Good music if you aren't sweet enough for Avril Lavigne. Teeny bopper Goth. Boring.

This is the bands most solid effort. Some of the others border on greatness while this one achieves it well.

Good basic rythms, worthy of classic rock or metal. Great vocals that interchange male to female from verse to chorus. He has a slight raspy feel, but not any annoying cookie monster crap, while she is just angelic sounding. The music also has a slight goth tinge, but what rock/metal band hasn't tinged their music with something ? It's not too much that it will keep a non gothic fan from liking it, but maybe just maybe enough for the goth fan. The music also has a slight atmospheric feel to it at times, I think it's her voice, along with the touch of keyboards in the background at times. A solid album without fillers.

Lacuna Coil's Comalies and Unleased Memories are master pieces. Every last song is perfect. I've listened to both CDs all the way through over a dozen times and loved every song. That has never happened for any other CD for me and both are by the same band.

I listened to various snippets of songs from 2 Lacuna Coil albums on Amazon (this one plus "Unleashed Memories"), and was initially blown away by Cristina Scabbia and the musicality of this band. However, after receiving the actual CD's, I was grossly disappointed...The male singer absolutely, unequivocally ruins every song he joins in on (which is 90% of the time). This in turn just makes the music seem clown-like, pathetic and campy at best. Very sad - I really wanted to like this band. They should eject the male singer and let Scabbia take the lead entirely to herself. Pathetic...Just wish I'd known this before I wasted my cash on not one, but two of their CD's.
