Alanis Morissette > Lacuna Coil

…except for So-Called Chaos. That album probably blows just as much as Shallow Life.

Lacuna Coil isn’t a band…it s just a singer who likes to act like a sexy diva,with some guys around her while she sings…however,this album is bland.Comalies is maybe their best one

Sorry for those all haters, but this band is great. Seriously I’d really like to hate them, but i can’t (just the same as In Flames…in spite of all the hate. I love ALL their albums, I can’t despise them). I follow Lacuna Coil since the first album, and they never make an identical album. Yes, this is not their best effort, and they’re not going to change the face of rock or metal, but they kick ass. Lacuna Coil pop? I dont care if this is even country for you.

okay to any Lacuna Coil haters out there. Go fuck yourself with a fucking loaf of bread. Cristina and Andrea are fuckin amazing and anyone who thinks otherwise should be shot.

I think, this album kicks ass, I have every album by them and have been a loyal fan since Unleashed Memories, which I think Unleashed Memories is the best. Shallow Life kicks ass, it’s different from any other LC album, yes the style has changed, a bit, still has that LC feel. Andrea is doing a lot more singing in this one, It’s alright I guess, but it kicks ass. And don’t compare them to GAYamore or Paramore, they suck bad lolz….
LC is just becoming more popular these days, what some popular, Gutar Hero, Rock Band playing mainstream fans don’t know, is that LC has been around for quite awhile now, they don’t even know they have 5 albums plus an ep.. pisses me off. So stop with this Lacuna Coil is pop now, try listening to all their album, then I guess judge…

Good review–you convinced me to give it a try at least. But I cannot in any way agree with your evaluation. Thanks anyway.

This sounds like true selling out…

Not like “Oh my gawd, my favorite band changed their singer and their image” selling out.

More like. “We’ve sacrificed everything for the sake of getting more radio singles” selling out.

I’m sure this will get a lot of “EVERY ARTIST IN THE INDUSTRY SELLS OUT!” but think about the interview with Christina. When she did that generic “I don’t care what critics think because we’re doing something different and anyone that doesn’t like it probably has no life.” thing that so many close to failing bands -cryptopsy- have done.

This review must be a joke…but it’s an understandable joke. He really just gives them points for being radio friendly and accessible, not for any sort of creativity.

Totally agree. They can still rip up a place or two.

<=== did not appreciate or get the In Flames jab. Sure, they are melodic as hell, but that doesn’t take anything away from their catchy heaviness.

i’ve heard all the songs a few times and i hate this style of bland pop. But these songs are so AWESOME. it seems like a paradox but i mean i don’t like what it is, but i love how good it is. i hate coffee too, but sometimes a gooey mocha hits the spot. does that make sense?
