I LOVE SCREAMWORKS!!

[SEXYBACKSWEET666]

was it really this guy who influence HIM to change or was it ville who wanted to change the music?

I like didn't like the album at first but kept listening to it and got use to it. If this what they want there music to sound like so be it.

Long Live HIM

[BassVirtual]

Producers have had a massive role in shaping HIM's sound, I'd say.

Dear Matt:

From Mexico, I had to say... thank you for this piece of shit on my favorite band.

The album is a fucking bull shit!

HIM!! ALL OF OUR FANS WANNA A RAZORBLADE ROMANCE OR GREATEST LOVE SONGS 666 AGAIN!!

[zablujnc]

You know... they actualy made Razorblade Romance and Greatest Love Songs vol. 666, so you can just shut up and go listen to the two if you don't like this album. Or you can appreciate all the hard work that was put into it. :) Have a good one.

[XZG]

no, i have te obligation to say this, beacause i know him from the first albums!!

ok i appreciate the hard work... but... is the only thing??? come on, only the cocksuckers fans say... wow is fantastic, amazing work... but isn't is...

a real fan say this!

[zablujnc]

It's true, you may say what you would like better, but calling the album a "fucking bull shit" is the negation of the statement wich you made, telling you appreciate the hard work.

It's none of my bussyness to tell people what to like, neither something i'd like to do. By all means, hate the album, but the album being only a medium from them (the artist) to you (the listener), how can you call yourself their fan then?..... Every album is the esence of the artist. If you hate it, you hate them.

[XZG]

no men, one thing is say... ok is a shit but... ok, i hate the album

and another say, i hate the album, and i hate him and all the new stuff

and if the album is the esence from this new him... i had to say that i don't like ... BUT STILL KEEP MY FAVORITE BAND

are things so different

[zablujnc]

im not stupid, i know what you mean....

it's just annoying to hear people talk bad about someone's hard work, that's all...

Hard work deserves apreciation, if not apreciation, at least the discretion.

I love the album, I don't consider myself a cocklover... but everyone has their standards, right?...

Anyway.... I have to leave now... good listening!

[MonicaBailey]

@zablujnc Nah....if a fan doesn't like an album it doesn't mean they hate the band. It just means they don't like the album. I hate Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights and I hate Join Me, and almost the entire Dark Light album.....but I don't hate the band....

[MonicaBailey]

@XZG Well I mean if somebody likes it and you don't, why are they wrong? As a whole this is my favorite album.....it's not boring.....I dislike Heartkiller though...I think the video ruined it for me :(

[zablujnc]

I mean't what I said philosophicaly.... If the artwork (song) is the reflection of the artist at that moment of time when it was made... then, how you judge the music should be the same as how you judge the artist (at the time the music in question was made)... Im not saying one has to love everything given to them, it's just about giving the artist some respect for their hard work... not telling the album is shit. Don't you agree? Well i won't put words intio your mouth so I'll just shut up now

[MonicaBailey]

@zablujnc I agree....especially this time around. Ville seems very optimistic and proud of this album.

I think it's great, one negative aspect I noticed today, all the songs very similar....

[zablujnc]

Well... one thing I always liked about him is that I could as one relate to EVERY single song they ever made... old or new, they never stop to amaze me with that....

Well yes I had that impression to at first, but then I listened to the album some 30 times and the diferences between songs become quite apparent. That's another thing I like about HIM, the more you listen to them, the better it gets.

[IdolizingVilleValo]

@zablujnc you and me think exactly the same about HIM :P

[BassVirtual]

No, NOT all the fans want Razorblade Romance again. NO fucking way. I want more like Venus Doom and Dark Light, actually... their early-to-mid period mainstream shit is their worst stuff! It's so fucking simplistic! I still love a lot of it though, as well as the new album (some songs aren't so good though).

[magikman38]

@BassVirtual what are you talking about dude. Venus Doom and Dark Light went two complete different directions. Dark Light was their mainstream attempt and Venus Doom is back to their rugged brilliant music. Their early and mid albums were the non mainstream albums actually...

[BassVirtual]

@magikman38 I didn't find Dark Light to sound very "mainstream"... it wasn't poppy in the slightest - compare Deep Shadows. Anyway, it was just my opinion, it's not going to change just because I now know the "band's intentions".

[Entity13Productions]

i hate how he says ROCK like he knows soo much about it, he produces pop music for fucks sake. and you dont know shit about 80's good rock music.

[BassVirtual]

The Cult are a rock band.

[RinHorse]

i love him for loving this band they are my favorite band and thats it!
