Angered by this "fraud on Fan" I wanted to banish host immediately in the trash, as this publication a good metal band was not worthy and against "Gothic" and "Shades of god" like a bad joke seemed to me.
Electronic sounds, coupled with a slow sound? No more heavy riffs and the whole thing sounded superfluously somehow similar to Depeche Mode yet.
My girlfriend gave me his time after luckily from the destruction of this album.
A few weeks later she put the disk in a ceremony back in the CD player and the host was the hit of the evening and ended up in the infinite loop because every guest liked this music wholeheartedly. After three (involuntary) runs, I had at least something to make friends with this new style, which has over time should improve but.
The Presence:
Today, now almost 16 years later, I think completely different about this CD. The part I've heard 150 times determined and a Paradise Lost fan, I am still and can name all discs that band my own.
What is it about host to so that I now located for overwhelming? The answer does not come to me necessarily easy:
Some songs are simply brilliant and eat in the cerebellum despite all elekronischen sounds permanently fixed.
To be fair, I must concede this disc a very special class flat. Songs like Nothing Sacred, in all honesty, It Is Too Late, Made The Same, Year of summer and host are just great. Which would also be very positive to note that the popular band "Depeche Mode" my wife has never been able to have written songs that class even begin ...
The consolidated metallers should listen in carefully - like it is completely determined by multiple passes - a certain tolerance should of course always be the basic requirement.
For the Depeche Mode and "New Wave Fan" will "host" to be a divine work - unfortunately, the followers of such music are my words never get to read, because who knows of this already Paradise Lost?
The Englishman beat for years the harder sounds now again, but host is certainly not a disgrace, but as a former development of the band to consider, which has meanwhile even taken a different path.
Conclusion:
Host is an album, which is all to yourself, because it is a lack of comparable to competition until today. Paradise Lost precisely who once done anything else. A gegnadete disc - an absolute must-have, unfortunately, almost no longer available for purchase.
