Mom loves daughter's new CD
Review for the seller is excellent packaging and shipping. I have never heard of this group but I love their sound. Thank you for the very quick response and shipping. Will buy from seller again.


Great album!!!
This edition is like the perfect Rasmus album out there, get it!!! it's so great and full of talented melodies!!! I love it!!!.


One Great CD
I was disappointed when they never had any other songs that I know of in the U. A couple years ago I heard the song In the Shadows and I loved it. S. About a year later I saw their CD Dead Letters at a used CD store and thought it was worth the risk. I loved that CD and it was well worth the $4. 00 I paid. When I found out they where releasing a new CD I was very exited. Their new CD is great and I love the included bonus tracks. I bought this CD full price and it was still worth it. The CD is so good it is hard for me to choose one good song. I highly recommend this CD for any fan of The Rasmus or any other bands smiler like A. F. I or H. I. M. .


The Finnish Invasion has begun!! All hail The Rasmus!
If you're reading this, there is a good chance that you are only hearing of them for the first time. If you're an American, most people you know have never heard of The Rasmus. Upon listening to this album, as well as their 2003 release Dead Letters, 2001's Into, and numerous tracks from their other CD's, dating back to 1996, the first sentence of this paragraph is going to seem utterly ridiculous.

Remember when rock used to be catchy? Remember when singers sang, instead of growled and belched, even in hard music? Do you miss hard rock songs that you can't help but sing along with? Welcome to The Rasmus. Pick up this CD, as well as their previous two (at the very least), and prepare to be amazed. Each CD these guys seems like a best-of collection. Each song sounds like it could be - and should be - a hit.

Lead singer Lauri Ylonen has a unique voice, as scratchy and full of character as it is angelic. He doesn't just sing the melody, he hits the notes. He must have perfect pitch. Nobody else sings like this. Nobody else could. Not in rock & roll, anyway. Mechanical precision, yet dripping with soul. Even if the songs sucked, you'd owe it to yourself to check out this guy's singing.

But the music doesn't suck. While definitely rock 'n roll, it eschews the typical blues based progressions of rock & metal for classical structures and melodies - and not always minor key arrangements either. These guys are fun. And serious. This isn't cock rock, nor is it butt rock. This is something new. This is the kind of rock you turn up to 11 on the car stereo, while at the same time, you can totally imagine a classical arrangement of each song, with strings replacing the crashing guitars and impassioned vocals. In fact, it would be damn good classical music.

The best part about discovering the Rasmus at this very point in history, is that they have an excellent back catalog. There is nothing like finding a band that, somehow, has escaped your attention for a decade, and used their time spent in obscurity (to you, at least) creating a discography that you eventually come to fall in love with.

Early material from The Rasmus had a ska sound, while their more recent stuff takes on a harder rocking, pop-metal sound that showcases their excellent sense of melody, song structure, variety, and lyrical depth. Fans of H. I. M. , 69 Eyes, Lacuna Coil, and other pop-goth bands probably already know about The Rasmus. If not, check them out ASAP! And if that list of bands didn't look familiar to you, you've got at least 4 new favorite bands (including The Rasmus) to check out.


The Rasmus ROCKS!!
The balance between heavier rock songs and melodic ballads is just about perfect, my favorite so far being "Shot" and "Keep Your Heart Broken". I not only own the US release of HFTS, I also own an import copy, if that tells you how great this CD is!
It's very rare that the US is treated to extra tracks that Europe and Japan are not, in fact, this is the only time I've ever heard of/seen it happen!
The music on this CD is nothing less than phenomenal. . . and the lead singer's (Lauri Ylönen) voice draws you in and traps you in a different world. It seems like he's singing only to you.
I highly recommend this CD (and any of their previous albums). . . and if you don't buy it, you'll never know what you're missing!!.
