"As the album begins, it seems as though The Nephilim picks up where Dawnrazor left off, with consecutive tracks of potent Gothic guitar rock. Endemoniada, The Watchman and Moonchild are all excellent as Goth singles.However as the album progresses the true genius of FotN begins to emerge. The minimal, soulful Celebrate represents the best performance Carl McCoy had given up to that point. The effort becomes even more inspired as the album wraps with Love Under Will and Last Exit for the Lost. There may not be 2 other songs in the entire history of the genre that are more epic than these; this is what Goth was meant to be - beautiful, mysterious, manic, edgy, apocalyptic and truly grand.The suggestion that FotN was derivative of other Goth bands must end with these 3 final tracks as none were ever so massive in scope and feel before, and none since (other than what Nephilim themselves accomplish later on Elizium)."
Last Exit For The Lost

""Nephilim" is one of those rare albums that will forever change you. From the haunting strains of Celebrate to the discordant brilliance of Last Exit For the Lost there are no momnets that will not engage you in a dream like duality of mind and body. ps...for those of you out there that think FOTN sound like sisters of mercy I suggest you listen again...or at the very least listen..."
A Classic

"I would be hardpressed to choose between this and Elizium as to which is my favorite FOTN cd but this album definitely has some of my favorite FOTN songs. "Celebrate" is a quiet masterpiece. Carl's subdued vocals will pierce your heart and soul. "Last Exit for the Lost" is truly beautiful. I'm always disappointed when the end of the song arrives. I've been known to have this song on "repeat" indefinitely."
A Timeless masterpiece that will forever remain

"Back in 1988 was when I first heard this album I became instantly addicted to the soundscape & atmosphere that the Nephilim created on this record. I still love it now in 2005 and can honestly say that the album sounds just as good now as it did back in 1988!. The originality of the songs and sounds on this awesome record make it so unique and I do not think any other band will come along in my life time and make such an impression as did the nephilim. A Classic on it's own!"
