I saw the cover of that Crimson Glory album and thought I was going to hate it. Looked like some typical early 80s not-really-metal hard rock album. However, I really liked it - reminded me a lot of Iron Maiden with the high pitched vocals and literary references.
Problem is, Watching From a Distance turned out to be even better and got my vote. I'll definitely be listening to both again but massive, plodding doom metal appeals to me more. _________________ And it's hard to be a human being. And it's harder as anything else.

In one corner we have an influential and important part of the progressive metal canon, and in the other… we have a modern doom metal album that is as uninspired as it is bland. For me, it’s not a difficult choice to pick Transcendence by any margin of thought. If it was a stronger doom metal album or an actually good one (such as anything from Candlemass, Cathedral, or Sleep) I would probably go against Crimson Glory’s strongest album of their four album discography. But since Transcendence is up against Watching from a Distance... I won’t.

Haven't managed to finish either album (will finish them eventually, it's just that I've been really busy lately), but I definitely like Transcendence a hell of a lot more than Watching From a Distance. That album was bleh.
Vote for Crimson Glory. _________________
