Damn, strong round, hard to leave anyone without points. That Burzum cover has been with me since childhood, so it has to be the one.

Opeth and Candlemass side by side on top of the ladder. Very interesting! But Yes is quite near and also Burzum could climb higher. In Flames still at the bottom and they can hear sounds of a tournament fading.

14 Opeth - Blackwater Park +3

8 Burzum - Filosofem +1
8 Yes - Relayer
7 In Flames - Sounds of a Playground Fading +2

This one is also a weaker round because to me it’s marked by albums that are not good representatives for their bands. Nightfall has a much better cover than Ancient Dreams. Close to the Edge, Fragile, Yessongs, and Tales from Topographic Oceans are all better covers than Relayer. Still Life is already in the game but I would take Ghost Reveries over Blackwater Park, too.

We need voters to break the bottom Yes Flames tie.

 

[Kalata]

Yes' Relayer has a curious choice of colors, but it works so well for the idea. Their colorful and cartoonish covers are a cool trademark. Candelmass' Ancient Dreams is pure landscape and it's nice ofc. Both are captivating in their own way.
