Free Music Review: The Finnish Invasion has begun!! All hail The Rasmus!
Hit: 5 Stars
If you're an American, most people you know have never heard of The Rasmus. If you're reading this, there is a good chance that you are only hearing of them for the first time. 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.
