Ive made a worst to first album ranking of Arena. You probably saw such a video from me not that long ago, but it was kind of lousy, as i excluded the Paul Manzi era albums. But this time all the Manzi era albums are included along with their latest album The Theory of Molecular Inheritance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGOTNNPOpeM

I've now heard them all, so: 1) The Visitor 2) Songs From the Lion's Cage 3) The 7th Degree of Separation 4) The Unquiet Sky 5) Pride 6) Double Vision 7) immortal 8 The Theory of Molecular Inheritance 9) Contagion 10 Pepper's Ghost The first 3 are absolutely top notch and even Pepper's Ghost is a decent album. There's some disagreement between us because, unlike you, I like the move to a heavier sound on The 7th Degree of Separation and The Unquiet Sky. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I dont expect everybodies own rankings to mirror mine, we are all different and like different things. I do find it interesting tho Herculeas that you have made a fair gap between Songs From the Lions Cage and Pride. For me i found those albums so so so so so similar that it took me a long time to decide which one was just that little bit better. For me i think the deciding factors were 1) I prefer John Carsons vocals to Paul Wrightsons 2) If i were to do a ranking of all the songs from both those albums combined, i would have Jericho at number 1 and Medusa at number 2.

1. Songs From the Lion's Cage 2. The Visitor 3. Immortal 4. Contagion 5. The Theory of Molecular Inheritance 6. Pride 7. Double Vision 8. The Unquiet Sky 9. Pepper's Ghost 10. 7th Degree of Separation The last 4 are largely interchangable, as they all leave me pretty cold.
