Just listened to the album (once again) on headphones last night and want to say Nic Potter's bass lines are a huge reason this album is so great (his playing on "Refugees" is especially brilliant). I know there's a recent thread about most underappreciated guitarists, but if there was a similar thread for bassists I'd put Nic at the top...and Hugh at the top of most underappreciated keyboardists  Pawn Hearts is my fave VDGG album, but followed very closely by The Least...both amazing albums. |

Very hard to choose, and after a lot of thinking, I'll go with After the Flood, but I love the whole album.

This was a tough choice, but I decided to give my vote to After the Flood.

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

When I decided to get into VDGG, I ordered their best rated albums all at once, without having heard their music previously. The first album I put was this, and of course the first track was Darkness. If it hadn't been for this being the first song I heard from them, I might have given up with them all too soon, but I really loved this song and it was the hook I needed to keep on listening to the band until it clicked. It remains one of my favourites from the band.

Super tough, but After the Flood is epic and apocalyptic, getting my vote. Love this album.

Darkness has such a great saxophone element to it, I'd probably go with that

Brutal choice. I love all of them about equally, but I'll have to go with White Hammer. Every time I hear Hugh's church organ coupled with those lyrics I feel like I'm back in 1486 seeing it happen. And that ending section...VDGG invented death/doom metal and didn't need distorted guitars
