5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Medieval, February 18, 2006

This review is from: Light at the End of the World (Dig) (Audio CD)

This is a marvelous album. This album, while still operating within the Doom/Death sound of other MDB albums (except 34%), has a unique feel to it. One of favorite MDB songs is called Edenbeast. It reminds me of three things 1) Medieval/ancient Egypt 2) Eyes Wide Shut (when cruise walks into the masquarade ball) 3) a dark temple where weird rituals are being performed. This song is worth buying the entire album.

But back to the album. It is true that after 34.8% complete, this is a return to the MDB everyone knows and loves. I would not say though that this album sounds like Turn Loose....or The Angel.. While it isn't as experimental, it definitely sounds more mature... This album is heavy and uses keyboards to the same and sometimes better effect than the violin used in earlier albums. In fact, the guitars prove that you don't even need the violin to deliver the kind of atmosphere which is dispondent, sorrowful, and deeply touching, which MDB do so well.

However, it is not a perfect album. While the first 4 songs of the album are fantastic, the second half leaves a lot to be desired. It's almost as if they MDB ran out of ideas. Christliar is particular plods along with no real destination.

Nevertheless, essential for anyone who likes MDB's other works and for anyone who wants a dose of good, clean, well-written, thoughtful music.

5.0 out of 5 stars EPIC MISERY, March 16, 2000

"devil-boy" (CANADA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Light at the End of the World (Audio CD)

After the experimental '34.7888% COMPLETE', My Dying... has returned to their original sound. That's right, guitar riffs (HEAVY) and DEATH GROWLS and the old logo are back. Songs are still long and some tend to drag, but the actual songs and riffs are some of the best since 'TURN LOOSE THE SWANS',so it doesn't really matter, with a welcome return to misery it's a must for their fans both old and new. Fave track 'CHRISTLIAR'

This review is from: Light at the End of the World (Dig) (Audio CD)

This album from MDB is very good. It is classic doom metal done almost to perfection. This album consists of a very emotional vocals/lyrics, (although Aaron does throw in some growls every now and then on this album) and slow guitar riffs/drums. The best songs on this album are The Light at the End of the World, Edenbeast, and Into the Lake of Ghosts. If you are a doom metal/metal fan, this album is for you.
