CRADLE OF FILTH — Thornography (review)

3.5/5 ·
Warthur
After overreaching themselves on Damnation and a Day and taking the whole "back to basics" idea a little too far on Nymphetamine, Cradle of Filth seemed to regain their equilibrium on Thornography. Not as overblown as Damnation and not as over-sparse as Nymphetamine, Thornography is Cradle doing what they do best: goth-tinged extreme metal with silly lyrics about sex and horror. This time around, a few of the segments with clean vocals almost seem to show a very, very mild influence from Opeth, though we're still miles away from prog metal territory. On the whole, it's not a brilliant album, but it's an entertaining and listenable one which sets goals for itself which aren't too ambitious and doesn't have too much trouble achieving them.
