5.0 out of 5 stars The Lotus Takes Over This Bitch!, November 5, 2005

For my money, Black Rain is superior in every way to the original Dark Lotus album. One can tell the Lotus has grown a group, both lyrically and creatively. The six Petals of the Lotus send the dark rain falling upon your cranium with tales of the dark spiritual (i.e., Consume Your Soul, Corrosion), hauntings (i.e., Hell House), loss of sanity (i.e., She Was, My 1st Time, Pass the Ax), and what it means to be a keeper of the Lotus (i.e., Under the Lotus, With the Lotus, Death Don't Want You). Let's not forget "Doornail Dorothy," the neighborhood corpse who is just dying to quench your sexual fires. But my absolute favorite Black Rain tale is "The Walls," perfect in every way, from the lyrics to the tunes to the story. There are many ways to describe this song, but basically it's about the world's worst mental institution......your own mind! Expect to hear tales of darkness and devestation, but of inspiration as well. (Only if you're a juggalo, though. If you're not a juggalo, DON'T expect to find inspiration on this album.) If you want to hear Dark Lotus at their best thus far, get the Black Rain album immediately!

This Cd Is Great Better than Both versions of Tales From The Lotus Pod. this cd is darker and scarier than the first 2 lotus albums this cd is so wicked with songs like Pass The Axe, The Walls and Wickedest of all My 1st time. if you liked either versions of lotus pod you will love black rain.

4.0 out of 5 stars The lotus is back...., April 25, 2004

By

This review is from: Black Rain (Audio CD)

The is not better or worst than TFTLP..Its in ITS Own catagory. Onto my review..

1)Under The lotus--Great intro. Sets the tone nicely.

2)Black Rain--A little more paced than it should have been after the intro. Yet still cool. (Best Verse---Monoxide)

3)Ka-boom--Good beat,lyrics could be better excetp Jamie. (B.v. Madrox)

4)Thats me--One of the rare tracks with guitar riffs. Great back and forth flowing. (B.v. Monoxide)

5)Consume your soul--One of the darker tracks. Great. (B.v Oddly ABK)

6)She Was--Three members talked about a girl, Three about a gun. Nice (B.v Monoxide)

7)Corrosion--Reminds me of 'Swarm' from TFTLP. One of the better beats. (B.V Tie between Monoxide and Madrox)

8)My 1st Time--MY FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM. This is classic Psycopathic wickedness.They all Equally ripped this track (My favorite verses Violent J and MADROX)

9)With The lotus--Everthing except the ANNOYING chrous ruled about this song. They all go back and forth with their verses. It reminds me of TFLTP slightly

10)Hell house--Should have been on Psycopathics from outer space part 2. Doesnt fit here

11)Jump Off---Waste of a track.I dont like this one at all.

12)The Walls---Classic. This is what Lotus is about. Dark yet story told. I love it. (B.V Violent J and Madrox)

13)Doornail Dorothy--I guess they needed a funny track. THIS WAS NOT FUNNY IT WAS A WASTE...

14)Pass the ax--This is the 2nd best song on the album. They did great on this with the beat. It changes with each member. MONOXIDE RIPPED IT. (B.V Monoxide hands down)

15)Death dont want you---I expected a DARK track with the title. BUT this is the Juggalo track that every Psyco' album has. Juggalo Family from TFTLP beats this easy.

OverALL this is a great album. I bought three copies HONESTLY. I cant wait FOR Hells Pit.
