While mostly a pure pop band, Paradise Lost's new album "One Second" also
utilizes quite a few Gothic and Darkwave elements as well. Unfortunately it
seems that the band has only chosen to use those elements in an effort to
escape the Dark Metal path they have followed for years. As a result these
elements seem to only be used as introductions and closings of songs rather
than as core elements for any of the tracks. So the music comes off as rather
cheesy ballads and dark themed poetry without any real passion behind it. The
whole album sounds like a attempt to utilize the latest musical trend and try
to make it big. Luckily the Paradise Lost does a rather pathetic job at trying
to be Gothic and the album falls flat on it face rather quickly. Let this be a
warning to other bands who lack the true convictions for this type of music to
not try and duplicate this effort.
