Call me a bumbling ignoramus, but for me the greatness of Anathema's early works is primarily associated with one particular musician: Duncan Patterson. I feel the same way with Antimatter, because contrary to popular belief that Leaving Eden is the magnus opus of the project founded by Patterson and Mick Moss, I feel those very special moments that can turn a good album into a real masterpiece only when both artists have participated.
It's the sophomore Lights Out that marks the most mature symbiosis of dark, atmospheric rock, gothic and trip hop in the band's impressive early phase and that best integrates the truly beautiful backing vocals of the two female guest singers. Needless to say, exactly 20 years after its release, also Moss' distinctive, warm voice has lost none of its allure.

Another one of those albums I never checked out for some reason. I loved the gothic/trip-hop/acoustic/alternative rock fusion that was in the debut and it turns out this one does follow that genre once again (and it'll be the last one to do so). I'd say it's darker and even more somber than the debut. It's difficult to sayw hich one I like the most. They both have a lot to offer.

If you think this album sucks then Everything You Know Is Wrong and you most probably just experienced a dramatic Reality Clash. If I were you, I'd better check if my "good taste in music"-certificate already Expired.
(can you spot the three tracks being my most favorite songs of this splendid work?)
