I went with Ayreon. Arjen Lucassen is the king of the double album.

I honestly don't know which to pick, though it's been Iron Maiden, Ayreon and Spectral Lore.

One of my favorite double albums comes from this progressive metal band called Hourglass. The album is called Oblivious to the Obvious and was released in 2009.

That's why its considered a collaboration album.

This is a metal site, so I listed Metallica first. Big deal.


On my CD shelf I file it next to Metallica, cos I'd never find it if I stuck it in L for Lou or R for Reed, so as far I'm concerned, you got it the right way round.

LOL 
it's not about filing it... oh wait, did you buy the album? does it make a good beer coaster?


Yes, I bought it, the day it was released. In case you didn't read the whole thread, I said I LIKE IT!

ok, my bad then EmbarrassedBig smile

If this thread was about the one album specfically then fair play to call me out over it but it's one option on a poll with 15 other albums. It's not unclear what album is being referred to by calling it Metallica and Lou Reed rather than Lou Reed and Metallica. It's still the same release. Again, not a big deal...or at least it wasn't until you made it into one.

I did not mean to upset you, you shouldn't have anyway.

I wasn't criticizing you so don't take it personally.
It is a big deal since most ideas from Lulu came from Reed so it's more a Lou Reed album than a Metallica album. Just wanted to make people aware of that. That's all.

hard to choose between Symphony X and Ayreon.

sorry for complaining but it's not Metallica & Lou Reed, it's the other way around. Big difference I say because it's a Lou Reed album with Metallica as a back up band (saw the cd in stores back in 2011, literally gathering dust, it said Lou Reed & Metallica). Big smile

Double albums rarely thrill me but there are some great ones here. I'm shocked at myself by i think the Iron Maiden album has proved more listens than the others. Esoteric is a once in a while type of album and The Ocean is a close second

Nostradamus definitely. It's something pretty unique from a band I adore.
