Reader Reviews
I must say I was surprised at my initial reaction to give this thing four stars. "Erased" is one of the weaker songs on Paradise Lost's album "Symbol of Life." It has a slightly outdated goth style and sounds like it was chosen to appeal to Germany's heavy music market, which eats this type of stuff up. It's a good enough song, but PL's usually tasteful use of female vocals goes overboard in a cheesy chorus replete with pseudo-tough guy anger. Don't completely count the song out, though-- it's got some great sounds and slick production to it. The real reason to buy this single is the two B-sides. Paradise Lost has a great tradition of excellent non-album songs, and "I Can Hate You" and "Deus" are two of their best in years. "I Can Hate You" resounds with a Aaron Aedy's sharp, vicious, and heavy guitar overlaid with guitarist Greg Mackintosh's superbly creative touches on lead guitar. PL does many things well, but this is what they do best-- rythmn guitar that could carry a song all by itself accompanied by brilliantly creative lead guitar on top of it. The song has an immediacy in its anger not found in most PL songs, which makes it a unique find-- you won't find a similar song in tone on any of their recent stuff. "Deus" continues with the excellent guitar work and inspired singing of Nick Holmes. If you are fond of older Pl material, this song will take you back somewhat, although it sounds much more "modern" thanks to Rhys Fulber's excellent production. As for the "enhanced" portion, the "Erased" video stuff is ok, although it won't blow anyone away. The live tracks don't sound very good-- this album is mainly worth it for the taste of "Symbol of Life" and the great non-album studio tracks.
