Reviews Customer Reviews for Razorblade Romance H.i.M Have Produced a Masterpiece Rating: This band H.i.M, i have actually only just gotten into. I've heard about them for years now, mostly in Metal magazines, and never thought to check them out until now. I actually thought they were over-hyped, and like most over-hyped bands..I thought they wouldn't be able to live up to the hype surrounding them, and especially this Album "Razorblade Romance", when it came out. ..I was totally wrong. And now i know what all those Metal magazines were raving about..
This Album blew me away. Not one single song is "filler". Pretty much every song could be released as a single. It's that good. Songs like "I Love You (Prelude to Tragedy)", "Poison Girl", "Join Me In Death", "Right Here In My Arms", "Gone With The Sin", "Razorblade Kiss", "Bury Me Deep Inside Your Heart", "Heaven Tonight"..I mean, i just realized i'm naming them all. This Album is just..classic really. For this genre at least. H.i.M have produced a masterpiece.
The songs, most of, if not all, do have lyrics that are pretty self-explanitory and have everything to do with Love. But that definitely shouldn't be an immediate turn-off to open-minded Metal/Rock fans. And you don't have to be "Goth" to like this. People over 40, who are into Led Zeppelin, could get something out of this. People who write-off a band just because of the lyrical content, really don't listen hard enough to the music being played. H.i.M are talented for what they do, and yeah, they can write very good, catchy, anthemic Love songs. I can just imagine them playing Live and having the entire crowd singing along..
In saying that they'd appeal to fans of any age, and to Led Zeppelin..i would also add that they'd appeal strongly to fans of Type O Negative. Although not as 'depressing' and 'dark humoured', there are alot of similarities in both bands music. H.i.M would probably also appeal to fans of other bands like The Cure, New Order, The Sisters of Mercy, Nine Inch Nails even.. ..And pretty much any hard rock/metal/80's rock bands.
If you enjoy this CD, i strongly recommend their other Albums too.
