    Best of luck waiting for it through cd wow. There have been lots of problems with their Irish deliveries in recent months.



    I have the album, it is very very much like Evanescence, but is still a decent album as Scabbia is a good singer and it has some catchy songs on it. For me it is a stronger but much more commercial album than Karmacode.

    got an email to say album was dispatched yesterday. cant wait to listen to it whenever it arrives. got it for 7.99 bargain or what :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    Its fairly meh, imo. Its in the vein of Karmacode, which I didnt like.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭villains77


    mixed reaction so far then :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,065 ✭✭✭✭Malice


    I've given it a few listens and so far I have to say it's not bad although nothing has really grabbed me yet. Lacuna Coil albums often take a while to grow on me though so my opinion might change.

    I agree with Nightwish, it's quite like a continuation of Karmacode so I reckon if you liked that album, you'll like this one.

    This makes me a sad panda. Karmacode sucked. :(

    Haven't really liked the few songs I have heard off this album.

    Karmacode isn't as good as some of their earlier work but to say it sucked is a bit harsh. I reckon Enjoy The Silence, Fragile, Our Truth and What I See are great songs.

    it arrived yesterday morn. a few good songs on it more i listen to it the more it grows on me. i thaught karmacode was an allright album

    It's a good but not great album, I was expecting more - espicially as they had a bigger budget, more time to prepare and record it.

    Will give it a few more listens though.

    I think this album some quality songs such as I Like It and Oblivion (imo) but overall i'd class the album as good, not great. Preferred Karmacode myself :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 253 ✭✭Dante09


    much preferred karmacode tbh


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,272 ✭✭✭✭Max Power1


    after a few listens, i dont like this as much as their other stuff. Spellbound is a decent pop-rock track but apart from that not much worth noting.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭villains77


    spellbound is good track allright.some good songs on it allright but its like karmacode all over again. there great live i must say seen them in the olympia one night a few yrs bk. great show

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11 s00057232


    are lacuna coil good live??????
    she has an unreal voice mite head up


  • Registered Users Posts: 763 ✭✭✭Nephilim Wolf


    I'm not being smart but I thought this was a very shallow and commercial album, and not even a patch on their older stuff. OP you should check out 'Unleashed Memories'. That is a really good album, and well worth hearing.:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,299 ✭✭✭villains77


    anyone want to meet up for a few before hand cant wait it be my second lacuna coil gig was at olympia the last time they played great live.
