Hell no Storm lol.



But yeah the debut is underrated as fuck. These dudes were doing gothic bm before most people knew it existed. Pretty much every track on that album is classic Cradle.

I see that 4.5 on Nymphetamine, Teacup. Which means this has to be a 5. DO IT.

Manticore and Darkly are the only bad albums these dudes have ever released. Everything else rules hard.

Agreed although I think the back half of Nymphetamine is quite weak. Inevitable crash after the overdose perhaps

Ehhhhhh idk first half is def stronger but I don’t think it falls off that bad. It’s pretty consistent.

The back half rules other than the last 2-3 songs. I'm usually fatigued by that point, but Medusa, Coffin Fodder and English Fire slay.

Swanson for a Raven is amazing too, one of their best songs.

Hmm it could be fatigue. I'll check 2nd half again by itself. I forgot Doug Bradley is on here. CoF+DB is like PB+J

I never really got the hype for Swansong. The piano reprise at the end is thrilling but the song overall doesn't live up to Her Ghost imo.

I dont think you can really compare the two songs on the spoken intro alone. Ghost is the song that catapulted CoF to international fame and will always be a classic. DB has been involved in much more than those two songs.

Her Ghost in the Fog is def better but it’s a great continuance imo. Idk I love it.

Agreed, band has released so many great ones and are on a great streak again, something I never saw coming anymore.

Exactly. Them releasing two of their best records after 15 years of not believing that would ever happen again is the best thing to be proven wrong on.
