A great album. It got me into this kind of music and i guess it was the first to begin the genre of gothic metal | although at that time i refer to it as atmospheric death. The dark aura and very heavy music combine with excellent songs as Shattered, s/t, The Painless...Doomy lyrics and artwork something beyond definition. All Time Classic. Review by: toni t "Gothic", "Icon" and "Shades of God" that's the trinity of classics of doom metal. Unfortunately, the band changed the style and not to the right direction, I could say. I suppose that the majority of doom metal bands followed PARADISE LOST more or less, particularly "Gothic". The stuff of the album is really great and expressive like architectural monuments of Gothic style. Despite the current drastical experiments with the music the band will remain among the pioneers of doom metal. But it should be better for PL to return to the great period of "Gothic"... Review by: Birute This is what art can do: turn 3 chords into a masterpiece! Pure death/doom depression, through corrosive guitars and cave-like vocals. Great lyrics and a terrific negative mood. I wish they could do it again and again. It's a shame they tried to become the new Depeche Motherfuckin' Mode after this (and the following) album. Review by: JonVendetta Classic, Awesome. If you dont have it buy it or kill yourself. They defined doomdeath metal here 11/10 Review by: misiod Another true classic doomdeath album. Songs like "Gothic", "Shattered", "Rapture" and "Eternal" are just pure dooooooooooooooooommmmm... The way it should be!!! (Right Zenial?) Review by: Flix I've always heard it was a classic and the best paradise lost album, but honnestly i've been a bit disapointed; It's not bad, but somewhat inequal... Despise the use of atmospheric elements such as female vocals and synth, it's not as deep and loud as lost paradise. Review by: ratus Good album, but I prefer Lost Paradise. Notice that the sound of double bass is quite unhearable.... Review by: Evil Frons A true Doom Masterpiece. It's the first album in Doom with a female voice, and what superb efect in that supreme track that is «gothic». If you want the first really good Death/Doom album, this is the one. Review by: silencioabsoluto Great concept, vocals and fiffs. Unfortunately Aaron fucked up all the rhuthm guitar and Greg had to play some for him so guitarely it's a crap. But I love it. As music has its unique mood the quality of production doesn't matter. Review by: manos This cd is the best of doom-death scene. grunts and riffs very catchy and emotive, when this band no was a gothic kids they did great music Review by: Havelok Best album from a band who once were my favourite band. It's so intensively dark and brutal. Makes me feel like being in a tomb. This album along with Shades of god and Icon are truly masterpieces. Draconian times is ok but losing some of the edge. And unfortunately PL just went downhill after that. Why does the greatest doom metal band ever suddenly play popmusic?! Review by: Wintersun
