Paul…..could not agree more! I hate the emo americanised route they have gone down. Recently went to a HIM gig and I was the oldest and most underdressed, most under made up and most unaccessorised by fingerless gloves and hair covered face I felt very sad

Did I miss something?! Has everyone gone crazy, this is the worst album HIM has ever made. Stupid emo-pop-Christian-rock-cheap-Disney-punk lameness fly’s throughout every track. I never knew the band would fall this far. Lyrically the album has moments, and i am all for HIM singing about new subject matter, but how about maintaining your long held stance of trying to be original… almost if not every track sounds that same! I was devastated to hear this album and honestly can’t see how previous fans can enjoy this, if they indeed loved their previous work/ethos (which are combined in this bands instance, by their own volition)

This album is an absolute ‘Heartkiller.’ I was actually clost to tears while listening to it the first time round because at how Ville sings so beautifully. His lyrics are always bloody awesome with a hell of a lot of truth and deep emotion within them. And, the boys? Well, they always blow me as well as every other HIM fan on this planet away with their shit-good guitar riffs, hardcore drumming, the lot!!! Well done to HIM.Yet another awesome album!!!

I’ve never been HIM fan really but I still can’t stop being impressed by this album’s consistency and gorgeous production. Ville and the boys have done absolutely fantastic job. If this was their last album, there wouldn’t be more beautiful way of saying goodbye after 15 succesful years.

I’m listening for the first time right now. There’s something for everybody on this – 80s hair metal, killer riffs and HIM’s trademark lovelorn lyrics.

I can’t wait to see them next Sunday in London. It’s going to be fucking awesome.

Agree with Steve515, definately more their sound.
I think their better with the short sweet digestable songs, than the long doom n’ gloom inspired ones on Venus Doom.

Couldn’t agree more, those two tracks at the end are fucking ace, Saint Valentine will be the Killer single if they should choose it as for final track (and i’ll have to be a smarty bastard and correct you on the name. But its a fucking great name)
‘The Foreboding Sense of Impending Happiness’ is my favorite track with its Nine Inch Needle of Heroin induced synth and break beat with infectious ballad like croons from the baritone Finn, i’d recommend anyone to check those two tunes out
it all good work HIM. Shamelessly cheesy, Riff heavy with G N’ R like solos and almost annoyingly catchy.

I Think Its Brilliant Alot Better Than Venus Doom
