I vote for ICP from a purely narrirative standpoint. Think of it as a story, starting with Carnival of Carnage and ending with The Wraith: Shangri La. They set up the story, had foreshadowing, they were consistant with style and themes, showed change in characters (the evolution from eating dead bodies to things like "Fly Away", "Nothing Left" and the intro to The Wraith), followed through with everything, and gave a satisfying (and somewhat of a twist) ending. It wasn't anti-climactic, it didn't alienate the true fans, it gets a lot of flack that it shouldn't just because people don't have a sense of context, and will most of the time either overanalyze things the wrong way, or only look at the surface.
