4 out of 5 stars It doesn't "Bleed" but I still love it!.......2005-08-08

If you are a fan of the band like me, than you already know how Angel Dust's evolving sound has changed from Bleed to Human Bondage. Less melodic than its predecessor (Bleed), Enlighten the Darkness gives us an edgier Angel Dust. Songs like "Cross of Hatred" and "Come Into Resistance" (two of my favorites on the album) have a crunch that separated them from other bands of the genre. However, there are still some beautiful gems on this record as well: "Beneath the Silence" and "Oceans of Tomorrow" will nearly rip your heart out with their emotional depth and beauty. Not as good as Bleed, but it still sits in my cd collection, and I still listen to it with the same awe and love that I felt when I first took it out of the plastic.

4 out of 5 stars A good follow up to Bleed !.......2003-07-09

The first Angel Dust album, Border of Reality was horrible. It was a breakthrough album, and there was much room for improvement. And improve they did!! The next album, Bleed, is their best ever!! Enlighten the Darkness is awesome!!! Almost as good, and practically as good. It's not quite as dark, but it's got the metal. I miss the keyboards on Bleed a bit. But, they're on the right track here! Helloween has died (my former favorite band for over 10 years), and Angel Dust is my new champ!

German metal rocks!!

5 out of 5 stars This CD is complex, powerful, and just bleed emotion........2003-06-07

This CD really got me into the more power-metalish sound but don't expect every power-metal group to sound like this. These guys are just off the wall awesome, and the songs are there to top. There is such a blend of intrumental and vocal in this that it's literally like they are of one sound. And you really feel the power behind every last track on this CD. In my opinion Angel Dust's best album although some do like to argue that "Of Human Bondage" is. This Album does stand tall and up to most everyone of my expectations. Have listened to it into oblivion but still manages to find it's way back to my ears.

4 out of 5 stars pretty good.......2002-01-26

I'd never really heard anything by Angel Dust when I ordered this - after reading about it and listening to the samples however I thought why not? I wasn't disappointed. The album probably isn't as heavy as I would have liked it to be, but the singer has a GREAT voice. There's no screaming or growling either like on many metal CD'S, but that's because you won't be finding any death or black metal on any of the tracks. The style reminds me slightly of Iron Maiden etc so if you like good old style metal (not that this CD is old of course) you may want to give Angel Dust a listen. Best songs? Probably 'I need you.' Just make sure you turn the sound up loud to get the best results....

5 out of 5 stars GREAT ALBUM!.......2001-12-12

A VERY NICELY DONE ALBUM AGAIN! WITH IMPROVEMENTS AFTER THE MARVELLOUS "BLEED" ALBUM. THIS TIME WITH EVEN BETTER MELODIES AND TEXTURES, YOU SURE SHOULD BUY THIS!
