Underappreciated! It's not a strange album at all, and if people would refrain from labelling it this way, it would gain the recognition it deserves, alongside jewels like "Host", "Blackacidevil" and "Roots".
Few bands can make an album that is totally different from the rest of their discography and still be appreciated both by first time and last time fans. My Dying Bride managed to make it. Outstanding song and outstanding album.
@BerryPitje It's a "strange" album, it is different from their past recordings, and also from those after this one. I learnt to appreciate it, at the beginning I didn't like it, but then it grew in me. Just don't start making comparisons with other MDB albums, that's the secret, IMHO, just enjoy the music.
I started to listen to this music when I was 15. Now I'm 28. When this album was released, it gave me a fresh new look of mdb because I thouth that they would never be better than they were in "turn loose the swans". i wouldn't say. he's genious or something but still I return to them every now and then just to get some rest from "main floor" popular these days.
I hear and read lotsa negativity toward this album. Whatever. I love it. Every note. Even Heroin Chic. This, along with Paradise Lost, Lake Of Tears, Fields Of The Nephilim etc etc, were my soundtrack of the late 80s/early-mid 90s. Love the dark and morose melodies.
I haven't heard this album yet... I see a lot of negative comments about this album... but this is the second song i hear, and i don't think it's that bad !!!
Journalists and people who write like they think they can give an opinion like, try to impose their impressions. Bullshit ! And in a way, it is good to enjiy what other not. Sorry for my bad english. 🇫🇷. Have a good day 🤘🏻
For some reason I find it typical of most 90's death/funeral doom bands to go in experimental directions if not just turning into a gothic metal band like Paradise Lost.
Странный альбом, странный альбом..... а что в 1999 Анафема сделала?..... ( хотя я и не фанат Анафемы) не "странный" альбом, что ли? Видимо, время такое было / пришло, делать "странные" альбомы))) P.S. это последний альбом МДБ, который мне понравился.
Yes this album is very polarizing and different but look at the latest electronic symphonic shit Aaron is doing. If you don't like it don't listen. I dislike a few tracks on the album. My Dying Bride is my favorite Metal band ever. There are good parts to this album. Heroin Chic is definitely my least favorite song from them. This one is good, Follower is good and Evander sinoque is good but I used to hate the album when it first came out.
This, for me, is one of the best MDB songs yet.

this is definitely feverish, devilish and not irrelevant.

not my favourite mdb album,but surely one of the best experimental metal album ever,hypnotic,cryptic and strange
Not fun of the band or the genre but this weird album has been with me for 20 years now
It's different than anything else they've ever done. However, sometimes I need this album like I don't need any of the others.

not the best MDB album but one of their the best songs... definitely!!!
