In the end it was all PBB's doing, with reviewing their entire discog. It has brought CoF back to the forefront of our collective minds.

OK so yeah Manticore just started and it is instantly better. So much more diverse than Darkly. Kind of reminds me of Existence Is Futile actually.

Triple post: also I might have been underrating Existence is Futile. It might be on par with Crypt and Hammer.

Throwing on Hammer now. Seeing all this Cradle get bumped has me jamming. Great shit

Also I think An Enemy Led The Tempest is one of my fave Cradle tunes. Sooooooooo many great ones on here.
Also Serpent Tongue and Carrion and all of section IV (Mannequin, I Thank God For The Suffering and that ppeeeerfect another career high The Smoke Of Her Burning).

I relistened to Manticore last night and it wasn’t a successful listen. I think Paul Allender had run out of ideas by then

I dropped this a bit because a bit of the bloat was really getting to me today, but this one is still pretty underrated I think.

I do tend to skip the orchestral openings to each section of the album but other than that there’s no bloat here at all, every song bangs

Yeah I don't skip anything here. Fantastic album, one of my faves by them.

this takes me right back to 2003 and an era when I was just discovering metal. A little bloated, but such a great underrated album

Album Rating: 5.0
that's like asking me what's my fave chapter of a book lol
If I had to pick, Better Reign, Babylon, Mannequin, Thank God and Smoke. The whole thing is very consistent though
how about you

Album Rating: 4.5
Yes very consistent and I understand the difficulty.
Definitely Smoke and Suffering too, and Tempest, and probably Carrion.
And......... all of the others 🤭💖

This. Paul is one of my fav guitarists of all time but Darkly and Manticore can't be defended. Only duds in their discog.
Jamming this again now. I still love this band as much as I did 20 years ago lol. Will never stop being my favs. M///

Absolutely. There's so much to love here. And it might be one of Dani's most diverse performances.
