Interesting move for Paradise Lost

Review Score: (8/10)
As with all bands who show dramatic stylistic changes, Paradise Lost is bound to encounter some heavy resistance to it's latest, One Second. Eschewing their former slow grind for a more user-friendly pop take take on the goth world, longtime fans are likely to be disappointed. Newcomers to the band who didn't fall in love with their established sound should find something to like, however. The songwriting is above average for the genre, and the playing is far more inventive than most bands of this nature. It's not the old Paradise Lost, but it's also not a bad entry into a more radio-ready world. Lose your preconceived notions of what this record should be, and you might find yourself enjoying it more than you think.
