Anathema

Eternity (1996) 

Clean (and dramatic) vocals the entire album. Still borrows elements from Doom Metal, such as the atmosphere and the slower pace, however the Death as in Death/Doom is gone. The song Hope shows the band is looking forward trying different music, for this song is quite alt-rock oriented for my taste.

Overall, it's an album full of beautiful melodies that can make your mind wander away.

Stand out tracks: Angelica (cool main riff), Eternity (Pt. 1),
Low points: Eternity (Pt.2) serves the purpose of composing the albums atmosphere though clearly a filler.

Alternative 4 (1998)

The last album with the old logo, but the music here is no longer the same. If you're looking for Metal, look elsewhere. Doom Metal is almost gone entirely (let alone the Death portion of Death/Doom), with a few and far between short moments, and some sort of Alt Rock with a melancholy feel to it came in. Lost Control is a track that keeps a little of that Doom Metal feel. Your Possible Pasts, although a track not originally featured on the album, sounds like a lost track of Pink Floyd to me. A bad album? Not really.

Judgement (1999)

If you're looking for any trace of metal, you're in the wrong place. If you listen to their discography, album by album, it's so very easy to notice how they have removed traces of their first records and at this point, it's easy to see they're going towards the complete elimination of any form of Heavy Metal in their music.

It's repetitive to say, but there is no other way to put it: this record is just the progression of the previous one. With even less metal, and more alternative rock, with a few hints of progressive rock and doses of melancholy.
