Negative Positive
Title: Beautiful...
Review: I gather this is quite a departure for the band, but not having heard their previous stuff (aside from seeing the video for "Leaves," from Mandylion), I didn't have much in the way of preconceptions.I've seen reviews and websites that refer to the Gathering as a doom or progressive metal band, but what this CD reminds me of is All About Eve and some of Sarah McLachlan's older stuff. Beautiful female vocals, lush and powerful arrangements... what's not to like?This music would work just fine on a mix tape with, say, Garmarna, Kate Bush, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the aforementioned All About Eve and Sarah McLachlan. And that's pretty good company to be in.
Is the review positive or negative?
