Nahh that's probably Pain of Salvation's Accelerator.

I hadn’t listened to the second half yet but the first half kicks absolute butt cheeks.

"greatest opening song to any album in 2020"



Facts. Their openers are always incredible

Album Rating: 5.0

no doubt but this one takes the cake

Album Rating: 3.0

Cmon dude... Enchantment, Mortals Watch the Day, Gothic, Never for the Damned and even Fearless Sky shit all over Darker Thoughts.

Album Rating: 4.5

The fact the band have been knocking around for thirty years and Darker Thoughts along with this album itself are still contenders is what it’s all about.

Fucking whippets mate grumble grumble



Definitely a top five ranker from the lads

"Cmon dude... Enchantment, Mortals Watch the Day, Gothic, Never for the Damned and even Fearless Sky shit all over Darker Thoughts"



Enchantment maybe. The rest nah

Speaking of late PL I'd take As Horizons End over Darker Thoughts, especially for that bridge/solo and the way the lead guitar enters the song in the beginning which is just monumental.

"Cmon dude... Enchantment, Mortals Watch the Day, Gothic, Never for the Damned and even Fearless Sky shit all over Darker Thoughts."
Wouldn't say "shit on" but yeah Enchantment, Mortals Watch the Day and Gothic are better for me too. What they lack in maturity they more than make up with either ambition or plain rocking hard.

On the other side, if I had to pick their most underrated opener I'd probably say I Am Nothing, one of Mackintosh's catchiest themes ever

Album Rating: 3.0

Used to love I am Nothing back in the day. Still dig it even if not as much as it used to be.

I never fully dig a Paradise Lost album. Should probably start soon.
Best way to dig the discog? chronologically or?

Album Rating: 4.0

Start with The Plague Within and Draconian Times

Thanx bud

Add at least Gothic's t/t for importance

Nice, noted

If you end up enjoying your stay I'd suggest to go chrono, quality is bound to fluctuate (the debut being one of the most divisive albums) but you really can't say they don't change it up often. The discography makes for a surprisingly seamless trip to many shades of gothness

Album Rating: 3.0

I don't think they ever did 2 similar albums in a row. But yeah its one hell of a ride their discog.



"the debut being one of the most divisive albums"



It's a fun listen and the atmosphere is awesome, kinda like Autopsy going full doom. Not sure if any of the tracks standout though.

Diverse fun ride ahead, nice.

Album Rating: 5.0

Start with this, as this encapsulates their whole career, TPW is not nearly as diverse as this



And Dreamflight, this doesn't shit over the other openers, it's just better than all of them
