| Any fans of Anathema, paricularly this album?  This along with Theatre Of Tragedy-Velvet Dakness They Fear are two of my favorite death/doom albums. I stumbled upon this album in the metal section of a store in a Pensecola, FL mall (yes, they actually had a metal section...with real metal!). Before, I knew nothing at all about these guys and didn't know what to expect. However, the album cover promised me some dark metal. At first I wasn't sure what to think (the vocalists kind of threw me off) but it grew on me and now is one of my favorites. I tried some of their later stuff but they had changed too much for me to get into them. One of these days, I hope to find their debut (I know it was re-issued a while back but that was during a time I avoided most secular bands). |

| I think their early stuff is much different from the doomy Pink Floyd style they do now. I have:
A Fine Day To Exit
Alternative 4
Judgement
Eternity

You think? Haha. It's like a different band! I have Serenades, then the next in line is Judgement. I don't have everything in between. But I do like Serenades. Very raw, though. You could sort of see even on that album where the band was heading. |

My fave album from them. I love all their stuff up to Judgement, specially their early ones. |

| I think this album album is the greatest album from Anathema.
this one actually is continue of "Pentecost III" but more effective.
Of cause i have this one in my collection, all previous (crestfallen, serenades, pentecost), and some af the late period albums (eternity, 2003 & 98)
but this one is the best.
After this work one of the Cavanagh brothers goes out to The Blood Divine, and anathema lost doomy sound. |

| Later Anathema, while not bad, has become something completely different (as Eyesore said) from this album & thier Death/Doom beginnings. Unlike Paradise Lost and Amorphis, Anathema show no signs of returning to this sound.
Long live HEAVY Anathema! :bangyerhead: |

| TSE was actually the last Anathema that i liked. i just don't like the stuff they've done since. too light weight. _________________   |

| I consider Alternative 4 & Judgement to be the best albums by Anathema. I own every album seen them so many times I lost track... However, those two albums are simply 100% perfect. Killer songs, killer sound and killer everything.... |
