Of all the albums in the Sonic Abyss, these rank as my 10 favorite unsung classics, each for it’s own unique reasons stretching beyond the mere strengths of the hooks. They’re listed in no particular order, as on any given day any one of them is my favorite of all time.
1. Tricky Woo -Sometimes I Cry
3. The Tea Party – The Edges of Twilight
4. That Petrol Emotion – Chemicrazy
5. Celtic Frost – Into the Pandemonium
7. Badlees – Up There Down Here
10. Swell – Too Many Days Without Thinking
11. Siouxsie & the Banshees – Tinderbox (I know this is supposed to be only a list of 10. These go to 11.)
Some honorable mentions: Amorphis – Tales From the Thousand Lakes, Amorphis – Silent Water, Armored Saint – Delirious Nomad, Savatage – Sirens, Clutch – Pure Rock Fury, Clutch – Robot Hive/Exodus, Swell – …Well?, The Tea Party – The Interzone Mantras, Toadies – Hell Below/Stars Above,
