4.0 out of 5 stars I like my metal heavy, but..., March 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: One Second (Audio CD)

While I was a fan of albums like Draconian Times and Icon, I never thought that PL sounded too enthusiastic in that genre. Decent songs, but they would never stay in the CD player for long before I got tired of them. Although this CD may sound like a great departure from Draconian Times, I think this is where PL is more comfortable and it shows in the music. "Selling out" doesn't have to man going soft; it can also mean rehashing the same album ad nauseum to satisfy old fans who aren't able to deal with change.

...And to the guy who thought Amorphis' "Tuonela" was bad, I feel sorry for you. They worked very hard to produce a brilliant album, and because it's lacking, what, death vocals? you don't allow yourself to appreciate it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Goth? Metal? Goth-Metal? Who cares, it's great music!, March 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: One Second (Audio CD)

The album that has some Paradise Lost fans up in arms. Is it a great, well-orchestrated, defining pinnacle in a fairly decent catalogue? Or is it a whiny collection of sad, depressing drivel from a band that lost its greatness? I opt for the former. It's different. It's refreshing. Nick Holmes is at his eerie best on faves "This Cold Life" and "Blood Of Another". A perfect blend of goth and metal, Paradise Lost should have a larger fan base than they do. Yes, they've changed, sure they've toned down a bit, but they did it with style. Gosh, what a cool band.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Paradise Lost, June 12, 2003

This disc is bottled intensity -- epic, dramatic, and intoxicating. Dark and sinister without resorting to screams and howls ... this band writes music that haunts you. From the piano line of "One Second" that opens the album, to the pained, slow pace of "Take Me Down", Paradise Lost weaves a musical tapestry that ensnares anyone who dares to listen. One for the ages. Among my favorite albums of all time.
