| Sounds good... I'm looking forward to listening this album... |
|
|
|
| I've got this album. It's really great, a real pleasure for ears. Paradise Lost at the top. |

I agree with you 100% here... their last album had the "hope" of being back to their roots but quickly has been forgotten witih me. This new CD, however, is mature and inspired from beginning to end. I would say they've created a new version of their past successes, and this CD really stands as one of their best releases of their career  |

well, PL have gone back to a heavier sound, but the album is very uninspired, I would say almost boring. It's not bad, but very derivative. "Fallen children" has even symphonic elements in it! And, come on, jupitreas, "Prelude To Descent" a full-fledged doom-metal dirge? Have you ever listened to proper doom metal? To me, they sound like Metallica... and I couldn't hear any growling on the album...  |

I totally agree with you. Okay so this PL album is better than the last couple of sorry efforts, but it is still average and uninspired (like you said)
And yes Prelude To Descent also reminds me of Metalllica (Load - Reload era) |

Ah, I thought nobody would agree with me.... I must stress that it's an ok album, much better than the previous efforts, but still very disappointing, specially because is so derivative. Like they have forgotten how to be original. |

| Really a great album. The more I listen to it the more I love it. My favorite song is, despite it's "pop" appearance, Beneath Black Skies. Ash & Depris is also mindblowing song. I just love the hole album. Can't say anything more. |

| I can't find anything interesting about this album at all. The songs are bland and instantly forgettable, the lyrics are terrible, and the Everything But the Girl cover is simply awful. I love Paradise Lost, but I just cannot find anything nice to say about this album. |
|
|
|
| This is certainly teh continuation of the new "era" started with their previous release. Great album. no wonder it was nominated for the awards this year |
|
|

To be honest, I dislike the album. It just didnt' grab me and I felt the songs weren't all that good.
But I was never really a big Paradise Lost fan and they never interested me that much, so maybe, its a bit of that too. |

I'm a PL fan, and I have to say that I agree with you, I couldn't feel anything after hearing the album.
I will give it a 7 or something like that.
The good albums are the old ones [but Host is the exception... Since I love that album.] |

No man this album is great! Surely it has a more modern style that the old albums but that does not mean that this makes it not perfect. After many listenings you'll love it. But the most important thing is you must not be opinionated.. Gothic Kings are back in their throne... |

The problem was that I disliked their s/t a bit... Since I found it very unispired. And after listening to a couple of songs from this album and I found them in the same vein but a bit better. Maybe I will check them out again. |

| Perfect album! Excellent review. I've found my new favorite PL album. Sometime ago I couldn't imagine that some of their new stuff would turn out to be my favorite! Nice |
|
|

Now we're talking PL!!! A darn good album released in quite a while...
"Beneath Black Skies" and "Never For The Damned" are two great songs with which they have signaled their return... |

| To be honest I really couldnt listen to any albums after Draconian Times. One Second, Host, Believe In Nothing and Symbol of Life. Paradise Lost was a disappointment for sure but with metal style. then they released In Requiem. yes this is very better than ex works after Draconian Times. I like this album. |
