One of Europe's best Goth-metal bands! August 13, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've loved these guys for years, and it's great to see the Koch label finally releasing all their albums in the States - long overdue! This earlier version of their goth-rock sound is basically Type O Negative meets Metallica. That simple. And yes, that good! Very moody and dark, but very metal. That would change with subsequent albums like "One Second" and especially "Host", where more electronics crept into the mix, along with the singer's decreasing reliance on the James Hetfield-isms of their earlier albums - i.e., better singing! The latest album "Believe in Nothing" returns them to a harder, guitar-oriented feel, while not losing the increasing electronic texture, which I think makes for their most compelling sound (and album) yet. God only knows what the new CD "Deus" is going to sound like! One of the best-kept secrets in goth-metal, but hopefully not for long!
Hard, heavy and dark! August 4, 2002

Draconian Times is a classic Paradise Lost Album. It is one of their heavier and more aggressive albums, but mixes in the same dark elements that made other Pl albums great. Nicks vocals are hard, aggressive, and sometimes dark and moody as well. This album rocks!
Gothic Metal at its absolute peak. December 29, 2003

Being one of Paradise Lost's best albums, and considering that Paradise Lost is one of the best Gothic Metal bands ever, "Draconian Times" packs a powerful punch. This is real headbanging metal. Yet it is so moving and emotional. If you are looking for "average" music, look elsewhere. This is good stuff. This CD turned the critics ears when it came out in 1995. Having finally got it for Christmas, I can safely say this is one of my favorite albums. If you like Gothic Metal, you should have heard of Paradise Lost by now. This is the third album I've bought of this band. Certainly, all other British bands pale in comparison to this one. Only the Swedish band Katatonia reeks emotion quite as much as these guys do.
Best Gothic Rock ever June 9, 2004
i am one of paradise losts biggest fans and this is there best album bar none it simply rocks has amazing riffs and gothic overtones there albums since and before this aint as good but not far off shades of god is a masterpiece also and icon if anyone likes rock or metal they should have this if they dont wellk they havent a clue
Hard rock. good stuff. January 26, 2008
I was searching around on my ipod and saw this so i decided to listen to it. This is some headbangin tunes from good ole Paradise Lost, a gothic metal type band. I would better classify this album Just good hard rock coming from the soul. Kind of like a mix between old Metallica, soil and a kind of old band like Spineshank, or even older like Alice in Chains. I'll be listening to it again and again after my first listen, i really like the force of energy this band has. U can really feel the chorus "forever failure", an Epic track... The musicianship quality of this band glows. It's great when a band can put out good rock records like this still. and good music in general if you are a true rock fan! I will give this album 5 stars for it's energy. Peace out yo. -Nitrus Da Pizza Master_
