4.0 out of 5 stars Sirenian Shores, October 24, 2005

This was kind of a neat album. I liked the title track a fair bit; it starts out with a nice intro. I also loved the acoustic version of Meridian. Save Me from Myself is not a song I have ever liked, but if you like the song, the remix is not bad. Obire Mortem is also a really good song, and the cover of First We Take Manhattan is decent. My only complaint is that there are not more new songs on this, which is why I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I don't know that it is worth the $9 charged on this site, but if you can find it for cheaper, you might want to get it.

The title track is great. I like Sirenia now but the older stuff is even
better. (Maybe because Tristania is one of my favorite bands and it is similar to that - no coincidence since Morten Veland was with Tristania and early Sirenia is similar.)

"Save Me from Myself" - The remix here is better than the one one the
album "An Elixir for Existence" . On the album it's bland and not one
of my favorites. Here it's much more fun.

"First We Take Manhatten" is good.."Obire Mortem" is monks chanting for
a contrast with the rest.

"Meridian Acoustic" - THe opposite of "Save Me from Myself" - I prefer
the non-acoustic version. This one is ok..just not stellar.

For an EP it's a great value and a good example of goth metal for those
not familiar with the genre. The composition, musicianship and production
are top notch with this EP and Sirenia in general. Buy it.

Another great band in the history of Music. In my country, this kind of Music is not listened as much as "Reggaeton", "Vallenato" and "Pop". But people who likes this kind of music agree with me. I use to collect the complete discography of the bands I like such as "Nightwish", "After Forever", "Epica", "Odes Of Ecstasy", "Penumbra", "Haggard", "To Die For", etc... There are a lot of good artists who play different genres, styles, etc... but "Gothic Metal" and "Doom Metal" bands are a big revolution.
