Commented female singer Cristina Scabbia: "'Shallow Life' is a natural metamorphosis from within the band; we explored different musical territories while maintaining our own style. A mix of old and new, fast and slow... light and dark. The album production is incredibly powerful and has a beautiful purity to it. Hopefully listeners will feel the same sort of connection that we have to these songs. It would be great to think that we have produced songs that will make anybody either think, smile or cry. 'Shallow Life' has forced us to challenge ourselves. It represents the way we see ourselves in the days we live in through truth, love and lies."

Added male singer Andrea Ferro: "'Shallow Life' is just a mirror of what you see out there, it's something you should first see inside of you. It's a new cycle of songs and it's more clearly ourselves."

I don't know about this change in style... it feels like they're starting to go more nu-metalish in an attempt to gain more listeners.

Had a listen to a song on their MySpace profile not too long ago. It's a little different, but still alright.

Survive, I Like It and Spellbound can be found here:

Honestly, I don't really see that big of a difference to previous albums. Sure, it's a bit different, but only about as much as each album is.

Lacuna Coil is and always will be a great band. I agree with Arch, after listening to some of the songs on their Myspace I honestly can't say the new songs sound that different from their previous albums.

Lacuna coil is the shit...I'll buy this album.

First heard Lacuna Coil (also Bleeding Through) at a Bullet For My Valentine gig, and I'll simply say that I listen to Bleeding Through a lot, and have two albums; and that I have never since listened to a Lacuna Coil song.

I somehow doubt I will listen to the new stuff either.

Also, lol at "Andrea Ferro: "'Shallow Life' is just a mirror of what you see out there, it's something you should first see inside of you. It's a new cycle of songs and it's more clearly ourselves.""

Go back to uni and take a philosiphy degree if you want to talk like that.

Hate it when musicians (vocalists and guitarists, I'm looking at you) get existential about their music.
