The Best Haunted album in my opinion is their first one, (self titled) folloed by "Made Me Do it" and then "One Kill Wonder" At the Gates are ok. But far more influential than they were actually good. "Slaughter of the soul" is a very classic album and "Terminal Spirit Disease" is also pretty good. "Red In The Sky is Ours" and "With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness" are both terrible. I wish I'd never bought them...but I was young! Regarding Devin Townsend here is what I'd suggest: "City" - Strapping Young Lad (if you want brutal as fuck but somehow beautiful industrial extreme metal) "Biomech" - Ocean Machine (this is Devin's most beautiful piece of work, amazing songs) "Accelerated Evolution" - Devin Townsend Band (similar to Ocean Machine but a little heavier. Devy sings rather than screams through it and it has some beautiful progressive rock but still with heavy guitars. Not a million miles away from the deftones in places!) I'd say "Infinity" and "Terria" although 2 favourites of Hog's and still really good, are not the best way to get into Devin, as I think you have to already love him to appreciate and even "get" (without sounding like a Devin elitist snob)
