    On its own merits, rather a hoot. [Jan 2011, p.83]

    Darkly, Darkly, Venus Aversa is a masterpiece of extreme metal creation. With some of the best compositions of its career, the highest-quality lyrics in its history, and none of the misfires it has suffered in the past, Cradle of Filth has delivered one of the best extreme metal releases in recent memory.

    The concentration on writing and arrangement is disciplined, with a strong set of dynamics, a terrific mix, and great production, and of course the lavish package lives up to the band's reputation as well.
