Title: A pause before greatness
Product review: On their first full-length release, following their self-titled debut EP, Lacuna Coil are poised on the verge of greatness. The CD's opening track "Circle" is a masterpiece and hints at what is yet to come from this Italian powerhouse in the future. The rest of the tracks are perfectly adequate, but don't really propel the band beyond what they showed us on their debut EP. The songs are well-crafted and highly listenable, and Cristina Scabbia continues to be the best voice in rock today. Other standout tracks are "Stately Lover" and "To Myself I Turned." With this first full-length effort, Lacuna Coil deliver a quality release while only hinting at the heights to which they would soar on their subsequent releases.
