Editorial Review:
Damnation and a Day is the first album from Cradle of Filth that matches the group's monolithic musical ambitions. And it's no disappointment as they use their new-found major label muscle to excessive effect. Accompanied by a 40-piece orchestra and 32-voice choir from Budapest, they've raised their game, coming on like Venom as produced by Danny Elfman. Over 77 thrill-packed minutes in length, Damnation & A Day combines Cradle of Filth's trademark pulverizing riffs, shrieking raps, and monstrous chants with grandiose harmony vocals and portentous voiceovers. Like Black Sabbath, they regularly break their fierce assault with short instrumental interludes ("The Mordant Liquor of Tears"), then rev up again with ever more manic intensity. It seems their intention is to deliver a black-metal alternative to Carmina Burana, and it's to their credit that they come close, producing a series of scorching epics that would fit perfectly as the soundtrack to the extraordinary battle sequences in Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. --Dominic Wills

Damnation and a Day Reviews:
damnation and a day ( Japanese import version )
2003-04-24 - I first of all have to say I have been a huge cradle of filth fan for many years. The album damnation and a day is great my rating on this does not reflect the music on the album but it is a direct response to the import Japanese version with quote unquote extra tracks. if I could id give the music on the album 4 stars, but as for this version of the cd it gets one star. there is nothing special about this album the extra track mentioned is the musical piece " end of days " this track is available on the 15 dollar version of the album. the only things you can expect to be extra with this version are
1. A extra book of the lyrics written in Japanese
2. The cardboard spine that will come covering the side of the cd
3. 2 stickers that are on the cd packaging, one of the stickers say made in Japan, and the other has some Japanese writing with the words Party-Dude written in English in the middle of all the Japanese

for all you people who are considering buying this version may I suggest instead buying the regular American release version

the cd is amazing....
2003-03-09 - cradle of filth have found there niche here...this cd from start to finish is an epic nightmare laced with hair raising orchestration and bone chilling choral arrangements..if you in anyway like this band at all you will love this album..

Great CD for the Cradle of Filth Fan
2003-03-06 - Cradle of Filth have outdone themselves with this cd. This CD sounds alittle different from their last few releases. I think it sounds like a mix between Dusk and her Embrace and Midian. The music at times is simple and very fast, Almost the entire time you are also given a orchestra and keyboard in the background. This CD has a much more open fresh sound for CoF. There are 17 tracks, 5 being instrumentals.
