WEATHER SYSTEMS

I really thought Anathema's last album "We're Here Because We're Here" was their best to date. Pretty impressive for a band that's been around for over 20 years and I usually think that once a band has reached that height, for me, they don't get any better. Well well, I think this may be BETTER!

It's early days, but the lushness of the last album is there in bucket loads and so are the melodies and they're sounding more impassioned thank ever with songs that really build to a climax, just listen to the opening track - one of their best.

After all these years, the song writing component of Anathema is firing strong! They still retain the darkness of their roots, but now it's married with a beautiful orchestral melancholy. A masterpiece, again.
