well, as I am Anathema-fan since 1995, I would say I prefer the old-style songs. Maybe it's a false term, but anyway...
But I also love songs like: 'J'ai fait...', 'Everwake', 'Angelica', 'Shroud Of False', 'One Last Goodbye'...so not only the 'headbanging' ones. Of course I headbang as hell on concerts and esp. Anathema-gigs. Can't wait for another 'A Dying Wish...'-overdose-neckache, hehe.
