Finally a Decent Compilation Album!
In the past I have been very wary and sceptical of compilation albums. They would generally have a few songs you like and then be filled with mediocre material just to fill the CD. However this time I took a chance and bought DarkSide of the 80's and I wasn't dissapointed.
CD1 has your darker more 'gothy' tracks and CD2 is dare I say it a little more bouncy. There were a few bands and tracks I hadn't heard before but these seem to fit in well with the overall feel of the album, giving it depth and not just full of fillers.
I'd reccomend this to any fans of The Sisters of Mercy, The Mission, Fields of the Nephilim etc.

Hey 80's goth cheese is pretty damn good ta very much. I would say better than anything todays lot are churning out but things are getting better on the rock scene of late.
I just bought Type O Negatives new album and its bloody good. I normally only like half of each of their albums but this one is actually good all the way through. The bonus CD kicks ass with their version of Black Sabbath.

Didn't Evanesence Start Out As A Xtian Band?
I Heard They Was, But They Were Taken Out Of A Xtian Chart Because A Band Member Was Blasphemous By Apparently Saying "F***ing Hell"
