Brazil official lisence version of this classic! To the doom faithful, My Dying Bride represents a towering monument to human misery. Despair reigns supreme throughout this album, gripping the listener with waves of depression and gloom. Or, if you're not really a doom fanatic, it just sort of rumbles by without much of an impression. As the Flower Withers is not an album that compromises anything for the sake of appealing to anyone besides those who proudly stamp "I Need Prozak" on their hands. The oppressive wall of crushing guitars, occasional symphonic washes and of course Aaron's tortured death sounds do not make for a very pleasant listen. As an outsider, I can recognize the inherent appeal to fans of the genre but at the same time I cannot find my way through this gauze of despair without wanting to pop something happy, like Emperor, into the CD player. On the several listens I've given this CD, it has still yet to make an attempt to draw me in. You can read that as indifference on my part towards doom metal or the lack of songwriting punch on their part to truly soak the listener in waves of sadness.

1. Silent dance
2. Sear me
3. The forever people
