Believe wasn't a very inspired album considering what had gone before, true... I thought Pure was quite good, but didn't like Passion very much at all..

The Masquerade Overture over The Window Of Life.
I really didn't like Believe but Pure and that heavier sound was good, haven't heard Love over Fear.

Easily The Masquerade Overture - it's a fantastic neo-prog album. I never understood the hype around Love Over Fear - it's one of my least favorite albums of the 2020s.

Yeah me too, I was lucky enough to see them at the 229 before they set off on their ill-fated tour of Europe that had to be abandoned. If anyone doesn't know they have recently released a mini-album North Star.

I pretty much love every Pendragon album from The World on including the lesser liked ones like Believe, Pure and Passion but the trilogy of The Window of Life, The Masquerade Overture and Not of This World are the band at their best. It's a toss up between The Masquerade Overture and Not of This World but i think the first choice has a slight edge but the second has grown on me significantly over time.

I'm the weirdo who still likes The Jewel best, followed closely by The Window of Life.

Never got round to listening to LOF; that said, it's still Masquerade Overture for me, then a tie between WOL and NOTW

My favorite Pendragon album is "Not of This World." The band were firing on all cylinders from a musicianship and creative point of view on this record, in my opinion. Here's my ranking of their discography: 1. Not of This World 2. Love over Fear 3. The Masquerade Overture 4. Men Who Climb Mountains 5. Pure 6. Passion 7. Believe 8. The Window of Life 9. The World 10. The Jewel 11. Kowtow

'The Masquerade Overture' remains my favourite. Looking at the poll results, I really need to listen to the latest record...

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

I don't count myself a fan, so it may not be surprising that my fave album by them is one that fans are very split over, "Believe". It's a masterpiece IMO

At the moment, LOF. Quite exceptional.
Honourable mention for Passion, Masquerade Overture, and Not of this World. A consistently superb band.

Not of this World is the album that speaks to my soul, just edging out The Masquerade Overture (which has The Shadow, my favourite Pendragon piece).
