Well let me say that I love to hear Vibeke sing and was sad to see her go. Ashes and Illumination are my two favorite albums by them so the second phase is my favorite. Now the new chick didn't do so well on Rubicon but she did find her footing on Darkest White.
With that said their songs are hit and miss with me. The ones I like I really like and the others not so much. Comparing them to my favorite gothic metal band Lacuna Coil they don't hold a candle to them and they aren't even in the same league as the symphonic metal bands I listen to like After Forever, Epica, Stream Of Passion etc.
