[ChrisW-Ness2003]

Brilliant name for a DVD I must say!

[noodlegts]

Sorry i know that was not warranted.. it's just that the "Wings of a butterfly" song was stuck in my head forever, not because its good, but becaues they played it ALL the TIME!

Everybody who says HIM sucks and blah blah blah.....you people just dont face the fact that they overcome a lot of your favorite bands, kiss HIM's ass and kiss my ****ing ass, DEAL WITH IT

First Four HIM albums were KICK ASSIO now they went pop

This is the only place I find HIM hate :s
My opinion: HIM rock.
And I'm always right.

[Thienskater]

i know i'm picking it up.

[ghostofhendrix]

HIM are alright...kinda repetitive though...

checked.

You guys above me who are saying that you are always right... Go the **** to hell. If i don't like him (which i don't), i have my reasons. I don't believe in love-metal. I don't think HIM overcomes Metallica. Nowhere near. But that's MY opinion. So GTFO.

That being said, i think it sucks when a band pushes back an album.

interesting...not sure if i will get it though, i prefer to spend my money on something else.

I'd say Deep Shadows is their most poppish record by far, but I won't argue that they went downhill after Love Metal. The new songs are solid and proffessionally done but they feel kinda... unspectacular. The earlier records really had soul, back in the pre-US days.

Can't wait for it to come out, just kind of sad that it's missing And Love Said No, Right Here In My Arms and Under The Rose. Ah well, might go see them on the 31stif I can find a way to get there. =D If not then =|
