5 stars I have waited for so long this album.... I enjoyed The Odyssey for his epic sounds and lyrics and can't wait for the new opera of Romeo and Co. Paradise Lost leave no time for breathing.... it's even more powerful and epic than previous SX releases, songwriting is really good, guitar soloing (sometimes Romeo is really boring with those tapping solos... in every damn song!!!) seem for the first time an extension of the lyrics... well what about the words.... They're SX, sir! Mr. Pinnella give us another time his best behind the keys (a keyboard or an orchestra? it's incredible), also Mr Lepond is fantastic (MY DOMINATION!!!!!) ... well what about Mr. Rullo??? one word: PERFECT. My favorite songs are The serpent's kiss ("trust in me coz I will set you FREEEE") and Revelation (a chorus you won't forget). songs 6 and 8 seem more power style... well I'm not a power fan... but SX roots are power isn't it? but this time is ... reinventing the power... do you know any other band who can play power as SX plays power???? PLEASE BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EXCELLENT

Ops... I forget to mention titletrack "paradise lost".... You know candlelight fantasia from TDWT??? well, forget it, paradise lost will soon be your favorite SX song! thank you RUSSELL!
