1.0 out of 5 stars damnation and a day ( Japanese import version ), April 23, 2003

I first of all have to say I have been a huge cradle of filth fan for many years. The album damnation and a day is great my rating on this does not reflect the music on the album but it is a direct response to the import Japanese version with quote unquote extra tracks. if I could id give the music on the album 4 stars, but as for this version of the cd it gets one star. there is nothing special about this album the extra track mentioned is the musical piece " end of days " this track is available on the 15 dollar version of the album. the only things you can expect to be extra with this version are
1. A extra book of the lyrics written in Japanese
2. The cardboard spine that will come covering the side of the cd
3. 2 stickers that are on the cd packaging, one of the stickers say made in Japan, and the other has some Japanese writing with the words Party-Dude written in English in the middle of all the Japanese

for all you people who are considering buying this version may I suggest instead buying the regular American release version

4.0 out of 5 stars for those unsure about buying this one....read this, May 28, 2003

This review is from: Damnation & A Day (Audio CD)

I will admit, i am not a HUGE cradle of filth fan, nor was i ever. However since roughly 1995 ive kept my eye on COF so to speak. Every album that comes out by COF caught my attention and i always ended up listening to a few songs, but never buying an album. I didnt buy them mostly becasue they were overpriced and hard to find and becasue i just never found a reason to buy one. but ive always enjoyed their odd charm. Recently i saw "damnation..." ..., so i picked it up and after 3 straight through listenings, i can say that COF is a solid band. The first thing that i noticed was dani's banshee'esque screams, which can throw one off upon a first listen, and the excellent song structure that the band posesses. One more thing that throws me off is the opera-like choir singing that at times soungs a little cheezy. However, if you sit down uninteruppted (like in a car ride) and listen to most of the album straight through. You will be taken on a excellent and interesting musical ride. The addition of a full orchestra greatly adds to the sound and the songs which are fair in length take bounds and leaps and are not repetative, keeping the listener enthralled for the whole 77 minutes. So, if you're into metal and are looking for a completly different experience then this album is for you, but i must warn, that this album is not for everyone nor was it written for everyone. This isn't a song to song album, but a full concept connected album covering everything from classical pieces to blastbeats and screams of agony. So if youre not a fan take a chance and you just might find a nice treat for your ears...and if youre a fan of COF this album will meet all your demands. Enjoy.

This is the first Cd that i heard by COF. To tell the truth i really do like them. The CD from the first song to the last is like a horror theatric show done in music. I'm not much on alot of black metal and gothic metal but this band is in a catergory all by themselves. I like the style they present their music. I just got this Cd today and have heard it front to back. I was impressed considering i heard they are not really good and the screaming gets old. But Dani mixes everything up pretty good i think. They are the type that requires a taste for but i do like the way they put it together and for anybody that want a ride through the darkness then i say get this band and try them out. A real good starter for a person just curious about COF.
