i like paradise lost a lot. shades of god, icon, one second and host are my favorites, i guess.

are you serious? imho, the new one is a huge improvement compared with the self titled. it's the first PL album i really like since 'Draconian Times' and i almost had to force myself to give them another try. now i'm glad i did it. comparing 'In Requiem' to 'Paradise Lost' or the few ones before is almost like comparing 'Tonight's Decision' with the Monokromia garbage...ok, not that drastic, but almost ;-)
it's clear 'Gothic' will stay the unmatched masterpiece, but i think i can place the new one quite near the standards of 'Draconian Times' , 'Icon' or 'Shades Of God'
