An ideal starting point for new fans,
Reflections: The Best of Paradise Lost offers a concise overview of the band's career; its 17 tracks, including a handful of live cuts and remixes, cover the full evolution of their sound, tracking back to the primitive death metal of their early work through to the gothic, even lush material of albums like
Shades of God and finally culminating in the industrial overtones of latter-day tracks like "One Second." ~ Jason Ankeny
