Let Us Prey is the only EW Masterpiece IMO. The original not the remaster. There is just something imperfectly perfect about everything that is that album.
Somehow I missed this one.
Personally, I think LUP is the underachiever of Electric Wizard 1.0. The self-titled is definitely the red-headed stepchild, and CMF and Dopethrone are impossible to pick between.
That could just be because I don't own Let Us Prey, though.

If you don't own it I suggest acquiring it (the original master version), smoking as much hashish as your body can handle, and then lisenting to that album. Then report back.
But then again everyones tastes are different.

The remaster has less "low end and overall mud", basically it sounds cleaner and more refined. While the main reason I love the first master is how thick and raw it sounds.
Its like comparing Converge's Jane Doe to Axe to Fall. Sure ATF sounds cleaner, more audible and overall more "professional" but JD's raw tone and analog distortion in parts just add's something to the overall experience that I feel is lacking in ATF.

I bought it when it came out on CD and it's probably one of my most listened to albums from them, along with Dopethrone. New stuff is hit or miss for me, but I always enjoy those two albums. They always kind of vary from album to album, in small ways, then over time it feels like a huge shift in style. Even though it still has the same basic type of riffs, LUP sounds less like sabbath jams and more sludge influenced to me, which I dig. A little more dense, a little meaner.

I concur! They started off more 70's psych then moved into more sludgey stuff then V2.0 was a very different band, and really not in a bad way IMO. Writing with two guitarists definitely helped fill out their sound and add some ambience that I think accents Jus's writing style well. And I couldn't have described LUP any better (A little more dense, a little meaner.." Spot On.
