Advantages: Original, intense, powerful, melodic, epic Disadvantages: An acquired taste for those who don't like a challenge!
...It seems that very few people have heard of MyDyingBride, outside of rock & metal circles. They've never made it big in the way that some of their contemporaries have, which to me is more than a shame- it's criminal. They are one of the most original bands of their kind and every new album brings with it something new to be admired.
"Turn Loose the Swans" was released in 1993, at a time when "goth metal" and "doom metal" was emerging (if only a little) from obscurity. Bands such as Paradise Lost had already achived a small measure of success, and MyDyingBride, who also hail from West Yorkshire, brought out this, their first (vaguely) commercial effort.
"Turn Loose the Swans" is dark, epic, and mournful, an album that suddenly turns from peace and tranquillity to visceral, shuddering noise- great slab-like riffs of enormously heavy...

Enter the Ghost Lake Review ofLight At The End Of The World, The - MyDyingBrideby

Advantages: Sorrowful and dark - a return to form. Disadvantages: A bit extreme for some people.

All in all, I can really recommend this album to any doom metal fan, or indeed any fan of sorrowful, introspective music in general....

The Philadelphia Experiment could be described as an ablum made by musician from Philly doing "cover" of track recorded in Philly or related to Philly.
Not your basic cover album done by some faceless obscur band , those guys knows their stuff and will take you on a musical trip. Anything goes on this . Sun-Ra, Bill Wither( oops a secret track maybe...), Marvin Gaye, Elton John.
That album has the feel and the sound of a bunch of old friend deciding to have a jam to the glory of their city.
I loved that album, way more than the remixed one done by King Britt, something worth buying if you have any interest in jazz, funk or just like great music ....
