Advantages: Thoughtful/ Meaningful Lyrics, Excellent Tempo, Excellent Vocals. Disadvantages: Flawless. However not to everyones tastes.
LacunaCoil in my personal opinion, is the best Goth Metal/ Goth Rock/ Metal/ Rock band I have listened to. In truth, LacunaCoil got me started down a road of listening to various rock music. Including Within Temptation, Nightwish, Slipknot, Nile, Rammstein, Neaera and so on...
Just to mention, I am a massive fan of LacunaCoil (seen them backstage and at Download 2006).
I will attempt to be as Unbaised as possible.
/--- How did it start? ---\
Simply put. I heard a clipit of a song "Swamped from Comalies" on the Horror Channel in 2004, the advert was about Erotic Horror, kinda good song, when the lead singer (Cristina Scabbia) is hot. After tagging the song, I went and bought their albums.

Advantages: Great vocals, better than previous albums, top metal! Disadvantages: none
LacunaCoil have been about for quite a long time but have taken a while to make it big and break into the European & American markets. They've toured extensively and finally earned a lot of the attention they deserved with their last album "Comalies". Coming off the back of that success they now release "Karmacode" which i feel is probably as good or maybe better than Comalies.
LacunaCoil are an Italian gothic/metal/rock band with both a male and female vocalist, although Cristina Scabbia gets most of the airtime (which is no bad thing). Scabbia is very strong vocally, an amazing singer, and her voice adds so much to the music of the band. As there was on previous album "Unleashed Memories", there is a slightly arabic feel to a couple of the songs here which adds a nice touch to what is essentially a near-perfect album.
