as much as i do like the early HIM albums (i do), most often when i get the urge to listen to them, i just end up listening to sentenced instead..
same genre, but much better.

Hey alco you hear any of the new HIM yet?
The new single kiss of down and venus doom sound terrible...poorly written songs that aren't even catchy. Dead lovers sounds pretty legit though. It's gonna be their worst cd yet from the sound of things. Waiting to hear the rest.
**first of all, don't listen to the haters here...HIM is definitely a fine, talented band**
Yeah, I've been listening to "Passions Killing Floor" for quite some time now and man was it disappointing to me. I mean, I thought I was listening to a remix of Wings of a Butterfly haha - and that just pissed me off. But I gave it some time, and well...the tune kinda grew on me and it's OK, but it still annoys me that it sounds way familiar.
Also, I agree with you - it sounds like it's going to be their worst album. In fact, I shouldn't say it like that. More like...the band's FIRST disappointing album and the FIRST album showing no sign of inspiration.
I haven't checked out the songs you have mentioned but will do so immediately - first chance I get. But from your opinion (and I'm basing this on our similar music tastes) it seems it's nothing to get excited over. Such a shame, as Venus Doom was supposed to be my album of the year (I guess they're slowly going downhill now).
Now Sentenced to me can't even begin to compare to HIM. They have that catchy vibe to them as well, but it seems like many of their songs just don't quite manage to live up to the amazing standards of Valo's. Valo has one of this generation's greatest voices. I consider him to be like the next David Bowie in a way.
And for those who try to knock HIM down, I guess you made up your minds before even giving the band a real chance. Hey, I know what it's like as I was in the same boat. But then when I heard a song somewhere playing in the background, I was drawn in to their sound. Ever since, I was a fan.

...just a few here.
I just don't get how songs like these can garner so much hate. Its gotta be the band's image....seriously.
Woops, wrote too much again. Oh well, I don't post here often anyway haha.
HIM is a great band, and very consistent as well. They're one of the few bands that I can honestly say I enjoy all their work equally. I think the new one sounds great, and I especially like the slower doom passages they've thrown in.
Well put.
Altough I think that Venus Doom will be good too. I definetly like the guitar sound on Kiss of Dawn and Passion's Killing Floor and Ville indeed is one of the best singers around. If not the best. He has a really versatile voice, just check out something like For You from Uneasy Listening Vol.1
Him sucks ass. period.
The fact that the band comes from my country doesn't give them extra points from me. They have always sucked and will always suck 'till the end of time.
The vocalist Ville Valo sounds like a sheep with a vibrator in it's arse. hahaha!
You mustn't take me seriously. really. Maybe I was a bit childish with the sheep-thing, but I really can't see anyting good in HIM. no disrespect for the fans, that is only my opinion. Feel free to attack the bands that I likeHow old are you? 15?
I think they are a good band, I can enjoy some of their songs, but I'm not a big fan or something.

Thanks pal, I appreciate that! Everybody here on Katatonia forum must have a good taste of music, otherwise they wouldn't listen to Katatonia! you have a godly music taste too, for what I seeIt's allright. I'm sorry.

So I can't bash them.
