Favorite Living Sacrifice album?

What's your fave by them?I've got their whole catalog and like them all but my fave will always remain the self-titled.I wish they had kept that sound throughout the years.

I'm with you, Thrasher. The first one rips! They start
losing me a little more with each one after that. Still good,
just too many style changes.

Ditto.

The first self titled is my favorite. Wish they would have followed it up with another thrash album. I saw Living Sacrifice on their first tour and they played a few new songs that were much in the same style. Unfortunately they were later changed into death metal songs.

Although I do like "Reborn" and thought maybe it was a return to their thrash roots, it turned out to be just another step into trends (ie. metalcore). I didn't care for much after that.

My fav is the S/T disc. I also really like Nonexistant and Inhabit. Reborn is really good as well. Don't care for T.H.P. or C.I.F. anymore, as they just became quite boring to me. Got 'em both on LaLa (though I THINK I recently got rid of one of them on there...).

Hmm,so far its unanimous.Its one of the very few bands where I can pick a constant favorite.Most bands catalog,I will sway back and forth from one release to another on a favorite,but this one is set in stone for me.

didn't we do this before?

i guess i'd go with any of their first three. everything else was ok, but basicly they jumped on the metalcore wagon with Reborn.

I like Reborn the best. I can't really get into the early albums.

I think we've done it all before:)

I don't like anything post-Inhabit.

I rarely listen to LS anymore, but Nonexistant was my favorite for years. Not sure now, but I like all three of their REAL albums.

Deja Vu?
I saw a Living Sacrafice cd in a used shop and asked here if they were any good, which started a thread very similiar to this one.

The self titled cd is definately the best and then i would say Inhabit.

How can anyone like Inhabit? It's so bad it's laughable. Awesome vocals.

yeah that's where i remember this from

I dont like any of their albums except for the s/t which is an awesome cd.

I've "rediscovered" Living Sacrifice as of late. The self-titled is a
classic. I actually have grown to like Inhabit despite the vocals
because the music is just sick. But, the one I recently got that is
just wearing out my ipod is Conceived In Fire! It’s a well-designed
album, with a very diverse plate of black, death metal. It's quickly
become another favorite. Symbiotic is a scorcher, but it also has some
cool spots with a melodic groove. Send Your Regrets is brutal, great
song. The Martyr is killer. Reach for The Sky is an awesome song. It’s
just a deep listen from start to finish. I wish these guys had stuck
around!

Two I haven’t heard yet are Reborn and The Hammering Process. Can’t wait though!

This is where I'm at.

I absolutely love the first disc. One of the best Christian thrash discs ever made.

Non-existent is ok musically, but the vocals ruin it for me.

Inhabit is a great disc as well, and I actually LOVE the vocals on this one.

Reborn is ok, but nothing I listen to with any regularity.

After that they lost my interest.

The self-titled is great. Beyond that, I like Reborn, followed by Inhabit. Actually, i really dig the Concieved in Fire album as well, it's just the monotone vocals that kill it sometimes.

The vocals are better than those on nonexistant!

The S/T and Reborn are my favorites.Entirely different from each other but both are great to me.

YES!

Reborn is my favorite, and it's surely not metalcore. Metalcore wasn't even on the radar when that album came out. In fact, metalcore was just becoming popular when the band broke up, so I can't imagine they jumped on any bandwagon.

What about The Hammering Process? Any

Who bumped this old thread? Haha. I never even noticed I had already replied in it.

At least I kept it real.

The Hammering Process and Conceived In Fire are decent, and in the same style, if not with a bit more of that heavy groove metal feel, but the songs just aren't the greatest. Decent albums if you can find them cheap, but Reborn is the best of the three by far. None are metalcore, though.
