On the brief listen I had I didn't find it that captivating. I actually found to be rather mediocre. But that's just me, because I know another guy that loves the album. I think this albums lacks a bit in song-writing insofar as they have to have some diversity in terms of their leads in scaling them better and more effectively. I know it's PL trademark but maybe changing the formula just a small bit will give them different results which leaves more space and breathing room in between notes. |

Paradise Lost - Tragic Idol

Although I was ready to dismmiss this as nothing special, with repeated listens, and there are many more to come, I really enjoy this album. It contains many memorable riffs and some really cool
atmospheric moments. The guitar is definately a notch up from past releases and the result is Paradise Lost's heaviest release to date. "Theories From Another World"
is the perfect exemple for representing the album as a whole. Dynamique, atmospheric and one hell of an ending that will leave you wanting more. The title track "Tragic Idol" has some nice vocal inflections and variations that makes it also a standout. Crucify's guitar crunch and solo, Fear of Impending Hell's slow acoustic start combined with it's heavy chorus adds punch and variety to the album. An album definately worth investing time in. |

You leave me wondering if we're listening to the same albums with some of the comments you make.

Yep. Even with the Paradise Lost albums I like, I sure don't invest time in, because after all, it is basically the same formula with the same pop song structure. Theories From Another World is a cut above their standard fare, true, but Honesty in Death is some of their most lazy, predictable material. |
