The funny thing is they still being Lacuna Coil, but a concept album led them to a whole different direction. This album is not mainstream, but unique. Every track says how a "Shallow Life" does not makes ourselves complete, but being just who each one of us really are. Congrats Coil! This album is spetacular!
I was so dissapointed !!! in them when i heard the album.
it is so borring. I thought they'd go for the metal version rather than the mainstreem one- which i hate.
their first albums were all so good! especially "unlished memories" which was amazing.
when i heard unlished memories for the first time it was all noisy and too heavy for me but ive grown to love it so much. and when i heard "shallow life" all the songs were the same! i can only hope they took the hint. next time around.
So anyone else that complains shut the hell up. You are either going to go buy the album or not and all your bitching on the planet isn't goig to change a damn thing or gip them out of any cash flow.
Lol..it's MUCH different from what they used to do, but i agree from what I heard so far [I haven't heard all the songs yet] it is pretty good. I really can't see LC changing for the worse, or so I would hope.
So all you who are saying its to poppy, you are saying you do not listen to a diverse range in music. cant you enjoy the art thats being created without putting a label on it. honestly you people are disgusting, they are evolving as musicians, maybe they want a more lighter sound, sue them their choice, their music.
very beautiful melodic songs thnx to lead singers Cristina's great voice n Andrea and great rockin' songs! really like shallow life n love its new style even if different from the others
Lacuna Coil made a new time its own work n i'm sure real fans are able n more to love this!
Ahhh...i'm pretty sure LC's 'real fans' would prefer their older style better. And dont forget to thank the rest of the band if you want to give props to their songs....people don't give Maus, Pizza and Cristiano enough respect -.-;
I am so tired of seeing they sold out as a complaint. Music people is a business, and just like any other it is about keeping it going no matter what. If you ask me changing your style isn't selling out. I have yet to see Christina dolls, or Andrea bran flakes yet so whats the big deal?
Naming a musical tour "The Hottest Chicks in Metal Tour" is beyond selling out. It's disrespectful to women in the business and it only made the band seem like a joke to everyone in the metal community.
This band is such a disappointment. They were on their way to Heavy Metal royalty until they strayed to the mainstream American market.
Well quite frankly and this goes to anyone who reads this. Music is a business and business is about making money. Those of you who hold onto this fluffy idea that its all about the fans are complete morons. The goal of most musicians that reach the level they have are in it for bread and butter just like any of the rest of us at our jobs.
Of course making music is a business. They need to make money in order to keep touring and making music. But all that sex appeal used for promotion coupled with very commercialized albums has done nothing but give the band a bad name and alienate the very fans that made them successful in the first place, the metal fans. Why do you think the band arent getting as much promotion and hype anymore? They've pretty much killed off their fanbase. Bad business move.
People are still watching there vids and buying their albums so I doubt they are hurting. And as for before don't give me that feminist hippocracy bullshit. Say thats what the woman wants to do? Say that she is proud to do such a thing and happy with her life as that is. Your fem philosophy I thought was that the woman has the right and power to do anything. But when its sokmething that you dont like say they want to be strippers or housewives what then? oh not you turn shit and go batshit nuts.
lmao since when am I feminist? the fact that Cristina is proud of her looks and her feminity when so women in metal and rock music aren't is pretty cool. But they over did it by naming a MUSICAL tour based on JUST her looks. Like I said, it was bad business by giving themselves a bad name. I'm done. In the end, i'm still a fan of the band since they are cool people and give it their all live. Just hoping for REAL music on their next album. Its the only way theyll win their fans back.
@orga210 I think it's kind of the point of the album; they're immitating all the fake musicians and celebrities that are around at the moment, but the music is still really good, even though it's a more mainstream style.
This is rly fuckin awful i mean when i heard lacuna had released a new album called "shallow life" i got quite excited as i thought they might have dumped this contrived, shit mainstream sound and gone back to their old "shallow end" ep style tht was wishful thinkin =( shame

I dont think I can call myself coilerfan anymore since this album was such a HUGE disappointment.. I think the band has fallen from grace with this album.
It sucks really bad that such a talented band has sold out. They know they can do better. They know they can make music with meaning and creativity. But instead they chose to make generic teenage pop/rock for the masses. In their old interviews they would always say that they were first a metal band.. and now they've completely dissociated and alienated themselves from the metal scene. RIP the old Lacuna that Rob Halford, Ozzy, Dave Mustain, and the rest of the metal community once loved..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I totally agree with you. Its too poppy for me. Some of the songs have a hint of how they used to be but its so different that their style is faded by the pop/rock beats. Probably that's why they called it "Shallow Life." LOL! The album itself is so musically shallow for those who want to listen to ear candy all day. Their lyrics are so weak I don't even wan to listen to them anymore I just want to listen to Maus, Cristiano, and Marco play their music.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You know what would bring lacuna coil up is Cristina Scabbia sing Spellbound with Matt Shadows (Vocals - Avenged Sevenfold). They both have great voices, they both would sound so good together, and Matt Shadows and his band are very big. They came on TRL and their concerts are HUGE!! They also have a bunch of fans.
Admittedly I've never been a huge LC fan but I think they have made some very decent albums and Cristina does have a very beautiful/powerful voice. But there has to be something more than her voice to carry an entire album - no matter how good she is. There isn't. There is nothing progressive about it, nothing new. Just a bit more mainstream (in lack of a better term) which might be a sideeffect to the "American inspiration" that they have been talking so much about ever since Karmacode?
the only coil album i didn't bother to buy. cristina's voice is absolutely beautiful and the rest of their music is amazing. the songs on this album just are just.... disappointing.
Blue, why waste your time commenting on video streams you dont like, maybe you are jealous, or just a lous, this group is what they want it to be, it starts and ends with her. So watch videos you like and we all will do the same, there are plenty that someone doesnt like, but then you just switch to one you do like. Very simple
Indeed a dumb ass who says music can't be discussed over.. Are you a communiste or what? There's freedom of speech overhere ! Again : great musicians, but lose the atitude female vocalist with hiphop or R&B-voice. That's my opinion, and I'm free to say so !
yup didnt care for this album, its still good but not their best
at least she got hotter!
