I've always Loved Anathema-seen them close to 30 times Live now and A Fine Day To Exit is a superb album but i just want to take a look back at 1993 and the release of Serenades.From the crunching riffs of Lovelorn Rhapsody started an amazing album.Some may not like Darrens gruff vocals but it suited that mateiral perfectly and I loved his lyrics.Sleepless,Under A Veil of Black Lace and my personal favourite Sleep In Sanity-featuring just 3 lines of vocals but just perfect-the way Vinnie and Danny play the Guitar almost like backing vocalists-the melody lines just flow through the song like a babbling stream...............Who else loves this album?

disco my arse!
You know what?
It is the first Anathema album I've ever heard back in 1996 and I didn't like it at all.
Then I've discovered Eternity and I liked it so much I thought,
"Hell, if Eternity is so melodic and Serenades so rough, how do the transitional albums sound like?!"
Sound great, as I discovered eventually.
And Serenades? Man, I liked it 6 moths ago.
It is the longest period for me EVER to get into some album.
And it's great, I can say now.

I've been trying. Is istill being manufactured, cos wherever I try it I can't find it Peaceville rereleased it last year-in fact i think they rereleased all Anathema albums so you should be able to get it.

Yeah, Serenades are great, and I love Darren's vox on 'em! My favorite songs are "Sleepless", "Where shadows dance" and "especially "Sweet tears". The album is brilliant!

Yeah Darens vocals are good on the albums I have Very different from Vincent's early vocals, far harsher I think
