Title: Favorite Venus Doom song?
Post by: TheHeartless on August 29, 2007, 03:21:35 AM
Since I started listening to HIM, each album has had a few songs that it took me some effort to like, but that really grew on me later.  With Dark Light that was over half the album.  But with Venus Doom, I've only found one song so far that I can't tell if I like or not, and that's Love in Cold Blood.  Every other one that has shown up on the net or whatever, has just impressed the hell out of me and I am confident that this will be their best album yet.  They may have a hard time topping it.

Anyhow, my favorite at the moment is the title track because it's just so damn hard-hitting.  What about you all

well, we haven't heard the whole thing so far...
but i'm also having a good feeling about it...

favourite song so far?
venus doom... amazing stuff... i love the beginning when you first hear ville's breath in and then all the instruments set in...

i'm also really excited for the full love in cold blood and especially dead lover's lane... also very amazing what i heard so far...

I love everything I heard so far, but the best is Venus Doom - that's song which show us the new harder HIM, but at same time it has soft vocals.
Also Passion's Killing Floor is very good song - this is how Dark Light should sound.

The  Kiss Of Dawn is my favorit so far...but i think Song or sucide wil be good  ;)
Title: Re: Favorite Venus Doom song?
Post by: eairthrow on August 29, 2007, 10:42:19 AM
I think the best is Dead Lover's Lane! I absolutely love this song! Energetic chours with beautiful, soft verses, great solo, Ville's screaming in the end...ahh...perfect!

i find myself excited everytime i hear Venus Doom, the song.
Title: Re: Favorite Venus Doom song?
Post by: Rasta666 on August 29, 2007, 11:47:25 AM
the chorus of venus doom just literally takes my breath... i find myself always singing along...
however, my head keeps telling me Kiss Of Dawn is my fav song
Title: Re: Favorite Venus Doom song?
Post by: Spiritual_takeover on August 29, 2007, 02:51:10 PM
It's a hard question... not only because all these tracks I've heard are fucking great but because there are still two tracks: Song or Suicide & Sleepwalking Past Hope, that I haven't heard yet... I gotta say that Sleepwalking Past Hope it's a great title and should be a great song as well, looking forward to listening to it. My (current) VD song is Dead Lover's Lane.
Title: Re: Favorite Venus Doom song?
Post by: Otacon132 on August 29, 2007, 05:26:37 PM
i havent listened to anything but the kiss of dawn - i wanna make the cd a surprise =)
Title: Re: Favorite Venus Doom song?
Post by: TheHeartless on August 29, 2007, 07:01:56 PM
lol That's a good way to do it but I don't think I possibly could.  I started listening to HIM 4 years ago and I got such a steady flow of new songs from their already extensive discography that having to really wait for the next stuff to come out has been an incredible chore.  I've been like floating around looking for the keys to heartagram.com and checking torrent sites every day hoping something new has popped up.
Title: Re: Favorite Venus Doom song?

this album is gonna rock the socks of Dark Light...
i dont hate dark light, but i dont think it's the direction they wanted it to go in

Maybe because of VD all fan imitations that appeared after Dark Light release will finally forget about HIM :)

Post by: Ziggy18 on August 30, 2007, 10:58:02 AM
right now i'm loving dead lover's lane, but i need to hear the whole cd to have a deffinite answer. 
Title: Re: Favorite Venus Doom song?
Post by: Carru on August 30, 2007, 02:35:34 PM
I totally agree with all of you,
this material is top notch, I think its great that they decided to record when they did,
everything i've heard so far is blowing my mind, really didn't expect this, thought they were gonna get softer, but its good to see that this album is more guitar oriented, same with love metal.
Title: Re: Favorite Venus Doom song?
Post by: DarkDesigner on August 30, 2007, 04:28:08 PM
the song i like the most right now is dead lover's lane..but i sure want to hear the complete version..can't wait till my book arrives!!!!<33
Title: Re: Favorite Venus Doom song?
Post by: TooHappyToBeAlive on August 31, 2007, 03:17:57 AM
As of now Venus Doom is the best song... But I actually think I will LOVE bleed well when I hear the whole thing. The clip just sounds so GREAT

Post by: muschy on September 06, 2007, 11:15:29 AM
Bleed Well - 10/10, I love the chorus and the lyrics
Love in Cold Blood - 10/10, chorus and lyrics, gives me the same feeling as bleed well
Passion's Killing Floor - 9/10, the intro hook, chorus, and breakdown are all great
Venus Doom - 9/10, this breakdown is the best i have ever heard
Sleepwalking Past Hope - 7.5/10, its good, seems to drag on, maybe purposely
Dead Lover's Lane - 7.5/10, i don't like this song now, but its one that i will love later
Cyanide Sun - 7/10, to me it was a disappointment, but still a solid song, i was expecting way too much, the ending is great though
Kiss of Dawn - 6.5/10, tolerable, a horrible choice for a single though
Song or Suicide - 4/10, near worthless, its not like its bad, its just worthless, because of this the album basically only has 8 songs

after listening to this CD for a while, I'd have to say that my favorite song is Dead Lover's Lane.

I mean the song has so much going on for it.
it's got a calming almsot tranquil kind of feel to it during the verses, it has a great chorus that packs a punch, and the solo is one of my favorites by far.

its just a great overall song
