i gave this 4.5 stars only for the music tracks
The dvd is bad , i had many problems with it , no sound in track 1, 3 and it is only bonus tracks for me.

"Let me Drown" and "A Side you'll Never Know" are only available on the 5 Track version of the single or you can get the anyway with the " paradise lost " new album (u.s.a version).
The DVD contains film from the "Paradise Lost" Photo Shoot, Making of "Forever After", and "live" footage from December 2004 with out the original sound.

THE single IS AWSOME IF YOU LIKE THEIR LAST ALBUMS.
THE (audio) BONUS TRACKS ARE AWSOME ! but it became less necessary after you have got the new album " paradise lost" 2005.

Like most Paradise Lost single releases, Forever After serves mainly as an appetizer for the (then) forthcoming self-titled full-length album. In that respect, Forever After is a definite success. This is a great single and is also a good example of what the modern Paradise Lost sound is all about. It's a metal song, but with enough of the catchier gothic elements that come to define the band's sound. I found it very similar to Isolate from the band's underrated Symbol of Life album.

In addition to the title track, there are a couple of non-album studio tracks included on the single - Through the Silence and Sanctimonious You. Both are perfectly good songs, and wouldn't have been out of place on the proper album. I'd have preferred an interesting cover song (I'm still waiting for Paradise Lost to cover something from the Cult's Dreamtime album), but new studio tracks are definitely preferable to the same old live songs or demos most bands tack onto these singles.

At just over 10 minutes, this is a pretty brief CD, and at this point it's only going to be of interest to die-hard Paradise Lost fans. Of course if you're checking out this listing in the first place you probably fall into that category, so you might as well pick it up!
