Description

Double album on black and white bi-coloured vinyls. Limited 500 copies

No doubt fans of Paradise Lost’s older material were collectively scratching their noggins when the band released ‘One Second’ in ’97. The album marked a drastic change in style, perhaps abandoning the metal genre completely with it’s synthesizers, the Pop-ish vocals and quiet to non-existant guitars. Well, some might find comfort in knowing that by 2001 the band has thrown the guitars back into the mix, but the band’s new style still remains intact for this their eight studio album. The music is infectious. These songs seem to grab you by the head and whisper in your ear, ‘Sing along to us’. From start to finish, the album delivers and shows us a more cohesive and perfected Paradise Lost, like they’re finally comfortable with their new style. Holmes has developed into quite a singer, but his ‘radio-friendly’ voice might turn off some, which might make or break this album for you because the vocals are pretty much the most prominent thing here.
