=='''Lacuna Coil: Shallow Life'''==
I recently aquired a load of CDs off my cousin who is moving house and whilst going through them I came across this one...still in its wrapper, I had heard of Lacuna Coil before but never taken any notice, so I slipped the disc into my laptop to listen to it and I thought It was amazing.

As I mentioned, Ferro seems to be here a lot, and I'll admit it, it does dampen the song ... ...previous track. 5/10 12. Shallow Life. I still can't like this one, no matter how much I want to. Perhaps it'll grow but it reminded me too much of 'The Pain'. I hope they avoid these types of song in the future. 5/10 Overall, there are some cracking tracks worth the price.
