Paradise Lost have once again surpassed itself. After very very good album "Icon" now came the album of the decade of the music scene. I must say that I have long been a loyal supporter was at the time and already had all hitherto published albums and hear since ancient days, but when I grabbed this album in my player, everything else was forgotten. The best on the new album the guys from Halifax is the variety. All items are always best suited to leave alone his mind wander. The hard, dark riffs and guitar sounds are the background to this leading classics. "Encantment" and "Shades of God" are part of my favorite pieces. I'm running it even today (8 years later!) Still cold down the spine when I am in my car allude this title and hear the memorable voice of Nick, such as in "Enchantment": [...] REVERSE THE Frown AND LET THE POWER SURGE [...] - those passages together with the sound are still absolutely world class and still unrivaled. However, "Draconian Times", in view of all the older albums differently. Each title is absolutely top notch and had a video deserves. Among the best and most impressive live (from personal experience) songs include "Hallowed Land," The Last Time "and especially" Hands of Reason ". The slightly faster pieces" Once Solemn "and" Forever Failure "let the heart of every connoisseur beat. Will buy this disc and enjoy this wave of emotions. Dark, sad but also fiery and powerful. One of the best albums, which can be had in this genre at that time and at present (!) !!!
