I think most of the people who dislike "Host" aren't into or even open to electronic music. I felt this album was great & really show that PL aren't just a metal band but are quite capable of transcending the genre & giving it a much needed kick in the teeth.
I remember when I bought this album - exactly 13 years ago !! I thought - wtf ? But later on I realised that Paradise Lost brought something new to the table. I love One Second to bits !! They have prooved they can go with progress and they have also prooved - it was a great job. Don't get me wrong - Im talking about One Second.
I love every album Paradise Lost has done and i personally rate this album in the top 5 at least. Ok, it isn't a metal album but it is quite dark and Greg's guitar and Nick's vocals still sound like Paradise Lost as they are both unique.
I really like PL primarily for their metal albums, but you know what? Host is easily one of their best albums, period. It's arguably the most intersting in terms of musical direction, and it has a sense of melancholy that's more focused than most of their albums. PL really can play any style they want and be good at it, and Host is proof of that. Hell, I like it a little more than In Requiem, even.
PL has proved over time that they can play virtually ANYTHING. This song is just the proof to this statement. They are one of the most talented musicians out there independently of labels. Labels to a piece of art like music are put by people under 15 years old. Enough said...
The album Host is brilliant. forget metal for just a little bit and enjoy it. It's interesting on many levels. PL always were a 'songs' band. This was always going to happen, and then the circle comes round again - stronger.
One of the best.All their albums are fucking awsome.Hail to dark tranquility,lacuna coil , disturbed,moonspell,in flames, soilwork,arcana and katatonia
i remember these days when the album release what a panic all around about paradise lost new style sound!!!!
this album has hes own history ,i think that paradise lost make a big mistake as they said these days that this album sounds so electronic cause of a producer mistake..i think PL had nothing to prove about tο anyone
PL has proved time and time again just like the Beastie Boys that as soon as they put their minds to anything they can be the best in their genre and pave the way for others.
I love them for that alone... and for their awesome tunes!
Adaptation means survival. But the great thing in all this in music is when you learn to value the old songs you like , and regard them from a different perspective, whileas enjoying from the present.
@mrgmakin You are absolutely right mate. The mnost important in music is progress. Remember Radiohead? when they released Kid A album people got a shock. But it proved as a good step. Forward, obviously
@mrgmakin This purely depends on someone's point of view. To some the kind of change PL went though was not comprehensible, to other's a sign of musical evolution. One thing is sure - if you take a song from the album from 1990, then a song the album from 1999, then a song from the album from 2009, you wouldn't tell that it's the same band - the music was so different. But it was gripping at all of those times.
@mrgmakin I found their latest stuff to be quite samey, yet still awesome. I think if I listened to it more, the general sound of it would define itself a lot more.
i like this album because its different of all the others but the paradise lost inspiration for the DM album ultra make them to try play like them so they loose at the end no one can play like depeche mode,,so when i go back to the past albums like icon draconian and one seconds ofcourse i forgive them :)
The whole "Host" album was just an experiment. Some songs were very good ("behind the grey"!!), others were a bit lame.
At this time they were bored by Metal and wanted to make Electro Pop/rock. You can think what you want about the album, but it was honest and a very consequent decision. At this time they were on the highest point of their popularity and nobody would have expected such a radical change.
they changed a lot. but i personaly like the new stuff as much as the old Paradise Lost (but i do like the old stuff a bit more!). this is not bad, just different.
Hmm wierd but this was choice of band to play some eletronic stuff. I prefer his first album to Draconian Times and from Belive in nothing to now. Glad to see they back to metal road again. And Thronsohm I'm not 16. 28 now is coming and still loved in metal music.
Host is a great record.people is rude,really don't understand when a band want to have an evolution into music. Now these guys are back with a new metal direction with century media.but its just a ghost in the wind! That label will destroy everything like with samael..and others.Anyone remind great years from "clouds" to "wildhoney" with tiamat...and anyone knows the story of paradise lost.. These guys invented the "gothic" and i think most need to buy a cement mixer to listen too....
i dont really like so much is lost...... i prefer permanent solution and its too late..............long live lost.....welcome back in the metal word guysssss in requiemmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ruleeesssssss
or you should listen to other bands not to the lost boys cause simply they belong to metal......16? hey im not 16 either. so i shouldnt listen to metal ?....thats kinda offensive dude.........so give the metal fans a break...

Hardcore fans may not appreciate the changing sounds but I think if you don't change you get stale! Peace
