HIM, is a Finnish band and they've been around since 1991. They play what they refer to as "Love Metal" But really it just sounds like Emo Garbage to my ears. And that's evident when you hear the first song, "I love you (Prelude to Tragedy)"
BLAH, Tracks like "Join me in Death" and "Gone with the sin" Prove that you pretty much need a vagina to like this music. And well if you don't have a vagina and you're a fan of this album... Leave right now and go buy a female prostitute.. you need it trust me.
All joking aside. This is a fucking terrible album. And calling it "metal" is a fucking stretch by any means. I guess HIM would be like the grandfathers of the most recent wave of EMO Metal in America. And that should be a death penalty.
I fucking loathe this album and this band with every fiber of my being. And if it wasn't for the vote I never would have reviewed this piece of garbage.
And if you try to argue talent I'd like to direct you to the track "Right here in my arms" Notice the solo? Sounds like a epileptic recorded that while high on heroin and sitting in the middle of a Disco.
The singers voice? Not so much skill there either. He goes way to "deep" most times for the clean singing register.
All in all I despised this album and Trust me when I say I will never listen to this album again.
1/10
and the only reason I'm not giving it a 0/10 is the opening riff in "Razorblade Kiss" was semi "decent"
