimage is spoiled by the 10-minute live track Where Were You Tomorrow, and I've got to agree with Toddler about the talk box... what a naff device.

The first for me but Pilgrimage, Argus and There's the Rub are very worthy.

I absolutely love Live Dates! I have never heard volumes 2 and 3. Anyone on P.A. care to comment on them? I would really appreciate some personal viewpoints. I am really curious about vol. 2. I saw the "Locked In" tour. Anyway, what period is Live Dates no. 3 from? Are these worthwhile like the original Live Dates?

It's Number The Brave! but we know what you mean  I went for New England as well. I also rate the first album and it's a difficult choice as they are both my faves really. Tony C.

Their debut is above the others, but almost all are worth listening to.

Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run

I like the way the standing are, because they reflect much my tastes (and non-tastes for the poor Locked-in, ¨FPN and 4)...
Indeed their debut, followed by Rub and Pilgrimage are coming after Argus
I'll have to re-listen to New England some day, because the OP has intrigued me (didn't remember it to be good)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
