Excellent Album

"To the person who said "save your money and buy a Sisters of Mercy cd instead," I just have to shake my head. Come on now, are you serious? I really love Paralysed Age, they have a very dark, passionate sound that's unlike any other band out there. I also love how their music is inspired by the stories of Edgar Allan Poe, evidenced by their songs "Berenice" and "Morella's Sleep." Paralysed Age are both Romantic and Gothic, and I really miss the Romantic side of goth, which, thanks to these talented Germans, continues to live on.



One of the best songs on here, besides "Morella's Sleep," includes "Nocturne," and the very moody, dark, and romantic "Tears Are Always The End." Perhaps this sounds biased, but Germans have a long history of Romanticism in their cultural background, and Paralysed Age embodies this Dark Romanticism, set to modern "gothic" music, to perfection."

The way gothic music should sound

"For anyone who is an "old schooler" then i don't have to tell you how this album sounds.If you are and like old school goth then buy it.For any newbies who are just getting into the scene then i highly reccomend this album.Forget all of that crap you are hearing in the clubs these days,vnv,apop,razed in black etc..etc.This is what gothic music is all about and how it should be."

It's O.K but I've heard better

"Paralysed Age is O.K but I've heard better.

"Bloodsucker 2000" is my favorite track on this CD but it all sounds rather bland and seems to cater to the misfit "goth" teen scene. Save your money or better yet get The Vampire Lucan Wolf's CD "Vampire Nights" it's alot more fun and better produced."
