Paris - Cure (The)

Advantages: excellent gothic rock, nice cover artwork
Disadvantages: not as catchy or upbeat as Blessed Be and Devils

...Hot on the heels of the rather splendid Blessed Be comes the follow-up, Paris Kills. The songs aren't as memorable and it's more difficult to pick out the strong tracks although Betty Blue (a hommage to the erotic French film and its star Beatrice Dalle) was a hit in their native Finland. On the whole, Paris Kills is a lot slower than Blessed Be whilst Jyrki still manages to retain his ball-dropping deep vocals and the overall mood of the CD is dark and gloomy. Don't turn Your Back on Fear is my favourite track - it's a catchy little dark rock ditty with a sing-a-long chorus. It's a good album for completists otherwise save your pennies for Blessed Be or Devils.... Read review

To be fair, the girl can sing - just. The album is more snap and crackle than it is pop, and it's definitely not rock, roll or rap; she does... Read review

...I bought this from HMV for £2.99, which is pretty good! But personally this is not a good price, it should be 1p. I'll tell you why later!
