This is he greatest goth recording ever produced.Rozz Williams has a beautiful dark soul and voice,may he rest in peace.When I was in high school,I bought my first Death c.d.,well tape back then.The music gave me a certain warm,dark,lonley feeling that I really liked,and...well the rest is history.Rozz started the band when he was only 16.This is my all time favorite album.But if you want to get some other really good Christian Death recordings,"The rage of angels" and "The path of sorrows" are soulcatching.Also "The iron mask" and "Invocations" are absolutely beautiful.So to make a long story short,if you want to listen to some music that will stir up every emotion and feeling that you have,then this is your album.If after listening to this you dont fall in love with gothic music and feeling,well then you might be dead already....hopefully.

This is good. No, this is great. From the 1st track to the last, this CD just makes you wanna dance (it made me wanna dance!!)... Deathwish(Wishful Death) is one of the greatest remixes I've heard in awhile, being both original and listenable, which is a rarity in remixes nowadays. You can have one quality, but not the other. Techno, industrial, dance, and more industrial is represented on this CD. Lost Minds is killer, also!! Highly recommended, especially over the Death In Detroit release.

I was not sure about a Christian Death remix album when I first saw it but being a fan as well as a collecter of their music I took a chance. It was recommended to me and I recommend it to you. It is very good. R.I.P ~Rozz Williams~

I like this album because the lyrics are all taken from dark, romantic 19th century French poetry. Baudeliere is represented, as well as Gourmont and Gilkin, and I think they would have liked these grinding, minor-key, woozy, low-fi sounds surrounding their words. The singer sounds like a little more drunken Robert Smith and it seems to work quite nicely.

I've had this CD for a long time - longer than I would care to admit - and I still love it like the day I bought it. It was a sad, sad day for me when I discovered the CD had finally scratched a few years ago, rendering the 13th track, Lost Minds, unlistenable. Without thinking twice, I bought an MP3 replacement off of Amazon, and I'm still planning on replacing the physical disc.

When I say I love this CD, I want it to be understood that I love it despite not loving a small handful of tracks on it. The songs on this CD that are great are *so* great that they totally make up for the few weak tracks (of which I would cite Book of Lies, Death in Detroit, Still Born/Still Life, and Mother) and the smaller group of great, but "have to be in the mood for them" tracks (The Angels, Desperate Hell, and the spectacularly well-done Cervix Couch remixes). This gives a trimmed down list of thoroughly listenable, outstanding tracks in Deathwish (some of the best Christian Death metal sound out there), the all-too-brief perfection of Spiritual Cramp, Sleepwalk, two great takes on Figurative Theatre (though I admittedly prefer the Extended Version over the Klute remix), and the incredible, frantic madness of Lost Minds. With four tracks that I find generally unlistenable, remix CD garbage, this album still pulls in 5 Stars in my book.

And I was never really into the whole Goth thing; I was a post-punk listener to mostly industrial music, I preferred colorful dress over the all-black cliche, and I liked a handful of goth acts that became a smaller and smaller handful as I grew up. I *still* love this CD.
