Rated 6/10

Industrial 80's sound is cool, unlike any of the songs. Would not listen again

Rated 6/10

Not bad

Rated 6/10

It was fine, I quite liked Lucretia My Reflection.

Apart from reading about the melodrama of the band during the recording, I'm unsure what else is noteworthy for this to be on 1001. 2.5

Rated 6/10

I may be a closet goth, and I'm all for minimalism, but this one falls a little flat. Perhaps intentionally so, but still. The cover kinda cracks me up. Almost looks like a parody of a goth rock album from a sketch comedy show or something. It screams: Yes, I'm the mysterious and moody genius behind the creation of this record... and this other person behind me in the shadows kinda helped too...

Rated 10/10

Love the way the tracks merge into one another, perfectly executed.

Rated 8/10

broughton girlies get it x

Rated 6/10

I just had a hard time really getting into this one. I like some goth-rock and some of the tracks on this were good, and I never wanted to turn it off, but I can't see myself choosing to listen to it again anytime soon.

Rated 10/10

I was really caught off guard by how much I liked this. Considering how much time I didn’t spend with it during formative years, my tastes definitely seem to align really well with gothic stuff whenever I come across it. much to think about.

Rated 4/10

Very odd, which is not a bad thing! Some songs sounded like rammstein covering Kenny Loggins, others like David Bowie fronting a particularly gloomy Echo & the Bunnymen, and one sounded like a piano ballad from some schlocky horror movie. I would never have found this on my own, and would not have expected it to sound like this based on what I had heard of the band before.
Loses a star for not having a proper drummer.
