Anglagard. Long and harder, no doubt.

It seems like stylistically those bands would appeal to the same people--it might be interesting to see which is preferred.  PoS is different to my ears, and The Tangent drastically different.  But that's just me.

Why, since the three mentioned bands are very different to Anglagard and Wobbler? Perhaps bands like The Tangent would be better.

Anglagard will win this in a landslide, as worthy as Wobbler is.

 
To make it interesting, add Anekdoten and Opeth and see what happens!  (Anekdoten would get my vote in that case.)

Anglagard, as much as I like Wobbler neither album beats Hybris or Epilog (though that might have been different if Afterglow was a bit longer).

I can't stand Anglagard.  A bunch of unrelated passages haphazardly strung together to make long pieces.

Wobbler is guilty of this too, but at least Hinterland is incredibly melodic and enjoyable.

The first album from Anglagard is incredible. Probably the best of the '90. Anglagard gets my vote.

Änglagård get my vote, but Wobbler is probably my favourite currently active Scandinavian band.

Since I had to go to Norway to see them live I can once again confirm that Wobbler is definitely Norwegian.

But I will have to be patriotic and support the local talent here!

Oh f**k, you're right. Wobbler are Norwegian. Confused

Anglagard.

When I listened to Hybris, the only thing that could keep me from believing it to be a 70s prog masterpiece was the production and sound quality. That album is just unexplainably good.

I've only been able to hear one of each. Anglagard's Hybris was significantly more impressive than Wobbler's new one. But that might be an issue of comparing the better one of the first band to the lesser one of the second. Would like to get the other albums of both bands I don't have.
