 ‘As The Light Does The Shadow’ is an uninspired, grinding, and weakly prolix album.

 Nick Holmes... seems decidedly irritated and subdued. That’s the case in this live performance. Too much Guinness, Nick?!?

This review examines Paradise Lost's One Second live VHS recorded in 1998, capturing the band at a transitional phase before their 1999 stylistic shift.

 "An overly ambitious and redundant product, baroque in the worst sense, theatrical yes but... Comical."

 "All the rest is lace, frills, and dark lipstick on a water heater..."

This review harshly criticizes Drastique's 2003 album Pleasureligion as an overambitious and redundant electro-goth record. The addition of new band members did little to improve its theatrical but comical sound. Lyrics try for depth but come off as embarrassing, and the music is confusing with harsh vocals and clashing elements. Only the cover of Sandra's 'Maria Magdalena' is deemed tolerable. Discover why Drastique's Pleasureligion divides opinion—listen now and decide for yourself!
