Hide From The Sun - Album review

"With their fifth album, "Dead Letters" and the earwig, "In the shadows" the Finns wrote the big throw two years ago. As well as the entrance into the teenie press and the hearts of many Gothic girls. Who are now again served by the singer Lauri Ylönen and Co, with deeply romantic lyrics about darkness, loneliness, immortality, shadow creatures and fallen angels. Combined with nice melodies and an extra portion of pathos, The Rasmus again go for the charts and an easy-care mainstream audience. But shameless pop songs, like "Shot" or "Dancer in the Dark" quite close to kitsch stand in line with heavy rock songs like, "Lucifer's Angel" or "Night After Night (Out of the Shadows)" where the band appears with heavy riffs and Industrial elements.
An in-between of credibility and commerce that works because the quintet is willing to experiment and to be variable instead of only going for the dark side of the moon. So, "Dead Letters" was no nine days wonder"

Has anybody else got the album?
Any thoughts of the band? :love:

I've never heared any of their songs. However... they got a cool and awesome name. I mean... "The Rasmus"... it's just so awesome. :cool:

[Reine]

I love the Dead Letters album. I have yet to get Hide from the Sun, but ive got Lucifer's Angel from it, and its awesome. These guys are definitely my fav band

[Zeldy]

Hide From The Sun grows on you. At first I wasn't keen. But now I adore it.

[Madame Adequate]

From what I've heard, I don't like The Rasmus very much at all. However, I've only heard two or three songs, so I'm not going to universally condemn them without giving them more of a chance. Are there any particularly good songs that could be recommended?

[Sare]

There's a Finnish kids cartoon figure called Rasmus-bear. I think the name origins from that.
I've seen the band live years ago and they were actually quite nice. I like their older music better though. I'm not a big fan, but of course I have to support them. Not many Finnish bands are known in the world :)

I assume you've heard In The Shadows, Guilty and First Day Of My Life?
No Fear, Lucifers Angel and Immortal are awesome songs.
