One of the Strongest Debuts of any Band September 17, 2002
9 out of 10 found this review helpful

Ok, this review is going to be long as there is much to to talk about when it comes to this band. First off, to shup up all you people who know little to nothing about music or the industry that surrounds it, calling HIM a goth or satanic band is like calling Black Sabbath or The Smahing Pumpkins goth. HIM is simply a great rock band, albiet with some definate gothic influences. This band, unlike most bands today, has a style all its own, and if you want to call them goth, satanic, or downright blasphemous go ahead, but youde be idiotic in doing so. All of HIMs' albums are crafted with skill and display something typical rock bands of today are devoid of, vision and talent. Ville Valo and company know what theyre doing, which is fairly evident if you look at theyre musical progression. Theyve combined metal, straight forward rock, and pop influences to become a well oiled machine, capable of doing more in 3 albums than most artists do in 10. Greatest Lovesongs Vol. 666 stands as one of the strongest debut albums in recent memory. From the album opener "Your Sweet 666" to the beautifuly dark "For You", this album could infact be a collection of some of the greatest lovesongs ever written. HIM uses terms like "death" and "666" as metaphors for love, and the feelings that surround being in love. The only reason I can think of why anyone would not be satisfied with anyone of HIMs records if because thyve digested too much mindless, substance-less, and pointlessly angry b.s. that america passes off as rock. Take a minute and think, have there been any american rock bands, in the last 5 years that will be remebered as being great? I know I cant think of any. HIM does not write songs for 15-16 year olds who dont know who they are, they dont write songs full of teen angst, they dont write about drugs, killing, or how many cars they have. They write for people who want love, and know what true love is. So get this album, sit with it, let Valos amazing vocals completely captivate you, then tell me what you think of HIM.

Good Goth Album? December 20, 2004
9 out of 17 found this review helpful

Well HIM do concider themselves "goth" anyway. This album is by far the BEST HIM album ever released. I have all their albums and their all great (read my reviews) but this one is The BEST both music wise and lyrically. I bought this album in amazon as an import a few months back but hopefully HIM do get around to releasing this commercially because it would be a great waste of a good album like this that never gets nationwide release. Best songs for me are:

It's All Tears (Drown In This Love)

Beginning Of The End

Wicked Game

Heartless

Don't Fear The Reaper

Moody melancholy love songs with a hard rock edge October 25, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

I'm not going to call this Metal since at 30 years old, I know the difference. ;) I will call this CD Hard Rock instead. I really enjoyed this particular CD. I had previously never heard of HIM before chancing upon a copy of this CD. Sometimes ignorance can come home in my shopping bag as a pleasant revelation. This is NOT I'm-An-Angry-Boy-So-I'll-Holler-My-Lungs-Out-Noise masquerading as "music" or "art." The lead vocalist has a clear voice and harmonizes with the other singers in the band nicely. His melancholy voice is quite pleasant and isn't grating or raspy.

I write poetry of my own and I thoroughly enjoy hearing poems in musical form. The mix of images woven into a dark tapestry grabbed my attention straight away. The lyrics read like shadowy poems of love, longing, loss, and bittersweet discoveries along the road of life.

I was pleasantly surprised by this group's cover of Wicked Game. My favorite song on the album is When Love and Death Meet. I am anxious to hear more from this band, and see where the road of the future takes them.
