I know they really divide opinions on here, but I only got into them last year with 'Stormwarning' and it became my favourite album of 2011. I had a bit of a Ten day yesterday having collected their back catalogue, and have to say 'Stormwarning' is still my favourite, there isn't one track I skip over, whereas with all the others there is.After that I'd rate the debut and 'Heresy & Creed' as the next best.http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924394#msg-924394Thu, 20 Jun 2013 05:49:14 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924523#msg-924523 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924523#msg-924523# 2: Babylon

The robe

the rest are pretty even for me.

I re-listened to Spellbound recently after feeling disappointed with it for ages - stands up well, especially next to the post-Vinny Burns albums. Babylon and Far Beyond the World aren't quite as good, IMO, with Return to Evermore being my least favourite Ten album by far. Twilight Chronicles was okay, but nothing special. Stormwarning and Heresy and Creed have some good songs, but I don't find them as consistent as the early material.]]> Idiosyncrasy NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 04:37:39 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924430#msg-924430 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924430#msg-924430 Fred NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 04:00:16 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924428#msg-924428 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924428#msg-924428 Rebelson NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 03:52:58 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924422#msg-924422 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924422#msg-924422 Rockingbear NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 02:42:59 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924417#msg-924417 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924417#msg-924417
I used to love Ten now I like them but find them at times a little dull and lacking the huge anthemic rockers and classy ballads of the first 5 albums. Just can't get in to 'Heresy and Creed' at all on times I've played it on Spotify so far.]]> Cressy NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 02:16:18 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924413#msg-924413 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924413#msg-924413 Dan NoticeboardMon, 24 Dec 2012 01:48:02 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924412#msg-924412 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924412#msg-924412

Babylon didn't click with me at all.

I'd rate something like this

1) NOTR
2) debut/The Robe
3) Far Beyond The World
4) Spellbound
5 Stormwarning

Must admit I haven't listened to Heresy and Creed properly - I have it but don't like Gunrunning at all which put me off for a while.

It's funny how in some ways, Ten's career mirrors Harem Scarem ... big AOR debut, then a heavier second album (although both recorded at same time!!) and big in Japan ... then interest waning over later releases ... band going away for a few years then coming back ...]]> blm NoticeboardSun, 23 Dec 2012 23:38:31 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924394#msg-924394 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,924394,924394#msg-924394 Addyeddy NoticeboardSun, 23 Dec 2012 23:20:07 +1100
