5.0 out of 5 stars Melodic, gloomy heavy metal masterpiece, February 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Crimson (Audio CD)

Easily my favorite Sentenced album ever. I own all of them from Shadow of the Past to Amok to Crimson. If you liked the previous 3 Sentenced albums, you'll love this one. More experimenting with vocal harmonies and tighter songs make this an instant classic. 11 truly great metal songs. If you're not a Sentenced fan, buy this! You will!

This is one of those albums that you kind of have to make yourself sit through in one listen, fighting the urge to maybe turn it off and put on something a bit happier. DON'T DO IT! Keep listening, and I guarantee that by the end of the disc, you'll hit 'repeat' and want to do it all over again. This is also one of those discs that I'd bet a dollar just keeps getting better with age, not unlike Paradise Lost's 'Draconian Times,' which another reviewer pointed out as a comparison to this.

Yes, it falls into a similar vein as Paradise Lost, dark, moody, unbelievably catchy and rhythmic hooks, somber lyrics and a depressed haunted atmosphere. But god damn this is a good rock album. I really hesitate to classify this as metal, because it's not really. Sure loud, driving guitars and metallic melodies permeate the whole record, but this just ain't metal. It's damn good though. One of the other reviewers also hit the nail on the head by stating tracks 4-7 were the golden nugget at the epicenter of this delicious gem of a disc; "Broken," "Killing Me, Killing You," (my fave on the album) "Dead Moon Rising" and "No More Beating as One" are all very strong songs. Throw in the opener, "Bleed in My Arms" and the gorgeous, lilting "The River," and you've got a memorable album with hooks that sing their teeth in you and won't let go.

I could see many, many different types of musical taste getting into this album. If you're a fan of melody and good music, you really ought to give this a try.
