Again, this is my opinion it is not designed to be definitive. What is the best Ghost album to date then? What follows is my own personal take on which Ghost album is best – I’ve ranked them in order, so we start with my least favorite (the worst, if you will) and then move on until we come to my personal favorite (the best). But as a band, Ghost starts and ends with Forge. But Forge is the sole songwriter in Ghost he runs it in the same way Trent Reznor does Nine Inch Nails – he uses session musicians, called the Nameless Ghouls, on the road and in the studio. Usually, a band is a collaborative effort. I loved the style, the guitar sound, the riffs, the bass lines, and the use of organ – it was spooky-sounding, heavy, and completely different from anything else at the time (despite its obvious influences – Alice Cooper, KISS, and 1970s heavy metal/rock in general).įronted by Tobias Forge, he also writes all the music, Ghost is something of an oddity in today’s music scene. I’ve been a big fan of Ghost ever since its debut, Opus Eponymous, dropped in 2010. But this is to be expected the band’s trajectory for the past few years has been unashamedly heading in this direction for better or worse. Thematically, IMPERA is more classic rock than metal. The band’s latest album, IMPERA, is now official, picking up where 2018’s Prequelle left off. But what is the best Ghost album and which is the worst? Here’s my two cents… The band now has five studio albums under its belt.
