Favorite Jag Panzer album

schenkadere · May 9th, 2008, 01:20 PM

So far, mine is The Fourth Judgement...I love Tafolla's playing on this one and the entire album is just classic heavy metal riffage just like back in the day.

Katana Overlord · May 9th, 2008, 05:02 PM

Ample Destruction followed closely by Thane to the Throne and Chain of Command. You can't really go wrong with any album!

elTob · May 9th, 2008, 06:00 PM

My favorites are Ample Destruction and Mechanized Warfare, I think. Not an easy one to figure out.

AD because of its rawness and energy and MW because of Cold is the Blade which is one of my favorite songs ever; but the others songs are very good, too.

Katana Overlord · May 9th, 2008, 08:13 PM

I especially love Power Surge from Mechanized Warfare, that song always gets me pumped and headbanging!

schenkadere · May 9th, 2008, 08:31 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems as time went on, they became more "power metal". I don't consider Ample Destruction or The Fourth Judgement to have those "power metal" qualities...they're just classic heavy metal. Now listening to The Age of Mastery, I hear the transition. Still a great album.

elTob · May 9th, 2008, 09:07 PM

Yes, of course there is a notable difference. I just always have a hard time naming the styles bands play. I think Ample Destruction was heavy metal, the more recent albums are U.S. style power metal with more melody.

I think that The Fourth Judgement does have the mentioned "power metal qualities" because in my opinion it sounds like the connection between the old and the new sound. By the way, I think the bass drum on that record is not too well produced. I'd show more love if it was better. Still love Despair or Call of the Wild.

Marco Spain · May 10th, 2008, 04:59 AM

Well, I love "The age of mastery" but given the fact that it includes songs re-recorded from other periods ("Chain of command", "Burning heart",...), I´d pick:

1. Ample Destruction
2. Casting the stones
3. Chain of command

Nightrunner · May 10th, 2008, 06:03 PM

"Mechanized Warfare"...clearly! =)

Golden_Goose · May 10th, 2008, 10:22 PM

Ample does rule! COC,MW,TTTT & CTS kick ass too! quality stuff right there

TheBodomBeachTerror · May 11th, 2008, 11:33 AM

for me, its EASILY casting the stones........with amazing song like tempest, vigilant, fast or famine, legion immortal .... this album is my favourite

Marco - Battleroar · May 11th, 2008, 02:05 PM

1 - AMPLE DESTRUCTION / TYRANTS E.P.

2 - CHAIN OF COMMAND

3 - 4TH JUDGEMENT

Harley D · May 12th, 2008, 07:22 AM

Ample Destruction. Fond memories from my teenage years.

schenkadere · May 12th, 2008, 11:21 AM

I'm confused...when was Chain of Command actually released? Is the later re-release the original recording?

Yes.

The Invisible Guest · May 22nd, 2008, 06:52 PM

I think Casting The Stones is my favorite .. it's the strongest from start to finish in my opinion ... great disc. Thane To The Throne is a very close 2nd .. love that disc.

Dissident Alliance

(bad joke)

To be serious, this thread has only one correct answer and this is Ample Destruction of course!

Michael von Rabensblut · June 2nd, 2008, 07:56 AM

Best album? Definitely it is Mechanical Warfare

Dean ML Tribute · June 3rd, 2008, 06:44 PM

Ample Destruction, no hands down. I'd like to see Mark and Company go back to their roots for an upcoming lp

Roddoliver · June 3rd, 2008, 11:57 PM

Mechanized Warfare. It has the best vocals of Harry in my opinion, and the songs have some different, creative ideas behind them.

Yes I can Dissident Alliance is absolutely crap. Not only as JP album but generaly I did not find anything interesting on it.

TheBodomBeachTerror · June 4th, 2008, 07:42 AM

wait wait wait, i have a question........ does anyone know what kind of tuning Briody uses on the casting the stones album,.....I always thought he was using a 7 string, but he doesn't claim to own any.....and i saw a video of him playing "the silent" and he was using a strat (yes i know that was mechanised warfare but the rhythm behind the solo has a lot of extra low notes in it too)

I was under the assumption that Broderick was handling the 7 strings.

yeah he does, but the rhythm also sounds extremely low....for example the rhythm behind the solo in the song Tempest, Starlight's Fury, and Vigilant

schenkadere · June 5th, 2008, 03:49 PM

Ample Destruction just has such a great energy throughout...The Fourth Judgment has by far my favorite guitar playing thanks to Tafolla again. I'm still trying to find a recording of Chain of Command.
