Artist: Paradise Lost
Album: Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us Old Rating: 4.5/5 Verdict: So here we are, album #200 of The Great Collection Rediscovery and it probably isn't much of a surprise what I picked for this milestone given how I've been mostly focussed on Paradise Lost lately - such a great band that it's very easy to go through the whole discography of and never have time to get bored due to how often they're changing things up. On this one they brought the doom metal back a whole lot more into the gothic metal sound. Some here tend to point to The Plague Within as the true point that they brought the doom back, but it's actually here, though the much more gothic Tragic Idol is stuck in between the two albums. This one is really great; heavy like In Requiem and then some because of the increased doom presence, and with perhaps less commercial sounding song-writing compared to their best known records. Not one to be skipped. New Rating: No Change.
