bathory Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 with the new sabbath and the new queensryche out, comeback albums are the talk of the town, so what are you guys' favorites? and to clarify, a comeback album could either be the first album in a long-ass time, the first kick-ass record after a string of shitty/mediocre ones, or the first album after a break-up. and some albums that might not be comebacks for me might be comebacks for you. for example, some would say counterparts or clockwork angels are combeback albums. I love those records, but I don't think rush were ever shitty enough (or shitty at all) to have anything to bounce back from. some of my favorites: megadeth - the system has failed - not an amazing record but definitely a return to the thrashy sound that the band was known forjudas priest - painkiller - after a string of lackluster records (turbo and ram it down), priest returned to pure heavy metal and made one of their best records when nobody thought they couldsaint vitus - lillie f-65 - solid doom metal after nearly two decades without an albumdinosaur jr - beyond - the original line-up reformed and put out the perfect successor to 1988's bugiron maiden - brave new world - after a bunch of weak 90s record, bruce and adrian rejoin and make a great f***ing albumexodus - tempo of the damned - first exodus album in over a decade and the gang is back for one of the best thrash albums of the modern erasodom - m-16 - easily their best record since agent orange (and their last great album), a concept album about vietnam proves to be one of the best albums of their career in a time when thrash wasnt exactly on top of the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat 3 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 John Fogerty - CenterfieldGeorge Harrison - Cloud 9Neil Young - FreedomRobbie Robertson - Robbie Robertson Fogerty's "Centerfield" is a classic. (just got tickets for the Beacon Theatre gig this November). "Cloud Nine" along with The Traveling Wilburys is a definite creative high for George. The gem on your list is Robbie Robertson's first solo album. I have the MFSL version of this and it just sounds amazing. "Showdown at Big Sky" is one of my favourite songs by any artist on any album ever. The line in the song, "Can't predict the future, can't forget the past, feels like any moment could be the last..." just wrecks me every time I hear it.
