(5 Customer Reviews)
Within Temptation presents MOTHER EARTH featuring 14 live and studio tracks including "Ice Queen" and "Dark Wings."
Somewhere between opera and Metallica lies Dutch goth-metal juggernaut Within Temptation. With ethereal banshee Sharon Den Adel on vocals and a bed of string-laden orchestration, Within Temptation has constructed a shockingly popular (at least in their home country) storm of gaudy, complex rock. Their platinum second album, MOTHER EARTH, contains their greatest commercial triumph, the smash single "Ice Queen," a steamroller of strings, synths, and crunching guitars. It also contains folk-inflected ballads like "Never-Ending Story," perfect for role-playing boys and shy Dutch girls at Ren Faires.
CD contains 4 bonus tracks.
Includes 4 bonus tracks: "Restless", "Bittersweet", "Enter (Live At Utrecht 1998)", & "The Dance (Live At Utrecht 1998)". Within Temptation Mother Earth Songs Mother Earth Music Review Average Rating: (4.2 out of 5 stars)   Title Track is the Highlight I thought I was getting something like a Dutch Nightwish, when actually this is a closer relation to The Gathering. Not very metallic, more moody and gothic, with some heavy elements. Sharon Den Adel is a more than capable vocalist, but is incredibly pitchy and screechy at times. When she calms down and sings a pretty ballad - especially “Never-Ending Story” and “In Perfect Harmony,” her voice is quite beautiful and moving. But on the whole, it’s just too lukewarm for my tastes. If you're looking for something nicely textured but not overly heavy, this is your cup o' tea. The title track is awesome, and at the time I am writing this, you can catch the streaming video for it on their website. Submitted by don.taylor (Concord, NH, USA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Excellent Very atmospheric and beautiful metal. Only sinlge complaint is the over-development of some of the songs. But it's a minor complaint. When you're in the right mood for it, this album is perfect. Submitted by Duncan (Texas) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
great gothic rock It will be great when this great Dutch gothic rockband will give some shows here in the USA.
Somehow this kind of music is still not populair in the States but hopefully that wil change in the near future

| | Lacuna Coil Comalies CD (2002)
Mother Earth
$12.85 Representing a classic case of delayed fame, Italian goth-metal act Lacuna Coil broke into the American music consciousness via a much talked-about showing on the Ozzfest 2004 second stage, nearly two years after the release of their third album, COMALIES. Similar to its American counterparts Evanescence, this European sextet features the dual vocals of Cristina Scabbia and her male counterpart, Andrea Ferro. Despite the liberal amounts of keyboards added to the mix, guitarists Cristiano Migliore and Marco Biazzi more than hold their own, pumping choppy riffs into the 1980s-sounding "Self Deception" and the simmering opener "Swamped." What makes Lacuna Coil so unique in an often musically conservative genre is the band's ability to dabble with ethereal dynamics. Such is the case with the soaring title cut and equally potent "The Ghost Woman and the Hunter," both of which blend neo-classical riffing, swirling synth runs and a perfect juxtaposition of light and heavy vocal phrasing. To commemorate the group's Ozzfest 2004 stint, COMALIES was re-released with a bonus disc featuring nine cuts that include a mix of live and studio acoustic performances, along with videos for "Heaven's a Lie" and "Swamped."

$13.85 Joyner explores the same dark-night-of-the-soul terrain as those writers, but brings his own idiosyncratic twist to the proceedings. His high, impassioned voice conveys an emotional urgency, while the string-laced arrangements frame his songs with a graceful beauty. The connection Joyner makes between pain and joy is expressed most plainly in "Born Of Longing," where he admits to having a dream, but adds "I might keep it hidden/So sweet is my burden/If someone tried to take it/They'd have ...

| | Santiago Entertainment For Man & Horse CD (2006)
Mother Earth
$10.15 The acclaim keeps pouring in for Santiago’s debut album Entertainment For Man And Horse, a solid 36-minute blast of idealistic rock ‘n roll on the band’s own record label, City Sound Inertia. Recorded in just two days, the album showcases a first-draft sense of immediacy, the kind of spontaneous, energy-fueled unhinging of bottled talent. Santiago’s are the songs providing snapshots of our accelerated lives: the independence vs. desperation of living alone, throwing cares out the passenger side window, falling in love with cocktail ennui, stalking jazz musicians in downtown Oakland, pleas to superstition, curses to old lovers, and the stillness that comes with each crossroad. Such a confident and action-packed debut can often cause sudden implosion, but Entertainment For Man And Horse is the catalyst that sparked what promises to be a brilliant career for this shockingly versatile California trio. “These are the ...
