"Nighttime Birds" is another beautiful chapter in the story of The Gathering. After the slight downfall with the "Almost A Dance" period the band found themselves again and discovered the beautiful voice of Anneke Van Giersbergen to carry on the sounds of the group's creation. After "Mandylion" which was still similar to the doom style of "Always", Nighttime Birds, their second album to feature Anneke as lead vocalist is a step closer to atmospheric Gothic metal.

A personal favourite, and a powerful exit to their 'Progressive metal' era, before treading into poppier and more alt.rock territory. Outstanding album, with songs like 'Shrink' and 'New Moon, different day' proving beautiful.

Extremely overrated album. Musically it's great, but the lyrics are laughably bad and really bring this album down for me. Mandylion and Always... are better than this for sure.
