5.0 out of 5 stars It's definitely worth your money!, September 4, 2007

This album is wonderful, trippy, and very refreshing. If you like metal, techno, alternative, progressive, or just want something cool, I suggest you buy it.

This review is from: The Neonai (Audio CD)

After buying A Crimson Cosmos, I became an instant fan of Lake Of Tears. They are one of the few bands since the mid 90s that forced me to revise my top ten lists. I love the melancholic mood created by their music and the fantasy/autumn lyrics. None of their albums has ever disappointed. The Neonai is more "electronic/techno" than the previous four albums. The drums sound programmed and a few of the songs have similar beats. But despite that there are still several excellent songs and it is difficult for me to choose favorites. The fact that this band is not huge is a shame, but I feel lucky that I discovered them. I recommend starting with Crimson, or Forever Autumn, both classics!

It was very hard for me to get this album, since in my country, LoT is almost unknown. I was waiting for it, and when I finally got it... I was a bit disappointed. It is fantastic, really! It has everything I love Lake of Tears for. Great lyrics, music that actually has a mellody, Mr Brennare is singing, not growling. Again, LoT invited Ms. Jennie Tabler, she appears in 3 songs, which is a pleasant surprise...
The problem is that seeing how Lake of Tears developed since 1993, I'd say, this is a step back, or, maybe, that it's not one, but two steps forward? This album is a bit too electronic for me, it has more "disco" drums in few songs, the lyrics are not as good as in previous albums. Actually, in my opinion, nothing will ever be as good as "Forever Autumn". Maybe this is why I expected something more. I truly recomend "The Neonai" to everybody, but be warned.
Let's hope that LoT's 6th album (which will be ready this year, or so I've read on official LoT website) will be something better. Even better than "Forever Autumn".
