TdV has always been a band stuck in the 'guilty pleasure' and for good reason. Their music is so corny, so cliche, so full of gimmicks and sometimes outright stupid shenanigans that you always have to take them with a grain of salt. This did not help them throughout their career to reach at least half of the level of popularity Cradle of Filth enjoys, despite the fact that both bands share many things in common. However, Dani Filth at least had a more realistic vision and a tad bit more talent at finding musicians to enhance his vision from a musical point of view. TdV was not blessed with this, as such they never really released a great album. Suicide Vampire came closest. Even Sonya's stage antics and skimpy outfits did not help the band become more notorious which kinda shows that even among the more fetish-oriented metalheads, fan-service is not enough to sell your music. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean they can't be catchy while being simplistic. On this album they play a mix of gothic metal with industrial and symphonic elements which is very unpretentious. The highlights tracks 2, 6, 8 and 10. Tracks 2 and 7 are solid while the rest are filler material or outright shit (tracks 3 and 4). If you are looking for something light to listen to, unpretentious, with a good production and slightly weird vocals, then give this one a go.
