One Step Forward, One Step Back
Here's my scorecard for Epica:

The Phantom Agony - Brilliant music, bad growling
Consign to Oblivion - Very good music, very little growling
Divine Conspiricy - Brilliant music, bad growling

I'm honestly not sure which formula I like better. The brilliant music is hard to pass up, but if they could just keep it and lose the growling I'd be in heaven.

"Amazing, Unusual, Sweet and Scary - All at Once"
Opera, black metal, classical, choral music and progressive rock are all melded together effectively in this epic masterpiece about the nature of religious thought and expression. To say the sound is larger than life would be an understatement. Epica knows what they're doing and they do it well. Simone Simons sings skillfully; her sweet voice contrasts with Mark Jensen's unnerving black and death metal shrieks and grunts. Plus, the power of the symphony orchestra combines with insane metal riffing. A study in contrasts, this is Beauty and the Beast music at it's best!

awesome CD
This is a great CD, an friend of mine in the Netherlands introduced me to them. They are a metal rock band and they are awesome. Some of the music is softer also. It came in great condition!
