I left Icon until last because its my favourite album of the four. What I find so great about it, is its energy, which is quite ironic considering that Paradise Lost are essentially a doom metal band. I mean Metallica never put this amount of energy out on one of their albums. The group actually sound like they really enjoyed recording this album rather than just trying to sound mean and agressive. Also the album at times feels like it been recorded by a non-North American band and has that as an added bonus, its always something of a novelty.
The Dark Saga -1 Icon -1

I'm voting Icon. I didn't think the songwriting as all that great, but I liked the texture and overall mood of the album a lot more than The Dark Saga. Overall my favorite album of the bunch is still the CoC one though.

This is going to be changed over tomorrow, any final votes before the war ends should be placed.

Ok I'm calling Paradise Lost and Icon as the winner. This war seemed too tacky for some on here and for the first time in MB history, the voting actually went into negative figures before I steadied the boat. Now I'd like to say that things are going to get better, but sadly no, because next up is this Hair Metal war by The Batlord, who everybody knows is the king of tackiness and low rent music on MB (along with Howard of course) Anyway the first two albums up are Ratt (very hair metal) and Def Leppard (far less so and just got grouped with it due to their influence on the genre)
Def Leppard Pyromania 1983
Versus Ratt Out of the Cellar 1984

I've only heard one song that I didn't hate by Ratt, and it happens to be on that album ("Round and Round"). Def Leppard is a better band and Pyromania is a better album. I never grew out of "Foolin".
