listen very carefully...
I try to be open minded towards all types of music. . as long as it sounds good of course and has feeling behind it, its enjoyable to me. ive always liked hard, doom metal but even if you dont like that genre, you will still probably enjoy this. the music is hard, but the pace isnt always fast. in fact, much of the time its very slow. but the vocal style is what really sold this album for me. at times it sounds as if hes nearly crying while hes singing. that might sound gay, but the vocals compliment the music perfectly. and alot of doom bands sing about hate, the devil, hypocracies, etc. not MDB. they sing of life and love and with a mix of hard music it blends surprisingly well. my fav song from this album is for you. at about 4 mins 30 secs the songs kicks into overdrive and then stops, and kicks in again around 5. 30. all songs blend well on the album and feel as they belong together. in all, try this album. i cant believe it hasnt gotten more acclaim. it truly rocks but in a poetic type way. .


A Little Dissapointing.....
x% complete, this is probably the album I like least of the MDB catalog. Ignoring 34. This album seems to be missing the emotion of the typical MDB product and has more of a 'rock' feel to it. A lot of the tracks have 'bouncy' almost happy feel to them. Now don't get me wrong, its not "REM Shiny Happy People happy". It just seems more upbeat than other albums MDB have produced. The guitar sound on this album is a little annoying. Another thing about this album is that most of the songs are shorter, and if you notice that the guitars are playing the same notes on both left and right channels. On most MDB albums, you have them playing on different scales, with one guitar accompanying another. This album sounds very flat in general, with few tracks standing out. Like Gods of the Sun, For You, Grace Unhearing and All Swept Away, For My Fallen Angel are good tracks. The Dark Caress, It Will Come, Here in the Throat and are skippable. The extra track at the end is nothing to write home about.

This album just didn't do it for me. . . it's just a little inconsistent.


MANDATORY DOOM!!!!!
MDB are THE master's of DOOM. nothing can really touch their 90's album's!!

This was the FIRST MDB cd I got, I heard the song ''For You'' on tv and was blown away by their sound. . see MDB are my fave band ever. . granted they arent to great nowaday's but the amount of amazing album's they did will for ever be with me!!

The song's are a lot shorter on this one, but they still manage to DESTROY you. MDB were so UNIQUE. . nothing will ever touch them!! there is more of a CELTIC(meaning CELTIC. . not celtic frost!) feel to this album which is sorta weird for MDB. . but it work's very well

As I said this is MANDATORY. . always good for when your feeling down!

I must also say ''It Will Come(nightmare)'' is one creepy song. . picture the earth exploding to that song!!

BEAUTIFUL!!.


Gothic Metal at it's absolute BEST
This album is a MUST HAVE. This is Goth Metal at it's ULTIMATE. WARNING if you only like Doom metal or Death Metal rather invest in some of MDB's other albums, this one is not for you. All I can say is this album is brilliant. . . the BEST that My Dying Bride has to offer.

Beautiful, yet dissapointing for me

I've had heard some songs from the album, such as LGOTS,
For you. i just bought "Like Gods of the Sun" and I've heard it only once
(just too little time), but I think I have to write a review. A kiss to Remember,For my Fallen Angel and i had almost an idea of what it could contain:heavy and melodic guitars, as is the MDB standard, haunting violins and keyboards by the musical genious Martin Powell(such a shame and loss he left) and an overall dark atmosphere. The lyrics not at all depressing, but God-questioning sometimes, depicting the malice of the world, Aarons dissapointment with the current status of our world, erotic and dark.

Let's come to Aarons vocals. I have to recognise Aaron as a great singer, who evolves through the years. He has a nice-positioned voice, deep, not extravagant and not abused. So far for his clean vocals. My only dessappointment is that this album is totally devoid of harsh vocals, something I was expecting for so old a release.

So, I recommend it to any fan of My Dying Bride, but not to anyone who wants to hear the brutal harsh singing of Aaron.

I give this album 5 stars due to its musical ingenuity and quality, and also because MDB are worth it.
