V is definitely the CD that sounds the least like all the others so that isn't really a safe comparison (although V is still a killer disk). The heaviness and angrier vocals aren't new if you are familiar with The Odyssey, TDWoT, or even TiO and TDG. If you like that aspect, go out and buy Odyssey and TDWoT today!
I have heard all of SX's discs. I did not care much for any of them other than V and a few songs on Divine Wings of Tragedy. I realize V is an outlier in the SX discography. That's probably why I like it. It does not seem like people think Paradise Lost is an outlier though. I will leave that determination to those far more familiar with the band than I. All I know is that I find the songwriting on Paradise Lost to be more to my taste than the writing on the other albums, excepting V.
