What was Fish's high water mark for you?

[3RDegree_Robert]

You can’t beat his lyrics and the music and melodies on his debut. For a million albums now I’ve bought his output hoping he’d top it but Fish is only ever as good as the writers he’s working with it would seem.

Raingods with Zippos perhaps as it has the Plague of Ghosts suite (ft. Steven Wilson).

I think "Raingods" is under rated. It rarely gets mentioned in favorite Fish threads, but I think it is a solid album.

Probably my 2nd favorite. And sonically, one of the best albums I've heard.

Interesting... I've only got a couple Fish albums, but was curious about Raingods. Maybe I should check that one out next.

The Suite wins it, and is among his best efforts, but at least 2 of the prior tracks are pretty good too.

I haven’t waded into this yet, but I agree Raingods is kind of underrated. A few of the songs on it always sound better than I remember when I listen. Yeah, the suite is great, “Tilted Cross” is great, “Tumbledown” and “Mission Statement” are solid songs I always enjoy.

It’s a colorful album, somehow.

Isn't Raingods OOP?

There's a recent 3-disk reissue of it.

Raingods is okay, my least fave is the epic.

Of the first five proper albums, it's fifth in my personal order:
- Vigil 1a
- Sunsets 1b

- Internal Exile
- Suits

- Raingods...

But tons of awesome stuff in those five.

I like it, but the songs are much better live.

This EP grows on me with every listen. He seems to be going out with a bang.

The Raingods suite was great live. That was a great show.

I found the remastered version of Raingods and it included a couple live versions of "Plague"

[JKL2000]

^ A Plague of "A Plague of Ghosts!"

But in a good way....

"Sunsets on Empire" for me. Honorable mention to "Internal Exile"

[AndiSexgang]

Vigil and Internal Exile. His covers album was quite good too.

Been ages since I pulled that one out for a listen. Probably long overdue.
