Title: Low on Gas
Review: While I love Cradle (Namely Vempire/Dusk/Cruelty) and many songs from other albums of theirs, this one just doesn't retain the edge. The album concept and art are interesting and essentially good, production is great, but the music is very flattened. The riffs are rather generic and indolent, the only exceptions being "Hurt and Virtue" and "Mannequin". Also, someone needs to shoot Adrian Erlandsson in the leg. It seems that as soon as the incessant droning of the double-bass ceases for a moment, it immediately starts up again.This record may be more accessible than others, but it runs out of gas quickly after you first listen to it.
