Every active member of the board seems to listen to them a lot. Can you rate the first 5?
It's hard, I like all of them so much.

1. Under a Funeral Moon
2. A Blaze in the Northern Sky
3. Panzerfaust
4. Transylvanian Hunger
5. Soulside Journey
There is my order, what's yours?

Currently I'd say:

1. A Blaze In the Northern Sky
2. Soulside Journey
3. Panzerfaust
4. Under a Funeral Moon
5. Transilvanian Hunger

More out-there or individualistic over the hypnotic, but of course that's a mood thing. I love them all, but where eg A Blaze's demented Celtic Frostisms are always a good time, Tranny Hunger is always a very specific mood and so gets the least playtime of them all. My first proper black metal album, still hits like a brick to the face of course. Now you've said this I am going to relisten to them (not necessarily all at once) and see if that holds up - can see Panzerfaust and UaFM rising, especially.

Yeah I just listened to them all again which is why I asked. Never rated Funeral Moon at the top before, which is why I wanted to see where everyone was currently. Blaze was my first Darkthrone album, and probably first black metal album other than Nightside.

Still working on my re-listens but after Under A Funeral Moon might slip down to fifth so far, it lacks the hypnotic qualities of TH or the more interesting songwriting of the others.

(yes I know I wrote a classic review of it, haha)
Times change, opinions too.

Alright, fine, you made me relisten to TH versus UAFM and much as I'd rather not admit it, TH is better as a more consistent album top to bottom. I love the first two tracks on UAFM and the title track so much but the middle three is a step down in quality.
Updated ranking
A Blaze
TH
UAFM
Panzerfaust
Soulside.

Same rankings as Husker now!
