LIVE

Excelent, it has the very best of the firts albums; Angst, Einsamkeit, Satura, Inferno, Stille. Live is an incredible disc, Because there is nothing better than a Live Version of a Lacrimosa Song. Awesome versions of Seele in not and Alles lüge. And excelents pieces of the album Stille, like Stolzes Herz, Siehst Du mich im Lich, Not Every Pain Hurts and a perfect performance of Make it End that leaves you frozen. There are also classical songs of the band like Copycat, Satura y Schakal, that makes this album a piece of art that no one who likes Lacrimosa should miss.

Sorry to be a party popper....... but

I became a big fan of Lacrimosa around the release of Inferno. I still think that album is a great symphonic/goth metal album. I also bought the rest of their pre- Inferno albums. I loved them. However; that was 15 years ago.

I have been listening to the 126 minutes of this live album and I can barely keep myself awake. With the exception of Schakal and Alles Luge, the material on this live album is pretty dull. It is over pretentious pseudo-prog. It is dull Krautrock. It is pretty boring and uninteresting. The instruments is bass, drums, massive amount of synths, some guitars and an annoying male vocal. On top of that; there are a female choir on some songs. I am not amused. The lack of variations, any major variations, is pretty painful. Not to mention pretty effective against insomnia. I can use this live album against any insomnia.

The two above mentioned tracks are the only saving grace on this album. The rest is pretty bad.
