Title: Damnation and a Day
Review: Damnation and a Day, despite the sony label, the new melodic guitar riffs and vocal effects, is still a great album. Many people deny Cradle of any credit, but they should understand that when a band begins to change some of their sound, it's not necessarily selling out; every band needs to go through an evolution at some point in time. Cradle has done this many times, as made evident by The Principle of Evil Made Flesh, then to Dusk and Her Embrace and Cruelty and the Beast which in contrast to their first efforts, sound completely different. By the time they reached Midian and Bitter Suites to Succubi, they changed almost completely with their speed, effects, song-writing style, even their subject matter changed. Cradle of Filth is an aged and matured band, and while Damnation and a Day is not an incredible album, and does tend to drag being 75 min. or so long, it still does well enough to rank with the classic Cradle albums.
