This is difficult for me, and I get asked for recommendations a lot since I'm a big fan of the band and I've even had some business with them in the past.

The truth is, all four of their albums are pretty distinct, and some people even hate some albums while loving others. For example, I am in love with their earlier work, which is darker, heavier, and more evil, but I'm not such a huge fan of their newer work, which is more radio-friendly, lighter, more ballad-esque. Bottom line is, they only have four albums, so if you have an afternoon you could figure out for yourself whether or not you dig the band. Additionally, if you were listening to a particular album and you don't dig the sound, you can skip to the next album and get something different from the same band.

I know that's a bad answer and not what you were looking for lmao. If you'd rather not do all that, a good "sampler platter" from each phase of the band may serve you:

I: Ritual, Stand By Him
II: Year Zero, Monstrance Clock
III: Cirice, Deus in Absentia
III.5: Square Hammer
IV: Rats, Witch Image
IV.5: Kiss the Go-Goat
