Lacuna Coil - Comalies [2002]

May 18th, 2008

Lacuna Coil’s third full-length disc will not disappoint fans of the group’s stately goth pop; led by the excellent tag-team vocals of Cristina Scabbia and (male vocalist) Andrea Ferro, the Italian sextet continues to produce top-notch atmospheric rock that defies easy categorization. Although there are occasional lapses into conservative craftsmanship (”Self Deception”) and trite lyrics, there are also some nice experimental touches, like the attention-grabbing start/stop digital editing in “Aeon.” Review by Andy Hinds @ allmusic.com
