I was listening to Paradise Lost's Icon and it amazes me how much better they sound than on say Lost Paradise or Gothic. I really put it down to the fact that they got rid of the growling and replaced it with a more Hetfield-esque approaching by giving it a more dynamic vibe. I always found Gothic and Lost Paradise a bit dull and monotone - in the end I got rid of both of them. Even the modern non-growly versions of the older stuff on The Anatomy of Melancholy sounds better without a more clean sung approach. |

Icon, Draconian Times (this might have the most of the 3 mentioned), even In Requiem are light if not entirely lacking on the growls and better for it. |

The vocals improved, agreed. However, Mackintosh's guitar tone was the best on Gothic, and I only ever listened to Paradise Lost for his sound. |

totally depends on what you (generally) prefer or even your mood at the moment. Icon is a great album, but sometimes i just can't stand it (exept "Christendom" which is an absolute masterpiece). Anyway Gothic was always my first choice. |

I'm rather partial to the last two albums 'Faith Divides...' and 'In Requiem'. |

I've liked everything Paradise Lost have released from One Second onwards, even Host was pretty good. Their last 2 albums are a nice combination of old and new, but my favourite era is the S/T album, Symbol Of Life and Believe In Nothing |
