I have the LP's ranked... Amplifier > The Octopus > Echo Street > Insider > Mystoria



Brilliant Discography though, a few good EP's as well.

I think IMO I'd switch the first two and the last two. HAL goes in 3rd and Sunriders 4th or 5th



Not sure about this album yet

I'd go: Amplifier > The Octopus > Echo Street > Insider



Right now I would probably put Mystoria between Echo Street and Insider, but it's early days. HAL deserved to be mentioned, maybe even my favorite release after the debut, or Octopus. The other EPs are great as well. Personally I almost count Sunriders as an extension of Echo Street, since I got the Digibook Edition and have only listened to the two back-to-back, so it's kinda like a bonus disc for me.

Well this has been surprisingly well-received...might have to give it a spin. Although the British prog scene is getting a little stale recently

Yeah I didn't expect people to enjoy the album this much.



I reviewed HAL but almost nobody saw/commented on it :,(

I see Mystoria as some kind of Insider 2.0. Dense sound, short songs, catchy tunes. Overall, I'm really enjoying the album.



Personal ranking of all major Amplifier releases:

HAL = Amplifier > Octopus > Insider = Mystoria > Echo Street



Their best songs are beyond amazing. Their "worst" ones are still pretty good. They are also very impressive on stage. If they're playing near your town: Don't. Miss. It.

I've been digging this album a lot, although I'm gonna purchase The Octopus first. A store in Romania has it and my name's all over it!

Damn that's pretty awesome that it's made it out to Romania considering they released it without a label, defo worth your money

Yuuuup! And The Octopus is now on its way to me! I only need Insider and Mystoria hehe. Now that I bought TO, I will dig the hell out of it (it's such a massive work, I don't think I took enough time to digest it in its entirety - until now)

Darth Vader (bonus track) is actually one of the best off this.



Also who changed the band photo? It looks awful now : (

I wanted to like this but it's just isn't working with me.. It's far from being a bad album, but I fell in love with mostly self titled album 'Amplifier' and 'Octopus'.. Was just wishing for another song like Motorhead or Airborne on their repertoire but it seems they are going to some 'another dimension'. I miss their ex bassist Neil Mahony, there you have it.
