Don't let the "goth" label throw you...
, March 18, 20032 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this Comalies review helpful This album doesn't sound too gothy. I found it by accident and love it. The album has a slightly dark feel, but it's not compeletly black or suicidal. Not hard to get into, provided you like Excellent vocals and some good guitar.
Now it's time to check out their previous works.

Pro Reviews: Comalies
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews 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." - Andy Hinds, All Music Guide |

Pros: Lush production; well-crafted songs, Cristina's voice
Cons: One tempo; English as a second language
While Italy's Lacuna Coil has been around for a few years, "Comalies" is really putting them on the map and deservedly so. While credit could be given to Amy Lee for bringing more attention to them, it was the least she could do it since it should be apparent to anyone with ears that Cristina Scabbia is an influence, and Lacuna Coil as a unit was the blueprint for Evanesence.
ot;, the beautiful "Aeon", and all of the other tracks make this an excellent overall CD. Those who like their metal quick, choppy and confrontational may find this CD boring. However, what it lacks in speed, aggression and technicality it more than makes up for with class, taste and digestibility. The perfect sondtrack for a sexy night full of promise, which I am sure was its intention.

"Comalies" is not only LC's best release but its a great release, period. Yes, the songs have a "pop" feel but only because they are well-arranged, the musicianship is solid but not complicated, and vocal hooks abound. Kudos to vet metal producer and musician Waldemar Sorychta for getting all of the elements to blend so seemlessly. Cristina's pure, angelic voice almost floats above the crunchy mid-tempo songs, and male vocalist Andi, while less used, is effective when it is his turn to sing, especially on heavier tunes like "The Prophet Said" and the title track. For those with keyboard allergies be assured that keyboards are definitely there, but they are not over-used and sit prefectly in the mix, giving that full "Goth" sound and adding just the right flourishes and touches. They also use samples but they too are used tastefully. The only small drawback are lyrics that are written in a language other than their native tongue. In the end, however, it is almost unimportant as this a band more about mood and texture than lyrical grandstanding.
"Heaven's A Lie" gets my vote for metal song of the year. The pop arrangement makes you feel like a sucker for falling into its trap, but it is definitely a sweet, extra crunchy treat, and the sing-along chorus performed by the two singers together is instantly memorable. The CD is worth owning for that song alone, but add other cuts like the opener "Swamped", the title track (mostly sung in Italian), "Self-Deception&qu
