4 out of 5 stars Depeche Lost?.......2007-03-15

And so this is the so-called sellout for Paradise Lost...After the gothic sounding "One Second", which was disappointing for many of their fans, Paradise Lost came to release an album with nothing at all to do with metal. The guitars seem absent on this album and all one can hear are processed synthesizers and programmable drum beats. The band claims that what sounds as synthesizers is actually processed guitar but in either case it doesn't really make any difference. The question about the album is : Is it any good? Yes, it's different than anything else they released but still it retains many of the original Paradise Lost elements such as clever songwriting and the melancholy of previous albums like "Draconian Times" . The closest comparison to what they sound like is Depeche Mode. Even though this album was strongly criticized by most of their earlier fans it's still a very interesting album with songs like "Permanent Solution" and "Behind the Gray" standing out. The album is recommended to people who liked "One Second" or fans of bands like Depeche Mode. Other fans of the band ...proceed with caution!

4 out of 5 stars Counter-perspective.......2007-01-28

If you are a Paradise Lost completist, or if you are open to the idea of your favorite bands expanding into different territories, then give this a shot. Agreeable with the review above, this is Paradise Lost expanding their furthest into pop-gothic territory, only to start returning to a more rock format on the next album, semi-closer to their roots in doom metal. I love this album, as I love all their albums. If you are open-minded to the electronica experimentation, you will find an album using the subtleties of Paradise Lost's common song structures and instrumentation to assist the band in finding new ways of exploring a dark and introspective sound.

1 out of 5 stars The worst of a great band.......2007-01-08

I've been a fan of Paradise Lost since their first album, when they played doom metal. I was at first disappointed with their newer goth-like style, but I warmed up to it. This album is by far their worst in their goth-like style. It's sort of almost like pop music. There are no memorable songs on this album. I do NOT recommend this album to anyone.
