Paradise Lost make a big change in sound; not quality

Review Score:

(8/10)
With the release of One Second, Paradise Lost continue the progression they have made from album one. Not content to stay in a death metal pigeonhole, Paradise Lost have finally transformed themselves into the gothic rock band they have always hinted they were.

Say Just Words gives the listener a taste of old Paradise Lost but do not be surprised by what else you hear. Paradise has lightened their sound on this one, preferring to move to a more mood oriented sound. They probaby saw all the copycat bands of their style and decided the time had come for a change. Certainly the new material doesn't kick with the same force as Draconian Times but it is their first step in a new direction and a welcome change for older fans. I look forward to seeing where they take this new sound.
