After three amazing albums ANATHEMA return with quite a different sounding record in "A Natural Disaster". The focus is on the lyrics which look at those internal disasters we all go through. And i must say the lyrics are brilliant.The music is sad with no real outbreaks making this a tough listen for yours truly. After the tour for "A Fine Day To Exit" Danny Cavanagh left the band distraught over the lack of success for that particular record. He joined former ANATHEMA member Duncan Patterson's ANTIMATTER band helping out with their "Saviour" release. He returned along with new member Jamie Cavanagh(Vincent's twin) to create this album. Maybe it was his time with ANTIMATTER that moved Danny to go in this more Gothic style but one thing is clear this was Danny's baby. The previous albums had been very much band efforts but Danny was the driving force here. After this record the band would completely change their style as "We're Here Because We're Here" demonstrates. "A Natural Disaster" is a good record but for me it pales when compared to the previous three.
