 this cd and band is awful March 30, 2005
12 out of 27 found this review helpful
dear god, what the hell is this garbage. anyone that thinks this band is good is insane. "most depressing love songs" was in one of these reviews...if you want depressing love songs, dont look for them in His Infernal Magesty's(HIM) cd. go buy some emo if you want sad love songs. this band, and Camp Kill Yourself (CKY) both suck. i hope no one ever buys these cds ever again. i didnt even want to give 1 star, but i couldnt post this unless i did.

< sarcasm >The album art is incredibly dreamy, and the song titles/lyrics make me swoon. I haven't heard music this good since Depeche Mode's huge heavy metal hit "Personal Jesus".< /sarcasm >
I can't believe that anyone would call this any sort of metal...well...perhaps tin...but it is no British steel. This music is so gay that I'm surprised it isn't part of the "Queer As Folk" sound track. Maybe it is. If it is, then I stand corrected.

love metal? this has nothing metal about it. it's a rock band with that goth thing going on. this band sucks, but surely will give you a good laugh.
Horrible Imitation of Music November 19, 2005

When I first heard about HIM, I was told enthusiastically that for anyone who grew up on The Mission, Sisters, Fields of the Nephilim, et cetera, this was a must-have. So, I eagerly downloaded a bunch of songs as a taster. And my reaction was - this is truly atrocious. It sounds like Paradise Lost watered down with Clay Aiken. The vocals are poor to midling, the lyrics ridiculous, and the music was very, very limp. It reminds me very much of the horrid second wave of G*th bands in the 80s - Rosetta Stone, London After Midnight, etc.
To any fans of this, I would highly recommend you check out "Symbol of Life" from PARADISE LOST. It is the best example of a modern version of this genre of music that I have found in recent years. Otherwise, check out the originals that obviously inspired this band - Sisters of Mercy "Vision Thing," The Mission "Children," Fields of the Nephilim "Elyzium," Red Lorry Yellow Lorry "Blow," Christian Death "Only Theatre of Pain."

This is Finland's Britney Spears right here, folks.
You want some real suicide rock check out Sentenced, Charon, or Poisonblack, among others. I can't say I'm surprised this band has started gaining popularity in the states, far be it for MTV-brainwashed morons to listen to anything but... well, MTV-brainwashed-moron music. Ironic, isn't it. Just remember that any time you want a product plugged. Put it on MTV and have some stupid "star" say its "da bomb" and you'll sell a million units in 2.5 seconds.
