Artist: Paradise Lost
Album: Symbol of Life Old Rating: 4/5 Verdict: Paradise Lost in the first half of the 2000s isn't their strongest period, but it did produce Symbol of Life which may just be one of the band's most underrated albums. The mix of elements is similar to Believe in Nothing, but much more focussed on gothic metal again, arguably the most since Draconian Times, although there's also alternative and industrial metal elements like the prior album to be found here. What makes this a much better album though is they've turned it up a gear in song-writing. The band were still playing Erased from this album when I saw them on the Medusa tour, the only song featured that was released post-One Second until In Requiem's return to doomy gothic metal. New Rating: No Change.
