I have only heard "Vovin" but I didn't like it.

It had one quite good song (it was probably the 2nd).

It's a dead heat between "Theli" and "Vovin". Both among the best
progressive metal albums ever made. Both among the three finest albums
of the nineties (the other one being French band GRAAL's breathtaking
psychedelic folk album "Secret Of Now", in case you're wondering). Both
miles ahead of anything else the band has done (although "Sirius
B"/"Lemuria" is pretty impressive too).

i've just ...of Darkness (once upon a time i used to listen to death metal) and Vovin

they are quite different   i think that the evolution of the band is quite interesting, but i havent listened to the other albums to make a correct opinion

vovin is not a masterpiece in my opinion, it's a good album with some interesting ideas, maybe just a little too long ane boring in some parts

but is there something better than museo rosenbach?

Manticore, you disappoint me. After all your metal bashing, how can you like Therion crap? Sorry, but even Rhapsody is better than Therion. And Symphony X, Adagio and Kamelot run circles around them ... Therion are better than Haggard. But that's the only positive thing I can say about them.

I wouldn't call them worse than Rhapsody or Symphony X, they're at least a bit more original.  Lemuria is probably the best album I've heard from them, but I really think they're a band with the poetential to do a lot more than they have on any of their releases thus far.

I don't understand why they are in the prog archives, in spite of I like Therion.

Mmmh... Ho Drakon Ho Megas, Theli and... Lemuria

I downloaded about six or seven songs about a year ago, and lately I've been deleting songs of my computer... every time I got to a Therion song I thought why the hell have I got this on my computer?!

Theli and Vovin are among the most awful albums of all time. The only people that I personaly know AND who like Therion, are no musicians AND do not know anything about music. And they like Haggard as well ... and Manowar of course.

MANOWAR? Can't see any resemblance whatsoever between that band
and THERION. HAGGARD I find listenable enough, but not very creative,
whereas "Theli" and "Vovin" were very bold and imaginative in their fusion
of metal, orchestral and choral elements.

I didn't compare them to Manowar, I said that most of the people that I know to like Therion also are (fanatic) Manowar fans.

I really think that Therion are awful, and there are MUCH better bands who fuse Metal and classical music.

Adagio does a great job of fusing metal and classical
