The Best Collection I The Best Collection I is Hurd's debut album. Recorded between the years of 1993–1995, and released along with
The Best Collection II, it is considered to be one of the first heavy metal albums in Mongolian music history. It contains such hit songs as , and
Eejdee, which are hugely popular among Mongolian music lovers, and are frequently included in the live set. 5 songs from
The Best Collection I were re-arranged and played acoustically during the 1998
Unplugged concert. Hurd released their first
music video for
Chono, where the band is seen playing the song near an abandoned factory. It also contains numerous battle scenes from a 1945 movie about
Tsogt Taij. It is told that the band members grew quickly tired and behaved impatiently during the filming, as they were not yet familiar with the process. Mongolian traditional music instruments were used for the recording of
Bakharkhal, most notably the
Morin khuur. This song is among the first in a long list of patriotic songs written by Hurd.

The Best Collection II The Best Collection II is Hurd's second studio album. It was recorded and released in conjunction with
The Best Collection I, and as a result the two albums are sometimes seen together as a double album. Compared to its counterpart, the style and lyrical theme of
The Best Collection II is somewhat darker (dealing with night, darkness, fear, cemetery, ...), and the songs are rather fast-paced, with
Khar darsan züüd being one of the fastest songs in Hurd's repertoire. The hugely successful
Tsergiin bodol ("Soldier's Thoughts") is considered a classic and allowed the band to reach celebrity. The song was written by Dambyn Ganbold, the older brother of founder Ganbayar, in 1978, while he was in military service, his fellow soldiers helping him up on the lyrics. It is told that, during a performance in an all-star concert, Hurd had a 3-song setlist that included
Tsergiin bodol, but under popular demand they ended up playing the song three times in a row. Other famous songs from the album include
Baga nas,
Zurag shig büsgüi and ''Nulimsaa tevch'ye''. Hurd's 1998
Unplugged acoustic concert includes no less than 8 songs from
The Best Collection II.

Myangan Jild Gants Myangan Jild Gants (, "once in a thousand years") is Hurd's fourth studio album. In this album, besides their usual
rock ballads and
heavy metal songs, Hurd has made their first attempts of writing
nu metal material. That can be attested by such songs as
Üg sons or
Gar utas, as some of the singing is
rapped and there is some use of
turntables. Hurd would continue the rap rock theme on their song "Sain muu", on the followup album
Mongold Törsön. ''Khelekh n' khegjüün'' is the fastest and also the shortest song in all of Hurd's catalog.
Shine jil is an outtake from the
Best Collection sessions and previously appeared on
The Best Collection 3.

Mongold Törsön Mongold Törsön (, "born in Mongolia") is Hurd's fifth studio album. According to the band's comments in the
Enhanced CD section, they wanted to make a softer sounding album and try out different
rock music genres. For the first time, Hurd has written songs in
rock and roll style. Also notable is the collaboration with
hip-hop artists
Ice Top,
Digital and
2 Khüü on
Sain muu. ''Nutag min' ünertdeg'' features two famous
Mongolian wrestling champions G. Ösökhbayar and D. Mönkh-Erdene. The band also comments that
Mongold Törsön was specially dedicated to all the Mongolians living abroad. Indeed, the
overarching theme of the album is family,
homeland, and
national pride. In 2004, Hurd's tour supporting
Mongold Törsön in
Inner Mongolia was cancelled, as reportedly the Chinese authorities feared
civil unrest. The song ''Rock n' roll
was later retitled to Namaig toogoogüi büsgüid bayar khürgeye'' (Намайг тоогоогүй бүсгүйд баяр хүргэе).
