i'm proud to say that this is the best album i've ever heard....
the other HIM albums are very good,but i can't even compare them with this masterpiece...their first album is the most raw of their career so far,but the finnish melancholia and the darkness that this album had overpasses my imagination...don't expect of hearing very difficult songs on it..the intrumentation is actually quite simple....but i think that's enough to make an album of the year
1.Your Sweet Six Six Six 10/10...a classic HIM song....and a gothic anthem for any listener
2.Wicked Game10/10....a very good cover from Chris Isaak....even though the hard guitars rule in this song....the touchy thing of Isaak's song still remains there
3.The heartless 9/10...maybe that's the average song on this album....but the backing vocals are beautiful...an epic sad song
4.Our Diabolikal Rapture 10/10....one of the best tracks on this album..and infernal atmosphere and the stoner sound rullz..Black Sabbath with a gothic touch
5.It's All Tears 11/10...brilliant highlight of the album...a very sad ,strong song...the lyrics are really cool....and the song will easily grow up on you
6.When Love and Death Embrace 10/10...the album's ballad....when you first listen to this album...this song will be your favourite...
7.The Beggining of The End 10/10....this song rocks hard...the guitars are infernal mean while Ville's voice is so quiet...untill his voice explodes finally
8.(Don't Fear) The Reaper 10/10...this cover does much better than the original version from The Cult...
9.For You 11/10...i dunno how Ville wrote the lyrics from this song...cause they are fantastic..brilliant song
Must Buy!
