Lee, Gaz and company steer Cathedral further away from the Forest of Equilibrium sound on this third album, with more of a stoner-rock feel. This refinement of the sound of the previous album probably pissed a few people off, but The Carnival Bizarre might be my favorite Cathedral album. The production is clear and punchy, and that's rarely a bad thing in my book, though it does lack some of the low-end rumble from The Ethereal Mirror. The first three tracks are all groovy stoner-rock bangers before the swelling horror-movie synths and (of course) the tolling bell herald "Night Of The Seagulls," the first doom epic of the set. Here is where we get our allotment of gothic, crumbling-mansion-in-the-woods metal, along with the aptly named "Palce Of Fallen Majesty." This is just a terrific, well-rounded album from a band who rarely disappointed.
