Razorblade Romance [Bonus Tracks] by H.I.M. (Goth Rock)

Pros: An outstanding collection of songs, it will leave you wanting more …
Cons: Some may find the lyrics a tad dark and slightly morose …

Any man that can wear more make up than me, kiss hot guys without getting called a plethora of names, can sing his balls off and look hot as hell while doing it gets major points in my book. [This excludes Boy George, someone I never considered hot ...

Pros: Generally good musicianship, a few really great songs
Cons: Excess of slow ballads and frightening "Wicked Game" cover

I can't speak for others outside of the Reno/Sacramento parts of the universe, but I seem to have been pummelled recently by window displays at local mall Hot Topics prominently referencing some band/artist that goes by the name of HIM, and whose logo is ...

Pros: See review.
Cons: See review.

***note that this is a review of the north american release, meaning that the tracklisting is a little different then the regular release** HIM is: Ville Valo - vocals Linde - guitars Mige - bass Gas - drums Burton - keyboards A ...

Pros: Loud rock songs, great Wicked Game cover, good 80's type sound.
Cons: Too many ballads, gayish album cover.

Sorry about my absence. My hard drive broke, so I've been without a computer for about a month now:(. We've finally gotten it fixed, so I can review some more stuff:) Anyway on to the review. This was the first HIM album I ever bought. I found out ...

Pros: A wonderful twist to the cliche love-death sound.
Cons: It's way too addictive. @.@;

A wonderful 2nd release. In my opinion, it was better than their first, Greatest Love Songs Vol. 666. It has the perfect combination of love, death, anguish, and passion. HIM is a band you can't really place. You can hear the Scandonavian ...

Pros: It has some of their best songs.
Cons: This one is their most commercial.

Razorblade Romance is by far my favorite HIM cd. They have such great songs on this one. LIke one of their best lyrically wise and overall Gone With Sin and a great cover of Wicked Game. If you're a fan of HIM you should be sure to pick this gem up if you have a chance.

Pros: Well written lyrics, long, redone wicked game and sweet six six six
Cons: not enough rock songs

This is the finnish bands sophomore album, and one of their best at that. this album takes many ques from it's first album in the essence that the lyrics are well written and there's not too many actual metal songs. However, I probably have to say that I like the metal songs better. If you no prefence between the style this CD will be your favorite out of the four, with some of their best songs. If you like their metal more, I would suggest Love metal.

Pros: Flawless sound, sensational lyrics
Cons: None

Amazing! Lead singer Ville Valo really speaks from the heart in emotional and realistic love songs. By far my favorite band of all time.

Songs like Poison Girl and Right Here In My Arms really blow you away with the tune, lyrics, and Ville Valo's amazing, sensual voice.

HIM consists of:
Ville Valo - Vocals
Gas - Drums
Midge - Bass
Linde - Guitar
Burton - Keyboards

HIM is a Finnish originated band, and this title, Razorblade Romance, is the American version. Some of the songs are different than the ones on the actual Finnish version, so if you really want to get into them you might be better off buying imported CDs.
