Why?

Makes sense, that pretty much what I got out of it.

I'm so drunk i spent about 10 minutes trying to find this thread. As for what I want to contribute to this thread, shit, I don't know.

37. Cradle Of Filth - Cruelty and the Beast (1998) Yes, yes, I know Cradle of Filth are a much maligned band. Rightly so their catalogue is for the most part sub par. It is further testament to this album then that it well deserves recognition as among the finer Black Metal albums to be released. Dani's vocal style is often ludicrous. Detracting significantly from the music and annoying the listener after very little exposure to those high pitched shrieks. Here he is more restrained, and the album is better for it. Throw in some of the catchiest, and heaviest, melodies you'll find in black metal, well written and superbly executed symphonic elements, and the over-arching theme recounting Elizabeth Bathory's infamous life - it's a recipe for success. Greater the tragedy then that CoF would never again reach these heights and are now the BM equivalent of motley crue.
