This blog contains no downloads only opinions. The plan is to rate every album I own, eventually... 99% of which are Metal!

LACUNA COIL - Shallow Life (2009)


MMMM

Oh deary me, one glance at the reviews on Metal Archives will tell you that I am out of step with the rest of the world on this one. For me, Lacuna Coil started wonderfully with their debut mini-album and got slowly worse with each release. How shocked was I then when I picked this up and found the band moving into slightly poppier territory and sounding much better for it. This style absolutely plays to the band's strengths and gives Christina the chance to shine. Sadly, rumour has it that the new album will be 'heavier', which I imagine means that they will be returning to their dreary (but commercially successful) previous style. Shame.
