CD Reviews

I think I know whats going on

"Roadrunner records is thier current recording company and they used to be under Koch, I think Koch released all the stuff that they had rights too, that why anything after Lovecraft & Witchhearts isn't on here"
This is not official!

"This is from the band them selfs



"A box set has been released that is NOTHING to do with Cradle of Filth. Its not official & was never approved by the band. PLEASE support the band by buying OFFICIAL merchandise & not bootlegs or such like. Its not worth it & its very rare that a band supports unofficial pressings."



Do not buy this!!!!"
Great Collection

"First off: the band more or less didn't sanction this, but the record label that had rights to all these albums released them anyways more as a way to cash in. Doesn't mean it isn't a good collection.



All three main albums are excellent, not that the rest of Cradle's discography isn't anyways. These are all the albums released by Koch (Dusk and Her Embrace, Cruelty and the Beast (with a bonus disc), and Midian) as well as a "best of" up to Midian which is Lovecraft and Witch Heart.



Unfortunately, Lovecraft is the only place where I gripe, but not really for the reasons most others do. Most others feel it's pointless to have the songs on this album when most of them are already on the other discs. Well, the way they're organized is great and, in fact, I'd sometimes want to listen to Lovecraft over listening to the others separately (especially with the remixes and the material from the Cradle to Enslave EP) but the stuff from both V Empire and The Principle of Evil Made Flesh are esentially non-existant here. Queen of Winter, Throned; The Forest Whispers My Name, etc. were all definitely some of their best over almost anything on Lovecraft.



Despite this, all the albums are excellent. The collection is especially good and recommended for CoF newcomers, in my opinion. It both makes it easier to see how they've "evolved," if you will (seeing as how some fans think they should've stuck to their older style) and to just see where they started. Both Dusk and Midian are two of my all-time favorite albums.



Also worth mentioning is that the track Black Metal on the Cruelty bonus disc is not on Lovecraft and is a very good listen. The rest of the tracks are, although the versions of Hallowed Be Thy Name are slightly different. On either disc, however, it should also be noted for newcomers to stay away from the horrible dance remix "Twisting Nails Further." A good remix is the Thirteen Autumns and a Widow or Amore E Morte mixes on the Witch Heart disc, because they do little to alter the music but make a noticeable and all around better difference in the sound.



Great for Cradle newbies and highly recommended...even if it wasn't exactly sanctioned by the band."
