Advantages: Creates an atmosphere felt with very few albums Disadvantages: You have to be in the right mood to listen to it
...Already being the proud owner of five different cradle of filth albums, when my dad decided he disliked "Damnation and a day" i offered him a few quid for it. What i received was my favourite Cradle album.
The album creates a huge atmosphere and in depth world. This is mainly done because it features the 40-piece Budapest Film Orchestra and 32-piece Budapest Film Choir.
The concept
The album is in four parts. The first two parts tell of the fall of lucifer and the third and fourth parts are about satan's manipulation on Earth. So overall the album is based on the old testament.
The lyrics
The lyrics are some of my favourites. "Angels in raiments, As pure as coal, Taking their payments, In tortured mortal souls" The lyrics arn't for the faint hearted and arn't too popular with Christians but they are intelligent...

Advantages: Tenacious D's excellent style, very funny and great fun to listen to. Disadvantages: It's too closely linked to the film, perhaps too much swearing.
...to Hollywood, meets KG and after some faffing around they form Tenacious D. They then embark on a quest to find the "Pick of Destiny" which is made from the Devil's tooth. With it so far? They then have a "rock off" with the Devil, who loses, and everyone's happy.
The music reflects the events in the story, but the album can be listened to with no knowledge of the film. In fact I knew the words to most of the songs before I even saw the film. This edition of the album is a "DeluxeEdition", the contents of which I will go through at the end. For now, let me go through the songs for you. Normally I put an except of the lyrics in, but the language is so rude (read: cool) that it'd just contain lots of asterisks, so I won't be doing that.

Kickapoo is the name of the town JB runs away from, in case you were...
