The guitars remind me of Entwine, Lacuna Coil, and HIM (crunchy), but a lot more melodic and romantic. I definitely loved this on the first listen, and it's only getting better. I think Thomas from nightwish is in this band, and it seems to show, because the songwriting is very good. Any fans of gothic romance metal will love this - I think it's much better than Lacuna Coil and others just because of the different elements. Female vocals...keys...catchy riffs...etc etc. Check it out!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great sound, July 18, 2003

By	"zefdav" (Lima, PERU) - See all my reviews

After listening albums like nightwish, lacuna coil, opeth , I had the luck to listen this debut album. It has a lot of feel, excelent instrumentals and a very gothic voice. You must have this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am ... "Fallen" ... in love with this album, March 22, 2005

By	Nhat Le "web developer" (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fallen by For My Pain is one of the most well written and beautifully crafted albums that I've heard. Starting at the moment when I first heard the opening song, I couldn't stop listening to them. The album is well-rounded, and believe me, you will not be dissapointed buying it.

Their music has heavy distortion guitar part but extremely melodic. On top of the strong beats is the wonderful male vocal, which is very expressive and emotional. The lyrics are also as good, but usually I do not pay that much attention to the lyrics, as I care more about the music quality. Compared to other bands of similar style (Gothic/Metal such as Nightwish), For My Pain perform their songs at moderate tempo, not so fast but steady, and very "clean". I especially love the keyboard part, it is so good.

To me, all tracks in this album are equally good and they flow well to make an exceptionally good album. I look forward to their next album and I know won't be dissapointed. Meanwhile, I'll keep playing this album ...

4.0 out of 5 stars Not bad at all!
Seeing that this band has 3 ex-members of Eternal Tears of Sorrow, you might expect raw cookie-monster-like vocals and fairly heavy riffs. This is not the case. Read more
