Venus Doom | Some Kind Of Sick Joke?

As most of you know, I have this sheer hatred for Ville Valo. Why? Because I can’t stand the way he is all over the place, the way he acts like some metal Diva and I hate the heartagram. However, I have not heard much HIM music and the stuff I did hear was not all that bad. Now to my point. Someone, probably a disgruntled HIM fan sent me an opened (Used) copy of Venus Doom recently. I guess that’s what I get for posting my address online. Anyway, I listened to it and what I can say is this: It’s NOT metal, it’s rock, but a soothing rock melody and Ville has a decent voice…but IT’S NOT METAL I don’t care what color you paint it. One complaint I do have about the music is that each and every song seems too long. Just when you think it’s finally over it drags on for another minute and a half.

So there I said it, HIM’s music is alright. I may lose some respect and/or “cool points” for saying this, but screw it…every metal fan has some rotten skeletons that most are too afraid to show, so piss off. If you want to just relax and listen to rock songs ~~about love and suicide~~ then it’s perfect for you. This will probably go into my collection of Guilty Pleasures but I still stand my ground when I say that I still don’t-like-Ville…and to his hardcore fans that kiss the ground he walks on…grow up, he’s just some grubby, love starved dude that doesn’t give two flying shits about you or your love letters to him! Idols are for people that can’t live for themselves!
