Paradise Lost -
Tragic Idol (2012)
I'm enjoying this album a lot more than I expected to. It's kind of cheesy and a little formulaic but they never relent on going forward at full force, and I can respect that. Too many bands slow it down every other song or in some cases every song that the songs blend together, but this really isn't the case with Paradise Lost. It's the antithesis to Swallow the Sun's album which I've already forgotten the name of because it was just that memorable. The vocals can take a little getting use to, they kind of sound like James Hetfield in a way, so take that how you will. It's always great to see old bands showing back up to show all the young whippersnappers how it's done.
