HIM - And Love Said No (1997-2004/+DVD) (CD 2004)

This is a great collection of 'HIM' goodness! It has all the great tunes, as well as a few new ones; 'And Love Said No' and 'Solitary Man'. Here's a quick list;

1 and love said no
2 join me (razorblade mix)
3 buried alive by love
4 heartache every moment
5 solitary man
6 right here in my arms
7 the funeral of hearts
8 in joy and sorrow
9 your sweet 666
10 gone with sin
11 wicked game
12 the sacrament
13 close to the flame
14 it's all tears (drown in this love)
15 poison girl
16 pretending (album version)
17 when love and death embrace

You also get a bonus DVD, which I have to say made my day! You can find videos from;

1 soul on fire (live)
2 the funeral of hearts (live)
3 beyond redemption (live)
4 sweet pandemonium (live)
5 buried alive by love (live)
6 the sacrament (live)

All the lyrics are supplied in the cover book, for an aid to your sing along (as if you didn't already know the words!) and a lovely centerfold piccy of the band. Unfortunately mine has a staple right through Valo's head, which makes it almost impossible to kiss his lovely image - but hey you can't have everything!!

Seriously though, this is a great album and I definately recommend a listen.

i love this HIM album it is like a greatest hits of all the albums before it so its got all of the best songs on it, its a really great cd an one of my favourite HIM albums!!!

My son decided to buy this as he is into rock music. However, from age 7 to age 74 we all like it. Some pieces of music are really quite melodic and 1 song sounds like Titanic title song! Although my son thinks that i'm talking rubbish when I say that!

I expected this cd of HIM to be good, because it's a collection of greatest HIM songs till that period. But I was surprised because it was much better than I expected. There are some cd's when I want to skip one or the other song, but nothing like this while listening to the songs in 'And Love Said No'. It's definitely worth buying!!!!

Absolutely briliant. This really does include all their best tracks plus more. Well worth buying even if you have the albums.
Not so sure about the DVD though.

Excellent cd. A great cd to get if you have never heard a HIM album before. Great tracks like Buried Alive By Love, Your Sweet 666 and a great cover of Chris Isaac's Wicked Game. Put simply its a great album to start with if your a HIM novice, and wont be your last after listening to it......also the album cover is great as Ville Valo is really HOT (I've been told to say that, sorry)!

A brilliant mixture of the bands old and new material. There are slow songs dark songs like 'Close To The Flame', and heavier metal songs like 'Funer Of Hearts'. It really is a fantastic buy.

H.I.M are a good band, my favourite song is solitary man, i bought it because i wanted to listen to more when i first heard H.I.M, also i wanted the dvd of them singing live :-)

THIS ALBUM WASNOT BOUGHT FOR MYSELF IT WAS A GIFT FOR MY SON.I ASKED IF I COULD LISTEN TO IT THE OTHER DAY AND WAS EXPECTING SOME SORT OF BALLISTIC ATTACK ON THE EARS IE SLIPKNOT,MACHINEHEAD AS THIS IS THE SORT OF MUSIC MY SON LIKES.ANYHOW WHAT A NICE SURPRISE HIM ARE WELL LIKEABLE WITH DECENT LYRICS AND AN ALMOST SOFT ROCK APPROACH.I DARENT TELL MY SON I LIKE THIS ALBUM OR HE MAY GIVE HIM A WIDE BIRTH.DEFINATELY RECOMMENDED.

This is only My second HIM Album I have bought and the Music just keeps getting BETTER and BETTER. Just Liston to HIMs version of Chris Izaak's Wicked game which is Absolutely Fantastic. And on top of that the Live DVD is just Mind Blowing.
(THERE BEST ALBUM SO FAR)

I love everything about this album!!

If people want an insight to the musical genius of HIM, they need to listen to this album as its a compelation all of their Hits feat. Join Me, Right Here In My Arms and more of the best from all of their albums before Dark Light.

This album is sure to give the listener the best insight into the genius of HIM.
