Holmes doesn't sound tired at all though?

It was okay on last desert sessions...ahah

Nah, I mean the way he does the growls and what the other people in this thread perceive as lack of power. He obviously doesn't do them like on the first two records, he sounded vile there.

Album Rating: 5.0

Yes, but he injects enough melancholy into his voice to complement the music perfectly

he seems like an old man giving you advice. I like the growls tho

This made me laugh out loud (:

Old Nick giving advice on how to doom

Album Rating: 5.0

He often sounds like he's sick of the world and about to die, especially on stuff like "Beneath Broken Earth". That's actually welcome for death-doom, lol.

Album Rating: 3.5

Vocals in early times were one of the strong points of PL, now this album is good despite the vocals, not because of it. The clean vocals grew on me a bit, but still far from Draconian times greatness...

Anyway Ghosts and Hope Dies young are such great jams.



@EvoMorales: If this drum sound is among their best, I am glad that I haven't heard their other recent stuff. They are sounding sterile and artificially powerful ... that's fine for a lot of music, but not for warm and melancholic Goth Metal, taking the organic feel out of the music

" now this album is good despite the vocals, not because of it"



[2] a bit sad when you remember Tragic Idol where he sounded amazing.

GOD ASKS NOT TO KILL



GODLESS SWORN TO KILL



Can't get enough of that chorus. Wish they repeated it once again before the solo

Album Rating: 3.5

nick's vocals are just 'fine' to me.



i'm sticking with my rating. it doesn't blow me away but it's a hell of a ride when i spin it - it's like a more infectious enjoyable counterpart to their last record which was far more downtrodden.

I'm starting to feel like the only person on this website who loves Nick Holmes's vocals lol

Album Rating: 4.5

I fucking love his vocals. Can't imagine PL with anyone else.

@Donchivo

That name association, lmao. I guess I am more tolerant of that drum sound you describe. There are some instances where it can bother me too, but this album certainly isn't one of them.

@Axe

It's true that Tragic Idol and Faith have some of his best cleans.

@Hell and Chaotic

I love them too.

"Old Nick giving advice on how to doom" Precisely! As in the school of Doom!

Album Rating: 4.5

@Heck

I love his vocals too, you're not alone.

Album Rating: 5.0

Man I love the vox here, I think they fit the music perfectly. The cleans sound fresher than in a very long time, like he's giving us something new. And the growls sound better than ever, at least to me. I'm pretty biased tho, he's one of my favorite vocalists.

Wouldn't want a PL album without Nick
