Free Music Notes for Deep Shadows & Brilliant Highlights
Free Music Review: It all went downhill from this one on.
Hit: 2 Stars
Ah yes, HIM started to go downhill after and with this one. This one I acquired after getting Razorblade Romance, Love Metal and Greatest Lovesongs, and I was quite surprised that I hadn't ever heard of this one. I got it, rushed home to listen to it, and I did, and I have been revisiting that horrid memory every time I listen to those few songs I liked in this one.
"Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights" marks the beginning of HIM's descent into mellower, less moody, wasted-potential music, which they later described as "love metal" when it had lost all connection with what it used to be. This album also marks the start of "Ten Songs Per Album" rule of HIM, guaranteeing what will most likely be a short and catastrophic listen.
"Heartache Every Moment", "Pretending", "Love You Like I Do". That's it. The rest of the album sounds like it has been taken out of some dreamy pop album with electric guitar and overall too much acoustic and cheery melodies, complete with all songs regarding love or loss thereof, as usual, however, without the edge they delivered in Greatest Lovesongs and Razorblade Romance.
This album takes a lot of getting used to, simply because it takes for you to get used to the idea HIM could have gotten this dreamy and cheerful. Like I said, after this, the band went downhill, with the brief interruption of "Love Metal".
Free Music Review: Woops how did that fall out of my trashcan?
Hit: 1 Stars
Does anyone even really listen to these songs when they are played? Aside from a little fourteen year old hot topic girl who though she shopped for hello kitty toys just last year, suddenly starts thinking life is Dark and DEPRESSSING and turn to droning scene versions of what tries so hard to be David Bowie just had a sex change and made birth to Alanis Morsette with a voice box and died in an anonomous car accident. If your gonna waste your money then I suggest you spend it on a life...if you cant afford that then sell your plasma and try to sell back your black rimmed glasses and baggy chain pants to hot topic....but I hear the dont take returns because even they know what they sell is crap. And one more thing. Him has as much sex appeal as an Oppossom with hair implants and nicotine-stained gaped teeth...you children who worship his razor scratched little body make me want to contort spill out my guts in a Taco Bell toilet bowl and become a twin sister to Hellen Keller.
