Great band!!!
This album is so good and complete, I don't get tired of singing the songs. . This band has soo much to give, I think they deserve more support for their talents, great artists=Great music!!!!.


It just hits the spot...
But I am compelled to put in my two cents here. I am not big on writing reviews on anything. I have been hooked on "In the shadows" ever since I saw the video for it. Never cared to actually explore the entire album. Now I finally have. The CD sounds a little repetitive in terms of music melody of the tracks, but it definitely hits the spot for me, so I must give it 5 stars.


The Singer Looks Like a Pat
Anyway its listenable pop rock alternative (goth?, no but they have a goth look, escpecially Pat). Hi, I saw "In The Shadows" on MTV Asia (India) and I was like, is that a guy or a chick? It's Pat (remember SNL skit?). Anyway, they will never make it in the US big, but that singer looks like Kelly Osbourne's double. You could listen to worse. BTW, MTV overseas is totally different than the homo agenda reality show and rap videos MTV in the States, its actually like it was in the early 80's playing mostly rock music videos. That tells me the American market is being manipulated to listen to rap or else Americans like rap and the rest of the world likes rock (I doubt that unless your a black American). I'm glad I don't follow trends and stayed true. .


very talented voice and good music... but lyrics are another story
his range and flexibility is breathtaking. alright, the lead-singer's voice is completely amazing. he doesn't go too high or anything like that, he just hits every note flawlessly. a lot of the tunes on this album are really good too. i mean, i'm humming the songs after the CD's through all the time. . . . but this band's got a HUGE flaw, and that is, they can't write very meaningful lyrics. their lyrics all sound like they're trying too hard to be dark while all the while "pop"ish music is bouncing about in the background. a lot of the songs have lyrics like something a 6th grader would write. i'm sorry, this band could be friggin' awesome if they weren't so shallow. you'll buy "Dead Letters" listen to it nonstop for about a week simply because it's really fun to sing along with and then discard it somewhere unseen to collect dust. it's a shame, it really is, because these guys have potential. . . but then again, they have been labeled as "goth-pop". . . i mean. . . they're probably trying to be just that, because it IS unique. obviously people do like them. . . . tis a shame still the same. they could be awesome if they grew up!.


i can't believe this was in my cd player a year ago
i really can't believe i bought this album after hearing the catchy but rubbish single "in the shadow" with it's catchy immature chorus their will be teenyboppers round the world thinking their goths and dark just because their singing a chorus about being in the shadows. . there was one song i like from this album but i gave it to a charity shop so i can't remember anymore and don't care
this band is good if you like sweet innocent pop music
but if you want real gothic music buy the cult, NIN, midnight oil, etc. . .
the rasmus are posers for a world who has no taste .
