An ingenious masterpiece!

Anathema - a band that I've only met with "Alternative 4" and I immediately fell in love. This roller coaster rides - even quiet music with sung or spoken text, backed by soft piano sounds - and then quickly sung passages, with fast, restless music - these are big emotions!
Gloomy Lyrics, clearly sung, played without hassle, every song fits perfectly into the concept, not a superfluous piece.
While enter the bonus tracks from the series, not quite follow the concept but totally convincing. Especially "Better Off Dead" is the hit of the album. A quiet piano song, with a gloomy, depressive lyrics - sung by a beautiful female voice.
So music has to be.
