Who here loves Attacker? I've been into this band for the past couple of years, and all their albums keep getting better with every listen.
My top favorites are a tie between Battle at Helm's Deep and The Second Coming. In my humble opinion, both albums are the epitome of epic power metal, with so much to go around. Who doesn't love "The Hermit", "Kick Your Face", "Disciple", "Lords of Thunder", "Emanon", or "Desecration"? These songs and the others always get the best of me!
The last three albums are also insanely good, and I'll even commit blasphemy by saying that they've stood the test of time far better than Iron Maiden or Judas Priest have. I just wish that they still kept working together with Bob Mitchell, whose voice only keeps getting better over the years. His work in Sleepy Hollow is class-A power metal goodness.
If anyone's interested, I also conducted an interview with drummer Mike Sabatini a couple of months ago. Enjoy.

I really wish that "Trapped" was included on the original vinyl, as it's pretty intense.

I've always been partial to "Kick Your Face."

That's also a great song! I've never heard one bad Attacker album, least of all a bad song of theirs. Although Soul Taker is personally the weakest of the bunch, it's still more than decent.
I often see parallels with Liege Lord, Fates Warning, and Riot. Ironic that they're all top favorites of mine, as well.

I voted Second Coming. It kicks ass! I love Battle At Helms Deep too but I went with Second Coming.

As soon as you listen to the first two albums, you're going to wish you could take back your votes.

Battle At Helm's Deep. The last 3 on the poll I haven't heard.

The Second Coming is the only one I've heard, so it gets my vote. It slays, though.
