About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Even though H.I.M.'s main goal seems to be gaining attention from a female audience, Greatest Lovesongs sure was a success artistically. The contrast between Razorblade Romance and the debut, however, is quite large. Melancholy and angst seem a little artificial, while Greatest Lovesongs had a truly pressuring atmosphere all the time. Razorblade Romance forgets all about that, and the whole concept of Gothic rock and so-called "love metal" repeats itself many times during the album. But the songs themselves are actually very good; when ignoring the implementation, hit songs like "Join Me in Death" and "Right Here in My Arms" work really nicely. And horrendous clichés in lyrics and playing don't really matter, because H.I.M. recycles them well. The slightly overproduced sound may distract for a while, but after all, the song material is of a kind that is hard to fit into a demanding format. Anyhow, the songs as a whole are organized well, and it's easy to listen to the album the whole way through. [The import edition includes bonus tracks.] ~ Antti J.

Best HIM Album All-Aroundby TheValentine

September 16, 2009: This was the first HIM album that I bought back in 2006. It was the album that started it all for me. From the first song of the album "Your Sweet 666", I was hooked. There has been not one song on the album or of on any HIM album that I never liked or did not favour. But listening to this album is like striking a pot of gold amongst a mine of ore. All songs on this album are jam-packed with feeling, sentiment, emotion, contrast, and overall, LOVE.

I Also Recommend: Digital Versatile Doom: Live at the Orpheum Theatre, Venus Doom.
