i still dont know what to say about the new release
i cannot tell that i dislike the artwork, but i cannot tell that i like
as i know the band HIM and i like the voice of ville and the way their music sound i'm sure i will like the album
venus doom for example have an "peculiar" artwork too (seems to be the age of the strange womans in the cover art) and there was inside very nice HIM songs, SPH was a surprise, so long and HIM
this cover art is a nice, but as venus doom, if you dont know about the music of the band you wont pick that album for the cover
and about the single cover, yes i like, is pink and with the logo, but i was one day with a doub or not if it was official or not, and still with doubt, because could be easy fan made
and here there is something more
http://www.recordshopx.com/artist/him/screamworks_love_in_theory_and_practice/that shop is selling as preorder the album with 13 tracks, and as usual there will be some limited edition, so, ho many songs in ltd edition? normal edition will have 13 songs?
with venus doom, only kiss of dawn was a "real" single, released in finland, germany, uk and one hottopic single
but later bleed well was just a promo and a download single, just in around 4-5 months, later no more about the band except for the long waited dvd and some other rare releases
so what this time? HMC no longer exist, so there is only one label for the band: warner/sire
and they dont do and not need to do more promotion of releases of the band
the official uk site is outdated since january 2009, the linked him store doesnt exist
so there will be this time those cheap 3 singles pack?
only heartagram.com is updated but they like the games more than me
the single release is just one week before the album, and here i cannot go to a cd shop and get it because its not available, and the only version of the album will be the normal one at 18-20 euro again?
so again my best option to listen them is download the songs, because it will last two weeks to get the "physical" single release
and, i can tell you that the spanish fan club is not much active, except me
no pics or info from the local label, probably because they dont have it, and HIM is not priority as it was with dark light
so better source is again forums and the official site
