| Dead Can Dance Albums Ranked
DCD has been disbanded since 1996 but their legacy lives on. Here's ra list of their albums rranked.rIt's true that ranking DCD albums is like admitting which of your children are your rfavorites... rTough task... | | 8 |  | Dead Can Dance
Dead Can Dance
Their debut album was also their most "poppy" if there's such a thing for DCD... | | 7 |  | Dead Can Dance
Spleen And Ideal
Favorite songs: "Advent" and "De Profundis (out of the depths of sorrow)" | | 6 | | Dead Can Dance
The Serpent's Egg
"Host of Seraphim" will melt your crusty soul. "Writing of my father's hand" is
also fantastic" | | 5 |  | Dead Can Dance
Spiritchaser
This is the Swan's Song album for DCD. A bit uneven but it contains my absolute
favorite back to back pair of songs: "Indus" and "Song of the Dispossessed". An
absolutely divine 14 minute piece of Nirvana. If you have a full range audio system,
crank it up. The recording quality is stupendous and the bass drum is heart-
massaging. | | 4 |  | Dead Can Dance
Aion
This is the most "medieval" sounding of their releases. Fantastic. The fact that
Lisa sings in over 5 languages (often within the same song) is absolutely mind-
numbing. | | 3 |  | Dead Can Dance
Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun
Any album that contains the divine "Summoning of the Muse" has to rank up
here... All the other songs are also fantastic. | | 2 |  | Dead Can Dance
Toward the Within
This is a live album that was recorded as one piece and you'd swear it was a
studio album that took 3 months to record. Exceptional. | | 1 |  | Dead Can Dance
Into The Labyrinth
DCD's 6th album (1993) was actually written on two continents with Perry and
Gerrard living and writing separately. Favorite song: "Tell me about the forest (you
once called home). Awesome album from start to finish. | |

09.19.11 | Nice!
1, 2, 3 and 4 are all fantastic. 7 is great as well | Jethro42
09.19.11 | It seems good music lovers are absent. | omnipanzer
09.19.11 | Haven't heard that name in years. | andrikos
09.20.11 | They're supposed to tour next Summer and record a new album by late 2012. Wow, can't wait! | Fluorine
09.26.11 | I have a hard time saying this because I have so many important favourites, but Within the Realm of a Dying Sun is probably my #1 album of all music. (Seems hyperbolic, yes?)
Concerning this list, I think Spleen and Ideal should be above Aion and Serpent's Egg, but it doesn't really matter. | Jethro42
09.26.11 | Aion > Spleen and Ideal | andrikos
09.28.11 | Fluorine, no it doesn't seem hyperbolic. you chose greatness as your most important. You have nothing to worry about... ;) | Emim
09.28.11 | Only heard 6 and 3, but they are pretty great. | andrikos
09.29.11 | Emim, if anything check out the 3-cd boxset. It has all their greatest of great songs and also adds a few that are unreleased up to that point. "The Lotus Eaters" in particular is amazing. |
