I lost a lot of interest in them cause the newer albums just aren't that good. Though, I might not have given them a fair chance after the first letdown after Be. The Perfect Element is still a favourite of mine and Be and Remedy Lane are 9s in my eyes.

I agree with both of you.

The Perfect Element and Remedy Lane are just beautifully constructed albums. Scarsick is absolute shit, and I have no idea what the fuck the Road Salt albums are, but they're nowhere near metal.

I still like about half of Scarsick, like the title track, Kingdom of Loss (despite how preachy it is), Idiocracy and especially Enter Rain. Actually about a year ago Entropia really grew heavily on me and became a favourite along with TPE and RL.

So I just listened to The Dark Saga and was blown away. Any other recs for Iced Earth?

Dystopia's very good.
Otherwise I think I have Horror Show and Something Wicked and they're solid.

Burnt Offerings is their best.

I think Night of the Stormrider, but if you love the Dark Saga, Burnt Offerings is right up your alley because it has Matt Barlow along with Dark Saga, whereas Stormrider doesn't. Although Days of Purgatory has most of those songs re-recorded with Matt Barlow, and they all sound better (maybe not The Path I Choose).

Piece of Time counts as the 90's

Are Celtic Frost really that good? Never looked into them.

They are the most brutal, weird, horrifically simple band of all time. I mean that in a good way!
