MY DYING BRIDE - Tired Of Tears 

Paradise Lost began to right the ship with their 2005 self-titled release, ending years of increasingly listless experimentation by attempting a sequel of sorts to the best-selling Draconian Times.  “Close Your Eyes” sounded like it could’ve been written a decade earlier, though it would’ve fit more naturally on One Second: Gregor Mackintosh’s main riff was more forceful than anything he’d written in the past decade, but Nick Holmes was still caught between growling and his more recent penchant for crooning.  Still, ex-Blaze drummer Jeff Singer gave the song momentum, and both Holmes and Mackintosh sounded more purposeful than they had in years.  And even if Paradise Lost was still in a holding pattern- they didn’t seem totally sure of themselves until they eventually retreated back to their original doomdeath style around 2012- “Close Your Eyes” was a definite step in the right direction.

Mackie and Jeff infinitely shuffling pages. I’m sure this is the appropriate reaction gif for SOMETHING.

Unfabulous

I love Hilary and Jeff. So delightfully snippy and vitriolic about every little thing, and yet they’re completely solid and supportive of each other when it counts.
