After the mildly disappointing Alternative 4, Anathema strikes back with Judgement. Upon first listen, the music and message seem a bit mellow for these doomy metal moguls. Second listen is like a magical rediscovery of a lost art form, the art of creating simple, depressing hard rock that is so emotionally expressive that it bends one's own constitution. Quiet and introspective on songs like "One Last Goodbye" and "Anyone, Anywhere," Anathema has the ability to spew forth raw, volcanic pain on cuts like "Judgement" and "Pitiless" -- the last of which contains the most heart-wrenching solo the Cavanagh brothers have ever penned. Drummer John Douglas also surprises, making an amazing contribution to the album, by writing two of the most memorable songs, "Don't Look Too Far" and "Wings of God." The first is a gorgeous Porcupine Tree-like tune with somewhat upbeat female vocals and melodies. "Wings of God," on the other hand, seems to be a literal interpretation of the album cover, which appears to be God's blinding eye looking down upon the cursed world. One will be amazed at how unconventionally heavy this album really is. It even has a tendency to sap one's strength, upon repeated encounters. Judgement is truly a blinding masterpiece, which pierces the senses with its intensity. Hail Anathema's sorrowful return! ~ Jason Hundey

I find myself walking through ruined archways in a sunlit forest while listening to this atmospheric album-it's romantically depressing yet written so beautifully.It truly takes you somewhere else.And Mr.Cavanagh's voice is both soothing and heart-wrenching,I love this stuff.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Lovely!
A beautiful, soft, melancholic, and flowing cd. This band just has an amazing way with words. One Last Goodbye is absolutely heart wrenching. You can listen to this cd all the way through and there isn't one bad song! This was the first cd I got by this band and it definitely won't be the last. Amazing.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No One of their Best
This is probably one of the best Anathema albums up to date (not counting the pure Doom albums from the beginning). Melodic, sad and somehow enlightening. After listening you don't feel sad, more so, you actually feel releived (spelling). Definatly worth buying, I have not had any regrets doing so myself.
On a side note, great cover artwork as well.

Judgement album
 $14.65   
Lush isn't an adjective that one would have used to describe Anathema in the early to mid-'90s; back then, the British band was often described as blistering, ferocious, and brutal. But Anathema has changed considerably since then, and 2001's A Fine Day to Exit is, in fact, a lush and highly melodic effort that has very little in common with their early releases. While the old Anathema was an underground metal band, this CD has nothing to do with metal -- even those who have an extremely broad definition of the term heavy metal would agree there's no way that A Fine Day to Exit should be described ...

"It’s very hard for me to separate the events of my life from music in general. It’s as if with every song and every album there’s a memory to go along with it.An event. A place. A person. A time. A car ride when I was 16. A wedding when I was 9. A party when I was in college. Just so we’re clear…I’m not just talking about my music. I’m talking about all music." The Childhood Years "My father was a DJ. He knew everything about the music and the bands of his generation. I was lucky...so lucky as to be brought up in an environment where music meant so much. "Taking the two hour drive home from my grandparents always turned into a competition between my brother and I as to who could name the artist, title, and year of a song on the oldies radio show. We had to learn how to distinguish between the sounds of the different bands. Is this the Dave Clark Five, The Beatles, or the Monkees? At the age of 10 that’s a tough call. "While my father was a DJ, he would always bring home the latest records, and yes, I know I’m dating myself by calling them records, but it’s really the most appropriate name. As a result at a very young age I was able to play the songs I wanted to hear - when I wanted to hear them. I was able to develop my own soundtrack. It seems like every year since 1988 there’s been one album that I must have listened to a million times." (see right column) The Early Adulthood Years "My freshman year of college at the University of Buffalo… was eye opening to say the least. After spending my whole life surrounded by music I was suddenly becoming involved in it. "I became the lead singer for a band. We were awful, but it was a great experience. That year was the fist time I ever picked up a guitar. The kid across the hall from me got an acoustic guitar from his mother for his graduation gift. After a week ...

| | Makeshift No 4 Compilation CD (2007)
Judgement songs
$20.25
Ever since 2000's The First Broadcast, with its hand-crafted orange, white, and blue cardboard cover, showed up in my Flyer mailbox after just a couple of weeks into the job, I've looked forward to Makeshift compilations, which have evolved into quasi-definitive snapshots of a certain segment of the city's Midtown-based indie-rock scene.The latest installment, Makeshift 4, doesn't have as much musical variety as some past editions, which made room for hip-hop or spoken-word poets, instead investigating the four corners of the city's guitar-based underground: indie-rock, alt-country, punk, and garage-rock. Frequent Flyer contributor Andrew Earles does check in with a comedy bit, "Andrew Dice Clean," though it can't match his howling post-Bonnaroo prank call ("You're Harshing My Trip") from Makeshift 3.But Makeshift 4 is -- by far -- the biggest compilation Makeshift has ever released, packing 46 songs and 147 minutes of music across two discs. ("We could have made it three discs," says J.D. Reager, who sequenced, mixed, and partially recorded Makeshift 4 at his Unclaimed Recordings studio, "but that would have been stupid.") It's a lot of music to absorb, but most of it falls into now familiar Makeshift-comp categories. Here's some help sorting it all out:Makeshift regulars: The Coach & Four, whose bracing guitar-pop debut Unlimited Symmetry was one of Makeshift's finest moments, return with "Hearts and Arrows." Blair Combest's warm, gravelly voice is in fine form on "In Her Eyes." The Antique Curtains take spaghetti-western soundtrack music on a punk-rock spin with "Ryno's Bag of Tricks."Scene ...
