5.0 out of 5 stars pretty nice!, February 15, 2000
By Miki and Marina (Omsk, Russia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shades of God (Audio CD)
Are you still thinking is this the album for you or not? So read what I think, but seriously I truly don't know what to say when we talk about Paradise Lost, not because I don't have anything to say but because when you speak about Paradise Lost words are not enough. I am not a fan of this band but really appreciate their three albums: "Gothic", "Shades of God" and "Icon". After listening to them for several years I can admit that "Shades of God" is their best album though it is more inornate than "Icon". Of course "Icon" has very melodic elements of doom-goth metal and is cleverly made for success but doesn't have such a conception as "Shades of God", and I am able to listen to "Icon" with great pleasure just once in 6 months. After listening to "Shades of God", on the other hand, I can't abandon this compact disk on the deep shelf because I want to remember the melody and refresh the feelings over some time. There are some really catchy and very attractive melodies with gloomy poetry, mainly it concerns such songs as "Pity the Sadness", "Mortals Watch the Day" and "As I Die". Gregor really wrote beautiful music, and Nick has pretty nice vocal but can't say the same about his singing on the last albums, where he has a bad vocal, and maybe it would be better if he wouldn't sing at all, just a music playing. Back to the point: if you like doom-death music with smart melodies and performance - you have to listen to "Shades of God" - in any case it is not the worst album of Paradise Lost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Paradise NOT lost!, June 4, 2002
By William A. Hooff Jr. (Alexandria, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shades of God (Audio CD)
I don't understand why I'm reading all of these bad reviews of "shades of god". I had bought this album when it came out, then someone decided they had to have it so they stole mine! So here it is exactly 10 years later, I've bought it again and I must say this album is HEAVY! "NO FORGIVENESS" is a classic ballad of despair that will go down in history. Who would dare disagree with "As I die"?, a haunting, doom filled masterpiece! If you don't own this--buy it today! I know when I first heard this album that I had to have it--it gave me "chills", that's how you know it's a good album. Put this in the CD player and crank up the first track "Mortals watch the day", and know you have done the right thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars DREAMSCAPE, November 12, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Shades of God (Audio CD)
Discovering Paradise Lost after Icon was relased, I was immediately hooked. Moving backwards, their evolution is clear.... songs such as As I Die, Pity the Sadness, and No Forgiveness demonstrate the orchestrated guitar parts and goth overtones of the band< with lyrics that provide insight to pain we have all felt at some point or another. In all, the album is an awesome dreamscape of a tired soul.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
After creating Gothic, the ultimate doom/death album and metal classic, what do you do next? I don't know, and neither did the band I think. Read more

Many Paradise Lost fans look back to this album as the "good old days"-- and good they were, but not great. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Pay MUCH attention to Johnny Rock!
That Rock guy hit it right on the head. This is one of the very worst attempts at metal, or music for that matter, that I've heard in a long while. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS ALBUM ROCKS!
This is DEFINITELY the best Paradise Lost album and in fact the best one from the doom metal style in the early 90s.
Great lyrics, great music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pay NO Attention to Johnny Rock !!!
First off, this is probably one of their best albums. Some of the songs are a little drawn out, but the musicianship makes up for that. Read more

Where do I start? Some of the worst musicianship I have ever heard. The guitar solos are so horrible, they almost sound like an attempt at humour. Read more
