Always adored these guys. Hard for me to make a list. My top three would probably be "Lifeblood for the Downtrodden", followed by "Sonic Excess..." and then the self titled.
I’ve been a fan of Crowbar since the 90s! You pretty much ranked the album’s close to what I would have! I think the new album is easily one of their top five best!🤘🏻
I just gave Crowbar’s new album a listen and it’s amazing. Crowbar is always great at bringing very heavy and chunky riffs. Here would be my ranking of their albums and they’re all so good: 12. Lifesblood for the Downtrodden 11. Equilibrium 10. Sonic Excess in Its Purest Form 9. The Serpent Only Lies 8. Symmetry in Black 7. Zero and Below 6. Sever the Wicked Hand 5. Time Heals Nothing 4. Obedience Thru Suffering 3. Broken Glass 2. Self-titled 1. Odd Fellows Rest
I first saw Crowbar in the early 90s opening for PANTERA but didn’t give it much thought. Flash forward to 5 years ago and I rediscovered them. Thinking to myself, WTF was I thinking!? Now I have every Cd they’ve put out. Saw them play just 3 weeks ago, great show!
I'm new to your channel... really enjoying your videos... very engaging presentation. Longtime Crowbar fan... you nailed the ranking, particularly the top three, although I have OFR at 1 by a whisker. Not sure if you're a Helmet fan but I'd be very interested in your opinion / ranking of their albums. Thanks for the great videos!
For me Crowbar has something of a Bolt Thrower effect to them. Sure, I can pick out records I find more outstanding than others, but they’re so consistent in quality that doing so becomes something of a task.
I grew to love Crowbar after seeing them with Killswitch Enagage and Born of Osiris in late 2018. They opened with "All I Had (I Gave), and closed with "Like Broken Glass." So awesome. I will check out the new record this weekend :)
Man I love crowbar fat man riffs all the way! It's so hard to pick a number 1 but I'd go with Odd Felows Rest it's the first album I listend to buy them, but as you said there all pretty fucking killer! Also that Dream weaver cover on equilibrium is so good though !!
For me personally (top 5) (I’m 17 and been listening now for uh, idk but around a year). 1.Odd Fellow Rest 2.Broken Glass 3.Zero and Below 4.Self Titled 5.Sonic Excess
Better late than never, nice video. Been a fan since around '96, and are one of my fave bands. Met Kirk a few times, great guy. Broken Glass would be my number 1 but they are so consistent. New album is their best for quite some time in my opinion, and its 2 years old!
Hey man. This is a great great ranking. You have a great handle on the band for being a new fan. Been a fan since I heard Phil produced the ST record lol. My top 3 are your top 3. Broken glass is my fav from them. The riffs on that record are ridiculous. I am waiting for my preorder to come in the mail, only heard the singles so far, but sounds like it’s another banger. Thanks man! 🤟
Cool ranking dude! I don’t know Crowbar either, so I’d go listen to ‘em now! And btw, since I’ve heard you mention New York Hardcore in a few videos, can we maybe get an Agnostic Front ranking?
My list is basically the same, with one big discrepancy 1. Odd Fellows Rest 2. Lifesblood for the downtrodden 3. Sonic excess in its purest form 4. Broken glass 5. Zero and Below 6. Crowbar 7. Sever the wicked hand 8. Time heals nothing 9. Symmetry in Black 10. Equilibrium 11. The Serpent only Lies 12. Obedience thru Suffering Even though lifesblood is the least crowbar album, i dont really care about band identites and such, as long as the music is good, i dont mind, and boy does lifesblood deliver. Holding something and new dawn are up there with my fav crowbar songs ever
Not sure if you know, but Phil Anselmo produced the self titled album. Might be why you heard a bit more of a hardcore vibe in it? 🤷♂️ Top 3 for me: 1. Sonic 2. S/T 3. Lifesblood
Crowbar is on my list of bands I really need to check out, I’ll definitely listen to the new album soon Have you heard the album when the kite string pops from acid bath? Incredible sludge record
This is the first crowbar album i listened to, and i really enjoyed it. i had only listened to the first two mastodon albums when it comes to sludge metal, and i think this is miuch better than remission and even gives leviathan a run for its money. Will definetly be tracking it back through their discography
I get what your saying about lifeblood but I really like it, also I saw them on that tour an got to meet kirk, which as also a down fan was awesome I meen Rex did do bass for that album so weather the groove was inspired by him and his bass style I dunno, great band though, the Kings of Sludge Metal
like broken glass is me fav.... buuut sonic excess is killer, and odd fellows, selt titled. i like most crowbar stuff, apart from SIB and TSOL. aint checked out new full album yet tho im likin few tracks iv heard, sounds lot better then the last few theve done. cool list tho man. from bham uk.
12) Sever The Wicked Hand 11) Lifesblood For The Downtrodden 10) Symmetry In Black 9) Obedience Thru Suffering 8) Time Heals Nothing 7) Zero And Below 6) The Serpent Only Lies 5) Equilibrium 4) S/T 3) Broken Glass 2) Odds Fellows Rest 1) Sonic Excess In Its Purest Form All Hail The Iommi of the swamp Kirk Windstein!
Crowbar is a lot like Motorhead or Cannibal Corpse... It's always pretty much the same album but it always fucking destroys! Symbiosis on Sever The Wicked Hand is probably my favorite Crowbar song. Odd Fellows Rest may have to be my #1 record...
Great band, their "worst" albums are still good. 12. Obedience Thru Suffering 11. The Serpent Only Lies 10. Time Heals Nothing 9. Zero and Below (solid album, first few tracks didn't really grab me, From Chemical Gods onwards it gets much better!) 8. Symmetry In Black (My first Crowbar album) 7. Lifesblood For The Downtrodden 6. Crowbar 5. Equilibrium 4. Sever the Wicked Hand 3. Odd Fellows Rest 2. Broken Glass 1. Sonic Excess in its Purist Form
Could you tell me. In descending order. Who cares about what you think? Please just release the list on your website. Thanks ! The Comments don't count.
Odd Fellows Rest was the album that got me into Crowbar and it’s still my favorite. Damn good Discog though
So heavy dude!
Always adored these guys. Hard for me to make a list. My top three would probably be "Lifeblood for the Downtrodden", followed by "Sonic Excess..." and then the self titled.
I've never listened to Crowbar much thanks for this video I'm sure it will help me to learn about them. Buzzov-en is still my fave sludge band.
I’ve been a fan of Crowbar since the 90s! You pretty much ranked the album’s close to what I would have! I think the new album is easily one of their top five best!🤘🏻
Nice! Guess I did well lol

Wtf is this ranking
@@chris42028 My ranking on Crowbar has changed a lot since I posted this but Odd Fellows Rest will always be my number 1.
Seeing these boys next week for the first time and never listened to them before. Timely video for me.
They are awesome live! Enjoy the show!
Nice! I’ll probably see them in their tour with gwar
I first saw Crowbar in the early 90s opening for PANTERA but didn’t give it much thought. Flash forward to 5 years ago and I rediscovered them. Thinking to myself, WTF was I thinking!? Now I have every Cd they’ve put out. Saw them play just 3 weeks ago, great show!
I wanted to catch that tour! I’ll see them eventually
Been getting into crowbar as well, can't believe I didn't listen to them back in the day.
So mad I’ve waited!

That’s such a weird tour lol super cool though
I love crowbar but can honestly say i haven't heard every album all the way through. Looking forward to watching this ranking.
They’re all a good time!
Man I love crowbar fat man riffs all the way! It's so hard to pick a number 1 but I'd go with Odd Felows Rest it's the first album I listend to buy them, but as you said there all pretty fucking killer!

Broken Glass is just so heavy!
Every album by crowbar rules
“Live By the Strong…Die By the Weak!”
Hey man. This is a great great ranking. You have a great handle on the band for being a new fan. Been a fan since I heard Phil produced the ST record lol. My top 3 are your top 3. Broken glass is my fav from them. The riffs on that record are ridiculous. I am waiting for my preorder to come in the mail, only heard the singles so far, but sounds like it’s another banger. Thanks man! 🤟
Heck yeah! Broken Glass goes so hard
And Suffer As One 👍👍
Cool ranking dude! I don’t know Crowbar either, so I’d go listen to ‘em now! And btw, since I’ve heard you mention New York Hardcore in a few videos, can we maybe get an Agnostic Front ranking?
Oooh that could be fun I’m a decently big fan of agnostic front!
My list is basically the same, with one big discrepancy
1. Odd Fellows Rest
2. Lifesblood for the downtrodden
3. Sonic excess in its purest form

6. Crowbar
7. Sever the wicked hand

Even though lifesblood is the least crowbar album, i dont really care about band identites and such, as long as the music is good, i dont mind, and boy does lifesblood deliver. Holding something and new dawn are up there with my fav crowbar songs ever
Odd fellows is Kirks best work. Hes a true riff beast
Not sure if you know, but Phil Anselmo produced the self titled album. Might be why you heard a bit more of a hardcore vibe in it? 🤷♂️
Top 3 for me:
1. Sonic
2. S/T
3. Lifesblood
Oh word that’s cool! Didn’t realize that
Crowbar is on my list of bands I really need to check out, I’ll definitely listen to the new album soon
Have you heard the album when the kite string pops from acid bath? Incredible sludge record
Love acid bath! Big fan of Sammy duet in general
Yep number 1 is my number 1. Crowbar is very hard to rank. Very hard.
This is the first crowbar album i listened to, and i really enjoyed it. i had only listened to the first two mastodon albums when it comes to sludge metal, and i think this is miuch better than remission and even gives leviathan a run for its money. Will definetly be tracking it back through their discography
It was definitely a fun discography to go through!
love this band! one of those bands ive always known is awesome but never delved into, as a big black sabbath and hatebreed fan this shit is fantastic
Those are 2 very good comparisons!
Just saw crowbar last week live in paris with sepultura , got totally into it , chunky riffs , love it
I knew Crowbar with the self titled record, I'd say it is my favourite.New one it is pretty good, the best of the latest records from them.
for sure!
I get what your saying about lifeblood but I really like it, also I saw them on that tour an got to meet kirk, which as also a down fan was awesome I meen Rex did do bass for that album so weather the groove was inspired by him and his bass style I dunno, great band though, the Kings of Sludge Metal
Oh wow didn’t realize Rex played on that!
Kirk is a riff God
Indeed he is!
like broken glass is me fav.... buuut sonic excess is killer, and odd fellows, selt titled. i like most crowbar stuff, apart from SIB and TSOL. aint checked out new full album yet tho im likin few tracks iv heard, sounds lot better then the last few theve done. cool list tho man. from bham uk.
