Free Music Notes for Uneasy Listening 1Free Music Review: Impressive Hit: 4 Stars
Well, I'll try not to make this a biased comment, only because I'm a huge HIM fan, and their music is probably the most down to earth stuff my ears get to catch.
The acoustic version of "The Funeral of Hearts" is incredible, along with "Buried Alive by Love." You can really hear Vallo giving his all to both of those, and not to mention the Apocalyptica hauntings in "Gone With the Sin." Definitely worth buying, and a must-have for anyone who liked even one song of His Infernal Majesty.
Free Music Review: HIM remixed and live Hit: 4 Stars
This cd was pretty good. I have to disagree with the other review about the vocals not being good, because they are. I think its nice to hear a song in a different way. One of the best tracks is the "Salt in our Wounds" remix. It took forever for HIM to be released in the US, so now I think they are trying to get new fans to listen to their older tracks. If you like the first couple of albums, then you will probably like this one as well.

Free Music Review: Hit and Miss. Very Uneasy Listening... Hit: 2 Stars
I really like this band and was looking forward to hearing this CD of re-mixes, acoustic, or 'aor radio mix' which is basically "When Love and Death Embrace" cut down to half it's length. But the truth is, at least for me, it just wasn't that interesting. DARK LIGHT was probably their biggest selling album to date and I'm guessing this was a stop-gap between studio albums. It looks like I was right once I listened to it. Ville Valo's vocals are a little off on some songs("Buried Alive By Love") and most(but not all) of the acoustic stuff is, I hate to say this.... boring. It's not all bad, this CD has it's moments("In Joy and Sorrow", "It's All Tears", "Please Don't Let It Go", among others) but they are few and far between. I'm a big fan of HIM but this just wasn't that great. I doubt if I'll even get Vol. 2 whenever it comes out. It just lacked something from their studio albums which I guess I should stick to. Still a great band, but this CD just didn't do it for me, or at least not enough to say 'buy this!'.
Free Music Review: Tracks I already own on the box set. Hit: 2 Stars
Well for starters I'm a Very big HIM fan, but not just of HIM, but of Gothic rock and Finish music. So I guess it's hard to say, but this was a let down. Not because of quality of tracks...but the selection used. Most of these can be found on the Singles collection box set. Which includes the vast majority of these and MANY other great tracks. So if you can drop the extra $$$, go for the box set. The Rock version of Beautiful is worth the price alone.
