Still need to check this.

Is this one of their best?

No it's terrible Pleb. This is just some sad old men trying to stay relevant by hopelessly recreating the sound of their glory days.

Hope Dies Young is like the ultimate goth rocker

2020's finest metal offering. I'm quite a big Paradise Lost fan and Obsidian has quite a lot of competition in my eyes, but this could well be their second best release, behind Draconian Times.



If I ever get back into playing the guitar, I'm going to buy an effects pedal to make it wail like Gregor's (or at least massacre his signature sound).

That is a very fine choice. Love that sound.

Well it's certainly a step up from my last desired effects pedal - Dan Donegan's 'The Weapon'.



(can you tell how long it has been since I last played properly?)

Still can't see what's all the fuzz about it. :/



I mean it's better than Tragic Idol but TPW and Medusa shit all over this.

I don't get the fuzz about Medusa, so I bet this is one of those 'personal taste' things.

I guess so.



It pisses me off because almost every song here has the potential to become a favourite, however for some reason I get bored with them.

Not loving Darker Thoughts should indeed piss you off.

I need to give it another listen, but Medusa is definitely in the lower reaches if I ordered all PL albums by preference, didn't really get it much either.

Medusa is a "less is more" approach that kinda worked for them. Greg's leads and solos are some of his best imo.

yeah Medusa and TPW are both better than this one for sure but this record is still pretty solid
