Since in the past few weeks I`ve relistened to some of the records I enjoyed when I was younger (it`s the 75 year old me talking right now) I couldn`t skip HIM (his infernal majesty). Back in high school when I was a sad, sad person I used to listen to this album quite a lot. Not in the past few years though. HIM are a finnish band that plays its music in the style of goth rock relying on two subjects - love and death. For most of the time these two things are considered to be one. After those years these songs don`t even seem that overplayed to me, even "Poison Girl". The album doesn`t offer much more than its four singles, so I`ll rate them according to what I think of those songs. 1)"Poison Girl", 2) "Join Me", 3) "Right here in my arms", 4) "Gone with the sin". Actually back in school I thought of "RHimA" as the best cut but today the rocking track seems a bit too forced to me. The other three songs are a bit too similar to each other, of course, and cliches override this record but who cares - as music for pokemon people this ain`t bad at all. Oh yeah, and all the non-single songs apart from the opening "Prelude to tragedy" proudly suck. This still is music for depressed high school losers, even if you think it ain`t.
