Lake Of Tears is back with their third studio album, their first stroll down to mellower fields and their first approach out of the Doom into the Gothic area. A Crimson Cosmos is a fantastic album full of magical stories and fairy tales, the artwork and the inside booklet are really dreamy, each song has an extraordinary drawing reminiscent of a child tales book.

I have a feeling band was smoking pot when wrote this one, it has heavy songs in begging, but later goes to softer sound, and I like song crimson cosmos, I like name crimson its beautiful f we visually image it, but bst songs are in the begging lost real doom sound and went to gothic . Boggie Bubble and Devils Diner are best songs

If you like trippy as hell Gothic, like Tiamat's Wildhoney, then this is right up your street, you only have to look at the album cover to know how this is going to sound.
It's obviously a different approach to his previous albums, I'm probably guessing because he was high as a kite when he made this, but he hadn't completely lost the plot, there is some pretty cool songs here like, Devils Diner, Boogie Bubble, and Cosmic Weed, but the highlight for me is the mellow Lady Rosenred, which is a nice soft and slightly trippy song.

Yes, Lady Rosenred is clearly the highlight here, one of my all-time favourites by the band. I also like the title track, most of the rest not that much though.

Not worse than "Headstones" or "Forever Autumn". Each of them is a bit different, even unique, and for different mood and time, but all three are very creative and emotional. Even better, they somehow stay fresh through all these years. Love them.
