As I Die

Reader Reviews
Paradise Lost have been unique over the course of their career in that they have repeatedly released EPs that are worth buying. This is not their best one, but a very good one nonetheless. The song "As I Die" marked a turning point in their sound, I think. It is at once doomy and crunchingly up-tempo, imaginatively written yet catchy. This was a single released in between the albums "Shades of God" and "Icon", and the popularity of the song among the die-hard fans of the band speaks for itself. "Rape of Virtue" is an excellent b-side, filled with excellent melodies and a rich guitar sound. Indeed, the EP is worth the money just for these two songs, although "Death Walks Behind You" is amusing. the live version of "Eternal" brings out the visceral character of the song, and is a good listen. This may not be as strong as the "Seals the Sense" or "The Last Time" EPs, but this one holds strong.
