Negative Positive
Title: Good all around.
Review: Cradle Of Filth is one of those "aquired taste" bands. True black and death metal fans like myself may find it difficult to really enjoy Cradle. At one time they were pretty highly respected in the black metal community...well if your buying this album hoping that it's black metal, put it down and walk away. COF is by no stretch of the imagination black metal. Dani's vampiric vocals mirror more that of a gothic metal band. The guitar and synth is much like that of a black metal band...but hell, I don't think I have to describe why these guys aren't black metal. But anyway, this is a great album, Dani's vocals are much more shrill and piercing than on previous albums, but still get the job done. This one was meant to appeal more to main stream audiences, but if your a Cradle fan like myself... by all means pick this one up. If you want to get your hands on some newer black metal however go for Death Cult Armageddon, the new Dimmu Album
