The Finnish dudes that make up HIM are back with another album filled with their lovemetal songs. They still sound gay as fuck and still write pop songs with a touch of goth and 80s-sounding keyboards to lure in the 13-year-old girls who like wearing black clothes but think that metal is too harsh and loud.

It’s those same girls who will probably get wet listening to vocalist Ville Valo as he squirms and wriggles through thirteen songs that all sound alike with his nasal castrato whining. Seven albums and these guys are still going? You're kidding, right? Just look at the song titles… “Disarm Me (With Your Loneliness)”, “Shatter Me With Hope”… it’s once again those 13-year-old girls who usually write bad poems with titles like that, not grown up men. Fuck, Bam Margera likes these guys… doesn’t that say it all?

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
