“Sluggish guitar riff that sets into motion as a keyboard layers the melody. The drums pulses with a feel and the band unites in a Rock and Roll we’ve not heard in over a decade or ever for that matter. A absolute born rock singer lights his cigarette and then so elegantly lets you know about what love does to us all in some way. I noticed HIM’s symbol of the “heartagram” and listened carefully to the words and the way they pummel a listener with a truth in between lines. Its as though the lyrics see love as a great evil, because it can be all you want so greatly that it can and will drive you mad. Like a fierce drug that holds us all in its absolute power. ~ review by Michael J. Harper
