Not to mention that in this album they start to abandom their ''death'' feature, and become more and more gothic/doom, the songs are catchier also. But it is still pretty heavy compared to their latest releases.
Excellent album, hard to find any bad songs.

Performance: 10
Songwriting: 10
Originality: 10
Production: 10
I cant udnerstand it to be honest, cause Songwriting is not as well as ex albums for sure. Embers Fire and Widow are nice songs but I cant compare them with "As I Die" or "Gothic" or "The Painless" or "Rotting Misery" not evn "Internal Torment II".
Production is much better in this album and performance is nice either. and its Original enough. but Album hasnt the Atmosphere of big albums a very Special song (as you can find in Gothic album)
the other thing about this album's rating is that our friend knew about Draconian Times for sure (which has the same atmosphere) cause he has wrote this review after the release of "Draconian Times", so if this album deserves a 10,10,10,10. then I dont know how can we vote for Draconian Times.
all in all nice album and review but this is not the best Gothic album ever or the best album of Paradise Lost in my opinion. Draconian Times is the nice Version of this album I think.
Christendom, Widow and Embers Fire is my favorite songs in this album.

1. it's all about taste. i love all the songs of this album.
2.this phrase is totally wrong. think about it again.
3.draconian maybe gets a 10 too but i dont know i find this one more atmospheric.

Im agree, your taste says this is a masterpiece its ok.
but I didnt say that these are Atmospheric alums. I said they have same atmosphere. I cant see any atmospheric elements on these 2 albums.

I'm glad somebody give this album such high points. back in 90s, less information about the music you like in your surrounding community, and I remember listened this album over and over again, for it was so good. and without other person telling you , or a reviews, that it is indeed a good music. not a very bad taste back then...
love this one, very influental and I will remember this as long as I live.

Written by Guest on 11.11.2011 at 22:00 Though this wasn't one of the first metal experiences I had, but totally the one that opened the whole field of metal, the whole culture, back in the nineties. Thanks Icon.
Not a bad gateway album by any means. Better than where I started.

Written by Guest on 11.11.2011 at 22:22 Dunno is it that bad. Maybe at that stage it isn't the most fabulous
It's not as good a starting point as this album, that's for sure.

"Shades Of God" is my fave Paradise Lost album, but this one is almost as awesome.

I haven't listened to anything from Slipknot, but I heard that they were pretty cool 10 years ago.

Oh and, I think "Gothic" is better than this, still would rate it pretty high but not on my favorite albums. Need to return to this because it's been over a year I gave this album a listen.

This is one of my all time favorite album. strange because I rarely listen to gothic metal, but this album absolutely fantastic. for many years, I literally sleep while listening to Icon and Draconian Times. I was teenage in '90s and do not know much about metal genre. meaning this album won my "innocence" years back then. your review re-open my eyes about this album.
