Emo bands, take note, this is what real sorrow sounds like
After the brilliant Silent Enigma and Eternity, Anathema get rid of a lot of the metal in their music to become fairly similar to Pink Floyd. However, they are better (And Floyd are certainly a good band), and I actually prefer this to Eternity and such. In this, Anathema portray utter hopelessness in all its glory... OK, so maybe glory wasn't the right word there. But it's still some amazing work. The most catchy song is Empty, which I must admit took me by surprise, but has grown on me now. However, my favourite song on the album is 'Lost Control'.
But the album on the whole is brilliant, so it's hard to pick a few best songs. Just buy it.
