In response to the last review, all I can say is that "Say Just Words" is what turned me onto Paradise Lost's better stuff, but its actually a good song though aimed at a wider audience than you might like.

This is a good band, too bad they dont get any airplay.

I'm not terribly fond of the song "Say Just Words", despite its popularity among Paradise Lost fans. It's not terrible, but as a riff-powered song I don't think it holds up compared with some of their earlier work. In fact it sounds downright forced and more than a little cheesy. The band embraced a new style on the album of its origin, "One Second", and I don't think the formula mixes well with this nostalgic throwback to chugging guitar times. At the very least, fans who are into Paradise Lost enough to buy this would do well to just buy the album and leave it at that. They'll find "Soul Courageous" there also and plenty of stronger material. The only reason to buy this single is the b-side "Cruel One", a relatively weak song that PL guitarists Greg Mackintosh and Aaron Aedy have since admitted they detest.
