 This is Not Midian December 10, 2009

Update: Just a FYI the Celtic Frost cover Into Crypt of Rays is a letdown. Nothing special about it. It couldbe any band doing it.
I have Most of the COF albums and I like a little bit of something about each of them. Midian is the stand out album in my opinion where I actually Love every song on the CD. It is Dani's master piece. Godspeed is not Midian no matter how many reviews you read on Amazon claim it is as good or even better. It is more on a even paying field with Cruelty and the Beast. Godspeed is a decent CD. Some of the intros become very Repetitive. The songs do not have nearly the same hooks that Midian has. There are a few stand out moments but not enough for me to stay interested for very long. I wish someone had written this review (maybe they did and I missed it) before I got my hopes up that Godspeed was going to be another master piece. It isn't. Not many artists can repeat their best work. Dani has yet to top Midian.
The return of Cradle Of Filth August 19, 2009

Cradle Of Filth have always been a good metal band deep down below, they just happen to be misunderstood, discarded as not "metal" enough, or have produced some albums that fell aslant. I've been with them since the beginning of the millennium, and starting with Midian, they produced a dark and visionary album that felt compelling and fascinating when everyone else would clutch their hands over their ears (I first heard them because my brother gave me the album, claiming he "just could not stand listening to it"). After that came Damnation and a Day, an absolutely fantastic (and probably all-too overlooked) album which bears an epic thematic thread, a biblical story told from the point of view of Lucifer. Complete with a full orchestra and choir, as a whole it can't get much better than that. Both Nymphetamine and Thornography failed to deliver the same experience, and even though they had a few stand-out songs, the overall musical album experience wasn't there.
I wasn't expecting much going into Godspeed On The Devil's Thunder, but what a surprise! Again it's thematic and epic, the choirs and melodies are all there - and Doug Bradley, a cornerstone of the band's eerieness, returned to narrate throughout the album. They managed to balance it again, making a complete listening experience that is both dark, heavy, deep, melodic, beautiful and interesting. From producing an album last time that felt very mainstream even for their own likes (meaning lightly borne on melodies that could be gladly hummed and whistled), they've come back to do what it is they do best - a dark 71-minute audio-saga, a bed-time story for gothics. And my applause for it.
 Almost, but not good enough. July 7, 2009

The best part about the album is that it is less commercial sounding than the last two albums. The worst part is that it does not have the memorable riffs and good songs that the last two had.This album is faster and heavier, but it sounds like the band is just going through the motions.Also, the album, like many other recent metal albums,has a very computer like, fake production. I prefer the more organic, real sound of their early albums. Overall, this is not a bad album, but not memorable enough for me to purchase it.
 Great Product. April 2, 2009

Nothing wrong, just nothing great! March 15, 2009

This isn't a bad album it's just that it doesn't have any standout songs. It's good all the way through it's just every song sounds kinda the same. I know they tried to make it sound like older albums, but Danni just doesn't have the voice he used to, but the way he screams, you can't keep that up. The only gripe I have is that there is never a FVCK YA! point!
