The Kiss of Babylon (The Sins) Mabool (2004) The Parth, Pt. 1 - Treading Through Darkness ORwarriOR (2010) The Cave UPaDM (2018) Fore me it's ORwarriOR, by a long shot. I think it's on of the greatest progressive albums ever made, nearing perfection - if only OL would continue making albums in that style, they would be incredible. The only reason I do not classify this album as a masterpiece is because of the opening track "Sapari," which is one of their weaker efforts, but I guess they needed a radio-friendly pop song to promote the album... this acoustic version is more interesting than the album version; speaking of which, it's about time they release an acoustic album.

Mabool is certainly their best...
as a matter of interest: Metal Storm: Mabool: 8.9 / ORWarriOR 8.4 / All Is One 8.3 / Unsung 8.1 PA: Mabool: 4.08 / ORWarriOR 3.87 / All Is One 3.62 / Unsung 3.89 Mabool is still considered the strongest offering from both a Prog and a metal standpoint... |

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Who cares about other people's ratings for how they themselves should perceive the release? It's the most accessible album, so those who are unfamiliar with the band will find it more immediately gratifying. There's no objective "strongest." I personally find the beginning of Mabool to drag on and meander too much, and the production of the album leaves a lot to be desired.

Well, I think you are dismissing the overall views of a couple of thousand metal and prog fans, with that attitude. Don't worry, I shan't trouble you with my thoughts any longer...
