Lacuna Coil doesnt have anything on Sirenia! (4.3 stars)
Logan Peterson | Wichita, Kansas | 07/05/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This album is very enjoyable and relaxing with some good heavier part thrown in. Which is how good Gothic Metal should sound. Not like the processed commercial sound that pathetic excuse for a Gothic Metal band Lacuna Coil has.



This album is exactly what you would be looking for in a Gothic Metal band. Good, growly Black Metal vocals coming from a male, and a sweet symphonic angels voice coming from a beautiful female singer, along with some good guitar riffs and cool yet relaxing electronic, keyboard, and piano sounds. Theres even some violin play in the songs!!!



The only thing bothering me about this album is the structure of all the songs go in the same pattern. Growly vocals, then clear. Or growly, clear, growly, clear. The songs become predictable in that vocal sense. But in every other aspect this album is a fine example of todays Gothic Metal. I strongly reccommend it.



Suck it up Lacuna Coil. You lose."
