the first two LPs are ace, very bleak..then they suddenly turned into a metallica clone bad, a shame.

hmmm... I didn't like Lost paradise that much, but didn't mind some of gothic. My favourites were easily the middle two (Icon/draconian times)

I think the production on "lost paradise" is mince, but the sheer weight of the tracks is amazing...so bleak (like I said).

I liked everything up to Icon, Draconian Times was a bit poor, haven't really listened to Host, One Second was pretty good, Believe in Nothing is excellant and haven't heard the new one that much to really rate it (although i do own it) the Bronski Beat cover at the end is excellant.

I've seen them live 4 times, (Gothic tour, Icon, Draconian times and the Aberdeen gig for Believe in Nothing.) and they were excellant each time apart from there festival appearance at Donnington the stage was too big for them and it was broad daylight.
Daylight doesn't help bands who are dark and gloomy

they are a lot better than 60% of all that rock nonsense out there

Some of their B sides were actually really good:

"Sweetness", from the "Seals the Sense" (ember's fire) single.

"Walk Away" and "Master Of Misrule" from "The Last Time" single.

"Fear" from the "Forever Failure" single.

All great songs.

Wow, what a coincidence, just listening to "Draconian Times" which is absoloutely amazing. I haven't heard any of their other albums, but if this is anything to go by it is worth an investigation.

I kinda half-liked them (although didn't own a lot of their stuph) but then they went very Depeche Modey - I can't remember the album title (The one with 'So Much Is Lost' on) which I kinda liked, but thought was at really odd angles to what they did previously.

After that I always looked at them oddly.

Yeah, that was an ace cover of the old Sisters of Mercy song
