#GreatAlbums1990s – #ParadiseLost - #DraconianTimes (1995). Cloaking their songs in gothic regalia, England’s Paradise Lost found their own niche within the 90s metal cosmos, putting emotion and pathos over speed on tracks like “Hallowed Land” and “Shadowkings.” The band’s widescreen arrangements, including atmospheric keyboards and Gregorian vocal flourishes, exuded rare sophistication in an era when metal tended to wield simpler tools.

I hadn't expected the stylistic shift #ParadiseLost made between #DraconianTimes and #OneSecond, but I'm glad I stuck around and kept my ears and mind open, because it was a damn good album on its own merits.
