Anathema, hailing from Liverpool, England started its career within the burgeoning Doom Metal scene of the early 1990's where loud, screaming vocals, big guitars and a crunching, dirge-like advance was the recipe of the day. But there was something different about this band, something that could be seen from the onset, taking shape on releases The Silent Enigma and Eternity but not fully realized until their 1998 release Alternative 4.

I don't have any problem with it sounding a bit like Porcupine Tree 'cause I love that band. Besides what Anathema offers us on this album is not as much progressive as atmospheric rock. Probably this is the album for a certain kind of mood, but it seems I never was into that kind of mood.  That's why I find it more boring than any album they released before or after that.

My first album of their discography. it has some pretty outstanding moments and no bad ones. great. panic and temporary peace, obvious choices, are my fav ones.

Not bad, not good. I have to tried to find some single songs from all their albums for future listens, and from this album I haven't found any yet. I'd almost call it forgettable as the individual songs seem, but fully listened I think it leaves better impression. Listen in a one sitting or no listen at all IMO.

Written by JOPE OF STEELE on 20.05.2020 at 09:42 If I were picking Anathema songs for future listening, from this one I would choose Release. It is much better than the rest here, but not that spectacular either.

Written by Redel on 20.05.2020 at 15:12 You may have a point when it comes to this album. However I don't think it quite compares to best Anathema songs.

Written by JOPE OF STEELE on 20.05.2020 at 15:47 No, that it certainly doesnt. I was just picking a highlight from this album. That said I agree that essentially it is a "spin it or dont" album. The album creates a nice atmosphere, which you dont get if you only play one or two songs. But you may also claim that this atmosphere does not do you any more than put you to sleep.
