My son decided to buy this as he is into rock music. However, from age 7 to age 74 we all like it. Some pieces of music are really quite melodic and 1 song sounds like Titanic title song! Although my son thinks that i'm talking rubbish when I say that!
I expected this cd of HIM to be good, because it's a collection of greatest HIM songs till that period. But I was surprised because it was much better than I expected. There are some cd's when I want to skip one or the other song, but nothing like this while listening to the songs in 'And Love Said No'. It's definitely worth buying!!!!
Absolutely briliant. This really does include all their best tracks plus more. Well worth buying even if you have the albums. Not so sure about the DVD though.
This is a great collection of 'HIM' goodness! It has all the great tunes, as well as a few new ones; 'And Love Said No' and 'Solitary Man'. Here's a quick list;
1 and love said no 2 join me (razorblade mix) 3 buried alive by love 4 heartache every moment 5 solitary man 6 right here in my arms 7 the funeral of hearts 8 in joy and sorrow 9 your sweet 666 10 gone with sin 11 wicked game 12 the sacrament 13 close to the flame 14 it's all tears (drown in this love) 15 poison girl 16 pretending (album version) 17 when love and death embrace
You also get a bonus DVD, which I have to say made my day! You can find videos from;
1 soul on fire (live) 2 the funeral of hearts (live) 3 beyond redemption (live) 4 sweet pandemonium (live) 5 buried alive by love (live) 6 the sacrament (live)
All the lyrics are supplied in the cover book, for an aid to your sing along (as if you didn't already know the words!) and a lovely centerfold piccy of the band. Unfortunately mine has a staple right through Valo's head, which makes it almost impossible to kiss his lovely image - but hey you can't have everything!!
Seriously though, this is a great album and I definately recommend a listen.
Excellent cd. A great cd to get if you have never heard a HIM album before. Great tracks like Buried Alive By Love, Your Sweet 666 and a great cover of Chris Isaac's Wicked Game. Put simply its a great album to start with if your a HIM novice, and wont be your last after listening to it......also the album cover is great as Ville Valo is really HOT (I've been told to say that, sorry)!
i love this HIM album it is like a greatest hits of all the albums before it so its got all of the best songs on it, its a really great cd an one of my favourite HIM albums!!!
A brilliant mixture of the bands old and new material. There are slow songs dark songs like 'Close To The Flame', and heavier metal songs like 'Funer Of Hearts'. It really is a fantastic buy.
