Stabbing Westward - Darkest Days
Darkest Days is quite simply an accomplishment in industrial rock. It is dark, haunting, beautiful, a truly timeless release. Chris displays such passion behind his lyrics and vocal work, a real treat to listen to, while the music that accompanies it is tight and very well put together. Anyone who has ever suffered from a broken heart can relate to this album on many levels. Unparalleled in it's depth, this is a release I can listen to over and over again and never tire of hearing it. The power and emotion contained within this release belongs in any collection and makes the dark times easier to cope with, and shines a dim light on otherwise painful situations. It just makes you feel like someone else understands the sometimes harsh nature of life.

Stabbing Westward's high point! But then what happened?!?
While I like all of Stabbing Westward's work this 3rd release is probably my favorite, followed by their debut, Ungod, and then Whither, Blister, Burn and Peel. I also have to admit that I was greatly let down by their 4th and final release, which hardly seemed to be the same band. And, for all of the hype several years ago, I always felt that Evanescence was nothing more than Stabbing Westward with a Female singer. This year in Atlanta was also the best of the 3 times I caught them live, and took 2 friends who had never heard of them with me!

I like almost every track on the disc but my single favorite is probably "The Thing I Hate" (before various games darn near made me sick of it!!) and I also feel that those final 3; "Thing I Hate", "On Your Way Down" and "Waking Up Beside You" should ALWAYS be heard together. Other good tracks are "Haunting Me" and what was, by far, their biggest hit - "Save Yourself".

After the success of that track, and this CD as a whole, I thought Stabbing were on their way to greater things but, unfortunately, it was 3 long years until (what turned out to be) their 4th and last release and now all we have are these memories. Oh well, reunions seem to be happening all the time these days, though usually among older bands, so I can always hope!

I've been searching for this CD for a long time and couldn't find it
This CD is awesome, by far Stabbing Westward's best CD. I'm very happy to have it back in my collection.
