so I'm guessing the best place to start with Anathema is here or Judgement?

and does they have any death/doom stuff seeing as they're often compared to Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride?

I am aware that this or Judgement can barely be called metal. I'm just wondering which of their releases are death/doom seeing as they are one of the big 3 of death/doom and i can't be bothered to find out myself ;)

I will give this a go but I'm probably going to put it on the backburner for a bit. Everything I've heard by these guys has been ok but nothing worth listening to a couple more times. Loved the review!

Is there any chance for this to be better than Alternative 4??

The "Angels Walk Among Us" demo was a lot better than the version on this record. Whole album is pretty dreary except some great moments.

@ FTB, their first album 'Serenades' contains some death/doom elements and 'The Silent Enigma' a little bit.



@ scissorlocked: This is better than anything they've ever done before.

Album is seriously amazing. Dreaming Light is incredible - maybe my song of the year.

I was waiting for you to review this. Album has been getting lots of praise but I have heard very, very little from this band so I don't know if I will check it out.
Haha. Based on the comments, everyone thought I was going to review this. If you were going to check out this particular era of the band (i.e. not the doom era), then I would suggest this as a good starting point -- or Judgement for a bit more of a streamlined gothic rock sound.
Was going to review this, but very glad you did instead. Great review, great album, though my score would probably be a bit lower.
If you're going to give it a lower score, I don't see why you still wouldn't review it to provide an alternate perspective.
"Also, the fact that Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) is attached to the project "



Buzz kill.
He only mixed the album. He had nothing to do with the production or direction of the songsā€¦ although his influence is still felt ;)
and does they have any death/doom stuff seeing as they're often compared to Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride?
Serenades is the only doom album of theirs that's really worth spending any of your time on.
The "Angels Walk Among Us" demo was a lot better than the version on this record. Whole album is pretty dreary except some great moments.
Really? I liked the final versions on the album much more than the three demo versions.
Dreaming Light is incredible.
Definitely. I keep playing that one over and over.

I got bored with this after a few songs, but I'll definitely give it another listen. Excellent review.

Absolutely amazing. Couldn't be more in love with this album if I tried.



By the way, Dreaming Light is great but Everything, Angels Walk Among Us, Thin Air and A Simple Mistake all surpass it. I just can't think of how this album could be any better.
