UMUR
"The Last Time" is an EP (some say single) release by UK doom/ goth metal act Paradise Lost released in May 1995 by Music for Nations. The release contains 4 tracks. The title track would also be featured on the June 1995 full-length studio album "Draconian Times". The 3 remaining tracks are exclusive to this release. Or rather they were originally exclusive to this release as the full EP was re-released as part of "The Singles Collection" in 1997. That compilation is as the name says a collection of Paradise Lost singles and EP tracks released by Music for Nations.

While I think "Draconian Times" is predominantly a doom metal release with goth metal leanings, this EP is more a goth metal release with doom metal leanings. "The Last Time" is through and through a goth metal track and the solid cover version of "Walk Away" by The Sisters of Mercy further points in that direction. Both tracks are very enjoyable, which can´t to the same extent be said about the more standard "Laid to Waste" and "Master of Misrule". The former is one of the weaker Paradise Lost tracks from this period while the latter is pretty good but still obviously an outtake from the "Draconian Times" sessions.

All in all a pretty good EP with a couple of solid tracks. It probably has more of a collector status today because of the availability of the tracks on "The Singles Collection", but back when this was released, it was a nice addition to my Paradise Lost collection. A 3 star rating is warranted.
