This album is a collection of plagiarism! From time to time I hear riffs copied word for word from "velvet darkness they fear" by Theatre of Tragedy. But the most shameful song is "sister nightfall." Besides plagiarizing "lethargica," it reminds me of a melody I heard in World of Glasse by Tristania, perhaps in "tender trip on earth." Anyway, the guitars are really boring on this album, too hissing and monotonous.

My God, a gothic romance had me laughing my head off. This band is supposed to be intimidating, but those screeching growls are hilarious. But do they hear those after recording their songs?

Once, I really liked Sirenia, but the more I listen to them, the more I realize they put smoke in my eyes with so many gaudy elements: choirs, keyboards, growls, and enchanting female vocals. The songs are very repetitive, and even after months, I can't think of a specific one to listen to because I still can't recognize them. To the fans of Tristania who lament Veland's departure, I respond: - Luckily! Otherwise, that egocentric would have turned them into a gaudy band like Sirenia. -

I really enjoyed this album, precisely for the delicacy and clarity it evokes. It’s also a concept album that refers to a central theme of Norwegian literature, namely the Viking who goes to sea and his wife who waits for him. Perhaps it’s Liv Kristine’s voice, so angelic and pure, that makes one fall in love, but in my opinion, this album is very evocative.

Well, the first album was a bit monotonous but enjoyable in the long run. This second work, on the other hand, sometimes veers into Amy Lee's self-celebratory vocalizations. Nice, more gothic than the previous one, but compared to other gothic bands like Within Temptation, it doesn't hold up.

This is 70s disco and 80s dance to the power of ten, mixed with the most contemporary electronics. The question is: Do you like Saturday Night Fever? Do you like Donna Summer? Do you like synthesizers? Do you like strobe balls? I love it to death, and this record is so perfect, nostalgic, and at the same time modern, that I would scream miracle. It's a matter of taste. It's obvious that a rock aficionado can't appreciate it.

Stripped was an album that was too R&B for me, but exceptionally full of contaminations. The first CD of btb, on the other hand, is the usual anonymous and repetitive R&B CD that could carry the name of Beyoncé, Maria Carey, or Lil Kim without raising anyone's eyebrows. The second CD, however, is of such superior quality that it creates too great a contrast with the first. Christina, make an album just like the sparse 8 songs plus intro from the second CD, and then you'll earn my unconditional love, but in the meantime, don't go around boasting that you've drawn from the music of the past if 70% of the CD is just the same old luxury ghetto fare.
