Title: Nothing special here..........
Review: As a fan of the so-called goth metal genre, I must say that I was wholly unimpressed with this purchase. It made me scared to buy any Dutch goth metal, but I later found out that Within Temptation is a really good band. Anyways, Orphange, in my mind, is a simplistic, badly produced attempt at goth metal. They pale in comparison to the kings of the genre, Tristania. The best part of goth metal is the female vocals. With Orphanage, the female vocs are pathetic compared to the likes of Vibeke Stene, Liv Kristen, and Sharon Adel. The male vocals are, of course, growled, but they aren't too good either. The songs get boring, but the lyrics are good. Final note--step down Orphanage and let the Scandinavians do goth metal.
Is the review positive or negative?
