About
Lacuna Coil’s breakthrough third album is entirely striking in the certainty of its songwriting. The Milan quintet’s 1999 debut <i>In a Reverie</i> and 2001’s <i>Unleashed Memories</i> remain excellent, but it wasn’t until <i>Comalies</i> that the sweet/savage interchange between vocalists Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro was fully unleashed. It not only enlivened the album, but laid a foundational formula for every album since. And its testament to the strength of these compositions that the technique never devolved into definitive gimmick. The light and shade of <i>Comalies</i> leant against the strong bones of convention: Big intro. Soft verse. Soaring choru. Soft verse. Brooding bridge. Soaring chorus on steroids to see you out. The band were already subverting the limits of the formula they’d finally embraced, achingly adorning it with nuance (“Tight Rope”), overbearing expressive need (“Daylight Dancer”) and two sides of a vocal coin that has yet to be equaled in value by the successors who found their inspiration here. .
