A lot of bashing, but no love...

honestly, im glad paradise lost changed their tune a bit, even with the most genius instrumentals, you can only listen to so much simple screaming....their new sound, put simply, is heavy and still sounds good, real good...meh. the child submission, btw thats just the quickest way to submit

HORRIBLE

this album was horrible...i listened to the first 5 tracks (only about 30 seconds of each) and then threw away the cd...they sound like depeche mode or duran duran. what happened to paradise lost from the earlier days? the only album i have of thiers is ICON. i highly recommend that album, its great. i really just didnt dig his vocals or the music on this album at all...being a huge black/death/thrash metal fan made me recoil in terror at this album...DONT BUY IT, unless thats what ur into

This wasn't just change, but rather a complete nosedive...

As an old fan of Paradise Lost, I have agree with those condemning the album. I'd say they completely ceased being any sort of "metal" with this album. That in itself isn't a bad thing - my tastes are much more diverse than that - but with it, they tossed out the grand melodrama that made them a great band. Still singing signature gloomy lyrics, but suddenly to simplistic uninspired rock melodies that sound almost devoid of any emotion or character at all.



I have every album Paradise Lost has released, and One Second is, imho, thier worst album of all, despite going even lighter and more electronic with thier next offering.
