On the slow grind to Paradise Lost completion, only like 9 albums to go

So far it's prolly like Draconian Times>Obsidian>The Plague Within>This>Medusa

Album Rating: 4.0

my man! you got the top 2 right at least. I'm sure your top 5 will change after you hear In Requiem, Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us, the S/T and Icon, but so far so good!

Album Rating: 3.5

The Plague Within is their best imo (Draconian Times is nr. 2). Symbol of Life is somewhere in the middle

utter sacrilege, but I'll allow it because Plague rules

Plague is like

More mellow Obsidian which is like

The chunkiest riffiest thing I've heard by them yet

And boy do I like my chunky riffage



I can't help but mentally equate these bands as being like the big four of goth rock/metal with leanings that equate to the their thrash metal counterparts i.e Katatonia for placatedness but consistency i.e Metallica Paradise Lost for consistency but a modest drop in ownage i.e Anthrax Anathema for the ability to creative a few albums of bona fide beauty then drop off abot hard i.e Megadeth and then My Dying Bride for leaning the hardest into Gothic melodramatic tendencies no matter the cost of repetition i.e Slayer

idk why everyone slathers obsidians cocks so much honestly, the appeal of that album still kinda evades me.

I like this album a lot and I'm glad people seem to appreciate it more now than when it came out.



I do find it funny that Paradise Lost went from being hailed as the British Metallica in 1994 to doing Bronski Beat covers in a matter of like 5 years. The industrial/electro-metal movement really inspired them apparently. I like to think they were listening to Candyass by Orgy on repeat lol

Album slays indeed.

Objectively my favorite Paradise Lost album, but in rankings I'd put it behind the original Icon release.

From what I recall its reception wasn't that bad, at least compared to Host and BiN. The distortion was back, Nick's voice was more raspy on some songs and on top of that, they got fu***ing Devin Townsend and Lee Dorian doing backing vocals.

Thats true, I also didn’t care for those albums much at the time, so maybe that tints my perspective a bit.
