I actually do think Judgement is their best album. It's just so perfectly depressing

I agreed before WHBWH

They're equally good in quality(that is, fuckin' amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing), but I like depressing music more than happy music.

Me too, but WHBWH is just that much better.

Hmm yeah Hindsight is Anathema's best song IMO, but the flow in Judgement

Alternative 4 is now my favorite album, although Judgement still ranks high for me. I even like Serenades, but I guess it's because I'm used to growls. Darren White, however wasn't a very good vocalist, I'm glad he was fired.

Zantera · « **Reply #460 on:** May 31, 2011, 10:05:20 AM »

I'd kinda say that Judgement and WHBWH are equally fantastic, I'd say that WHBWH probably has the higher highs (or more highs) with songs like Universal, Hindsight and Thin Air, though Judgement is more solid all the way through.
WHBWH does have a few minor issues for me, Everything's chorus being slightly too repetitive and annoying at times, and even though Dreaming Light is great, I feel like Anathema has made better songs in the same vein as that one.

So yeah, would rank them pretty much equally great.

To me their best album is The Silent Enigma. It has so much emotion, and is one of the best doom-death albums i've ever heard.
I continue to like their work, but i never get this dark feeling and atmosphere of the older albums.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #462 on:** May 31, 2011, 12:26:05 PM »

Judgement easily stands out to me as their best album and my favorite. It's just filled with so much darkness and emotion. Evey song is heart-wrenching.

Really digging A Natural Disaster as of late, just reaffirming this band's position as my 4th favorite. God this album has amazing flow.

Well, all of Anathema's albums have god-tier flow(at least the non-doom metal ones), but AND especially.

The Silent Enigma has just as good flow as the following albums though.

Yeah but A4, Judgement, AND and WHBWH are all amazing albums even without the flow.

So you're saying that The Silent Enigma and A Fine Day to Exit aren't just as good as those albums?
I lol'd.

I'm honestly not that surprised, so it's cool.

I would agree for Silent Engima, but A Fine Day to Exit is one of their very best.

I really like WHBWH!

It cannot top Alternative 4 and Judgement, but is definitely in my top 3!

faemir · « **Reply #476 on:** June 08, 2011, 12:39:22 PM »

I'm not waiting 7 years for the next album, hurry up guys!

And I demand a 5.1 mix by Wilson again D:

Finally got round to getting We're Here Because We're Here. My first Anathema album and holy mother fucker of God! It is just awesome. No words. Out of all the albums I've got this year new or old, this blows them all out the water. Wow!

I have officially overplayed WHBWH ;_;

I've never done this to an album before. A song or two, but never an album. I hope that it does not last.

mizzl · « **Reply #481 on:** June 15, 2011, 03:24:18 PM »

Anathema is my 4th favorite band now. The way they craft their songs and albums is just amazing. Also, I think that A Natural Disaster is officially the loneliest album in existence, and Judgement the saddest. God I love this band.

Listening to WHBWH at the moment... still can't believe how amazing the opening set for Blackfield was.

jonny108 · « **Reply #484 on:** June 17, 2011, 12:26:21 PM »

I actually haven't listened to anything else over the past two days, my mind is blown. So much more pumped for High Voltage! I AM SEEING THIS BAND LIVE!!!

Which album should I get next guyz?

zxlkho · « **Reply #485 on:** June 17, 2011, 12:27:37 PM »

Judgment, Alternative 4, or A Natural Disaster. Take your pick, they're all amazing.

OskarSluring · « **Reply #486 on:** June 17, 2011, 12:28:09 PM »

Get Judgement. It's more "rock", and it's more Pink Floyd influenced than WHBWH.

EDIT: What the ninja said...

Zantera · « **Reply #487 on:** June 17, 2011, 12:57:39 PM »

You really can't go wrong with any of them, except for Serenades.
I do enjoy Serenades, but it's so different from Anathema, and it's IMO nowhere near as good quality-wise.
Also, Vinny doesn't sing on that album and it has death growls, so yeah..
It does have one of Anathema's best songs though.

Yus. I prefer the version with Vinny on vocals, but still a fantastic song.
