Draconian Times [Legacy Edition] (CD)

Customer Review

I take this Legacy reissue, double CD / DVD, to say how much I love this album, which remains even today one of the peaks of the metal all genres. Unfortunately, it remains a rather unique case in the Paradise Lost discography ...

For, unlike the other group opus, this one has an impressive homogeneity and a monstrous sound that make it a baroque work with a great intensity. Everything is perfectly calibrated, mastered. The songs alternate moments of calm and flights of Gothic. Singing, guitars, drums complement and magnify each other ... A group in grace!

I know nothing of what we can really compare it. Sometimes accents include "Black Album" by Metallica ... and slower ... and on some tracks snippets of pop influences ....!

The album released in 1995 is now in its Legacy release, remastered and supplemented with bonus live registered in Germany the same year, as well as the 1994 demos and a DVD. (It is available in full listening on Deezer). Despite its excellence, it nevertheless not among the selection retained in the recent book editions of the Word and the Rest "Hard 'n' Heavy: Zero Tolerance for Silence - 1978 -2010".

... In my opinion a big mistake !!!
