^ That was 6 days ago he got that, I figured it would be enough time to digest and have an opinion.

Looking at all the above posts it seems that t the best thing to do would be to write each album title on a separate piece of paper.  Put them in a hat and pull one out with your eyes shut.  Buy that one!

Yeah, and also there is a kind of rambling quality in their tracks.  At least that's what I feel when I listen to them, like I have to wrap my ears around the song rather than the other way round.

Many opinions here, for very few albums... Tongue
I suggest Lateralus and 10.000 days as first ones. If you like their style, continue to the others...

Lateralus is their finest album, Aenima is pretty good. 10,000 Days didn't click with me after a handful of listens, but it's been a few years so I should probably give it another shot.

Both absolutely fantastic albums!


Miss Aenima as its inferior to these other albums.

I´m not much of a fan of their later material so I´d recommend Undertow and then AEniema.

I would say Lateralus after that 10'000 days and if you must Aenima which is not as good as the others IMO.

ALL!  (Yes, even Opiate and Undertow)

But, to start?  I'd go with Aenima.  THEN Lateralus.  You might appreciate Lateralus more that way.
