Title: The Gathering does it again...
Review: This is by FAR one of my favorite releases of '06. I still do not understand after years and years of putting out fantastic albums that this band is not as popular as Lacuna Coil or Nightwish. Yes, I know they aren't exactly "metal" anymore, but the quality of the music and songwriting should have catapulted them to super stardom long ago.Anneke's voice sounds amazing as it always has. Her vocals seem to get better and better with each album. Stand out songs include: "Walking Hour", "A Noise Severe", "Alone", "Your Troubles Are Over", and of course the single "Shortest Day".Unlike Souveneirs, this a little less experimental and a little more straight forward. They seem to have added more of a guitar sound to this one than the last few. Nonetheless, this is definitely an album to pick up if you want to hear the best female fronted bands in hard rock/heavy metal.
