i think if ht would play it through the store without telling people that would be cool
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Ziggy18 on September 16, 2005, 03:52:24 PM
Oh i thought it would be played in HT stores and not over ht.com.  If they did play it in stores than do u think it will be a HIM song every so often or they'ed play it continuously?

Does anyone know exatly what will be in the LE hardbound book? The book would be the only reason I would spend the extra money to get the LE and not just be happy with my Internet only edition.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III

OoO, let me know what the LE book looks like. Good idea to have them open one for you.

Well if someone gets their internet edition early, i'm sure they will tell us whats in it (since some of us might not have gotten it yet).

Here's my Vampire Heart lyrics by the way...

Quote
You can't escape the wrath of my heart beating to your funeral song.
[ You're so alone ]
All faith is lost for hell regained in the dust in the hands of shame.
[ Just be brave ]

Let me breathe you this song of my heart before
I lead you on this path in the dark
Where I belong until I feel your warmth

Hold me...
Like you held on to life when all fears came alive and entombed me.
Love me...
Like you love the sun scorching the blood in my Vampire Heart.

I'll be the thorns on every rose, you've been sent my hope.
[ You'll grow cold ]
I am the nightmare waking you up from the dream of a dream of love.
[ Just like before ]

Let me weep you this poem as heavens gates close.
Paint you my soul, scarred and alone
Waiting for your kiss to take me back home

Hold me...
Like you held on to life when all fears came alive and entombed me.
Love me...
Like you love the sun scorching the blood in my Vampire Heart.

"Let me breathe you this song of my heart before"


... I think it's   "Let me weave you this song of my heart deformed"

I took a closer listen and figured it out:

"Let me begin this song of my heart deformed"

That's not correct. Too many syllables. It's either breathe or bleed, but it most certainly sounds like breathe.

I know you said not like making of individual songs, but I just wanted to mention they did do two versions of a 'Making of 'The Funeral of Hearts''. The English one was on Love Metal Archives, Vol. 1, and a Finnish on some random Finnish station.

Other than that, I don't think I've seen any other 'Making Ofs' for any of their albums. Until now, I don't think I've ever even seen video of HIM in studio.

I read somewhere earlier that the bass problems at rock AM Ring were a cover up so they didn't spoil a really good outro. Assuming this information would only be known if the song were leaked, would someone be kind enough to share it plz? If you don't want to share it with everyone then just send me and PM and I can even show you proof of purchase of the Internet only edition of Dark Light to prove I'm not just leeching the file from you.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: robertzombie on September 17, 2005, 06:13:18 AM
KL hasn't been leaked, however, those that have the Promo CD and Mr Diamond (who heard it at the meeting) have heard the outro and that's how we "know" that it's amazing. although only a few people actually "know" how amazing it actually is :D

I think the LE book DL thing will be presented in the same way as the U2-HTDAAB book/CD.

Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Weemo on September 17, 2005, 12:48:02 PM
From what I heard of it (in the making of video), Dark Light sounds a lot better than the clip. Under the Rose is quite interesting. Killing Loneliness sounded good as well. So far the only new song that I am disappointed in wasn't completely in love with was Poison Heart.

Ville also seems so much happier. I wonder if this'll lead the next album into a love-song style rather than the usual heartbroken songs.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Inferno on September 18, 2005, 12:33:33 AM
It could very much happen. He said himself in the video that he has so much love in his life that it's beginning to get harder to write "terrible" lyircs. I can see it happening and I don't think it would be really bad, although if they end up doing more than 1 album with happy love stuff it's gonna be bad for the band I think.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: JetBlack944 on September 18, 2005, 12:40:03 AM
I think that a happy HIM could be cool. Where the lyrics are about love instead of heartbreak. I think Ville could do it, he'd have to do it just right, but he could.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III

The promos are watermarked. Whoever gave it to him will get in serious trouble if they show up on the internet. Plus, only 2 days and you can hear it on HotTopic.com. (Personally, I'm waiting to hear it CD quality when I buy it.)

Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: JetBlack944 on September 18, 2005, 07:31:57 PM
Yea, I don't think anyones going to not buy it. For me it's more of an issue of 'We've waited months upon months for this album, and then 9 days before it comes out, we break down and download a not-as-good-of-quality version from the Internet?' The only way I'd download an album before release is if it's months off, or if I won't be able to buy the album for a while because I'm low on cash.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Loves_Blade on September 18, 2005, 07:36:44 PM
Yeah, but for those people that want to wait they can. I would still post it up for those who wanted it.

I can't wait to hear it even if it's only 2 days, for me it's like a movie that I can watch the trailer over and over but I have to wait till it comes out on DVD to watch it because watching it in movie theatres would be like listening to a leaked version of the album. not to mention movie theatre quality is poor, but always better than waiting several months.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III

It doesn't really matter what people post when it leaks.  If people really wanna wait then they will.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Inferno on September 19, 2005, 12:09:29 AM
No one ever really wants to wait. They'll wait to have the CD in their hands but not to listen to the songs. Heck, almost everyone who said that they could wait and were gonna wait are the ones asking for the songs that have been leaked, why can't everyone just be honest and admit that if a song were leaked early they would at least listen to it, whatever they do with the song afterwards is their business.

One of the reasons why TG and V(IOB) were taken off of Dark Light was that they wanted the album to be a bit more edgy and those songs were a little too much like "basic midtempo HIM", according to Ville. So personally I'm not expecting to hear anything mindblowing but who knows, we'll see.

Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: ForAllTid on September 19, 2005, 06:15:05 PM
alright i cracked i listend to the whole album today. Overall i think Dark Light gets a 9/10. Not perfect but still good. The only song that i actually dislike is behind the crimson door. No, i actually do not dislike it, it's just ok. You have all these great songs then this comes up. whatever. In my opinion KL is the new Join Me. I didnt think In the nighside of eden lived up to its hype about being all epic and crazy. Great song but not totally mind blowing, though it does have a cool heavy guitar riff near the end.

Stand out tracks

Killing Loneliness
Vampire Heart
Under the Rose
Drunk On Shadows
Nightside of Eden

Now i just have to wait to hear the bonus songs.

EDIT I was expecting the outros to be way better. That was a slight let down

don't say, why say something bad if you don't have anything good to say, its an opinion, which is what board discussions are about -- people discussing their opinions, its not fact.

in the nightside of eden -- voice filtered again (phased for effect, whatever), but its not ville's voice anymore; at the middle there's the terrible metal scream and the metal guitar, repetitive

play dead -- its wrought, he's acting not singing, too slow and trying to be dramatic, weak chorus

drunk on shadows -- silly title

the face of god -- wrought, typical lyrics, all sounds like ozzy (if he could sing like ville, or if ville could sing like himself, or if ville  can sing without autotune) trying to be arty

where is the zeal of linde's guitar, its gone.

behind the crimson door -- pretty in the beginning, then his "new" voice goes flat

can ville say "fire' and "world" any more american? or daggerrrrrrrrrs?

they are all the same, you can count exactly when the first verse will start, then four-eight short verse, then chorus, repeat

the guitars don't soar anymore, they grind

dark light -- dull

killing loneliness -- why are the guitars kicked back so far in the beginning, live was much, much better

ville's doctored (tweaked) voice sounds like he's on medication

under the rose -- says nothing

rip out the wings of a butterfly -- still the hit because of linde

vampire heart -- silly title, sounds like horror movie, and old like a gothic band

and "poison heart" -- way, way, way better acoustic!!!

I agree with 90% percent of that. One big thing is the guitar. It's bad on the whole album except for a track here or there.

I think the lyrics are great...but sometimes I think they could be better.

Like in Face of God one of the first lines is  "To be engraved on the stone of my grave"  That doesn't sound right...he should have changed engraved to carved or something like that.

Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Pure Fing Sweetness on September 19, 2005, 09:32:30 PM
Because the vocals are more prominent on this album then previous ones, the lyrics just stand out more. It seems that a lot of these lyrics are just getting kinda cheesy or emo-esk. I'm liking KL and BTCD, but over all i'm feeling pretty, "eh, I'll listen to it, but I wouldn't play it over and over again" like I've done with RR and LM. It just seems like they have changed a lot since, well even ALSN.

And you are totally right about his accent. Because he has lost so much of it, words are coming out harsher making them more noticable and less melodic.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Beautiful666 on September 19, 2005, 09:33:10 PM
Maybe this is wrong for me to think but the whole album either sounds boring or like pop rock and I just dont like it. I cant relate to any of the lyrics and the whole album just sounds so diffrent than other albums which is good but I miss that comfort of knowing what I should expect. Again I'm probably wrong to think all this but it's what I feel. I'd give the album 7/10.

Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Amourder on September 20, 2005, 11:01:35 AM
Haunting.

That's my first impression, after a first complete listening to Dark Light.
This album is fucking wicked.
HIM used to be all dark and gloomy, but listening to it used to make you happy. Katharctic music. Listening to someone else's pain made it easier for you to deal with your own.
Dark Light, on the other hand, seems really positive and happy. At least the choruses do. But it's got an undertone of awaiting doom. It's like a subliminal thing. It makes you feel creepy.
More than to a soundtrack, I'd compare it to a movie. A dark one. Something like Mulholland Drive, for example. A lot of fancy icing on the cake, but still you get this funny feeling in your gut, that maybe it isn't such a good idea to eat that cake...

It's going to take me a few listenings before I really get into this album. But I can already say that I'm gonna love it. It's hard core love metal, that's what it is... It's a mindtrip into those wastelands of your mind, where you're in love and miserable at the same time.

Musically, it seems pretty fucking amazing to me. A coherent continuum from the first note to the last. A lot there to be discovered. The ambient is overwhelming.

It is definitely a crossroad in their career. It's not easy-to-relate-with simple songs of love and death anymore. Now it's more like  something went wrong in your mind and you cannot tell death from love or love from death anymore...

It's beautiful. It's stunning. It's a mindfuck.

10/10

i find the cd, nothing like what i expected. kinda disappointed. ie Dark Light sounds like a Hymn song you sing at a church, and the rest don't compare to DSBH. everyone just think it's great because they are expecting it to be good. im really disappointed...i thought theyd sing about something different, but i was wrong  devils, his soul, darkness, depression,etc... take my hand/life, nothing wows me. at least in the other cd's have variation in guitar and drums, this all sounds the same. i still love love metal and the before stuff but not this cd. i think they tried to hit the 13-16 year old girl range. now a true fan honestly tell me their review, i know a lot of people that liked him for the past year will differ but if you listended to him from the beginning youd understand.
it is definitely not "hard core love metal". and making you happy is also known as Emo. everyone can say they've been heartbroken, so HIM sings about that and that is how they sell records, its called marketing,  but this is a review of the album which i have to say( as being a fan from the beginning)  a complete disappointment. a boo hoo instead of a woo hoo

I've only listened to HIM since 1997, so you're right, I have no clue. But I appreciate your review after half a listening. Must  be that all of the critics and journalists are wrong and you are right.

If you want Love Metal, listen to Love Metal. If you want Join Me In Death, listen to Join Me In Death.

Anyway, I'd recommend you to listen to the album like 10 times more before you come and talk shit about it. It's a complex album, you won't get it after one listening or two.

By the way, you didn't seem to understand what I was saying about "music that makes you happy".

Vampire Heart, Killing Loneliness, ROTWOAB, Play Dead and Nightside of Eden are all amazing songs. The rest of them I need to listen a few times more.

And another thing: this record is not about feeling heartbroken. Those were all the previous ones. This is about being in love and the world going to hell. Did you check out the lyrics on The Nightside of Eden? Post-apocalyptic visions, anyone?

I think that the album is centered around Burton's keyboard playing than anything.  You could never hear him playing usually on the previous album.

I love the album, well i still need to hear nightside of eden and the two bonus tracks.  I love all the songs i heard pretty muchI listened to them over and over again and they're allways stuck in my head.  Like i said before i don't think they ever made one bad song and all they're albums are diff, so that's why i believe they are teh best band ever.  but that's my thought.

I like Vampire Heart, WOAB, Under The Rose, Killing Loneliness, Behind The Crimson Door, The Face Of God, and Drunk On Shadows .  Need to hear the songs i didn't hear yet.   Don't like play dead and dark light that much at this point.

Aren't they planning to release Dark Light as a single? From what I've heard it doesn't sound too good.
Also, to the people that got it, what shipping did you choose?

It really is not very good. I think Ville was on about it for a christmas release.

I think it's one of HIM's worst songs.

it's good to know that some fans can be honest and let everyone know what they think. and agree, instead of liking every song just because it is a new HIM song

I felt that Venus (In Our Blood) was a nice change of pace for the album. I liked the tracks a lot. The only track that I'm not a fan of is Behind the Crimson Door. The rest are nice.

remember dude it's comming from the states.

question

am i the only one who hasnt heard the streamed songs at all?

if i have waited this long might as well wait it out til tuesday.

and i heard something about the Internet only edition limited to 20,000 copies i think that's a bunch of BS dont you guys and gals think that if it was limited to that ammount WB would have taken the pre order page down already?

I haven't listened yet either.  Hopefully my fan edition comes soon though.  Reading all the reviews makes me want to check it out.

I agree with you on the 20,000 copies.  I would think that not many would be left by now.

No, I haven't listened.

It could be down to 20,000. I mean, the people on the forums are some of the most die-hard HIM fans, that's why we're on the forums, and plenty of us have said we haven't ordered it. There's just lots of HIM fans that like the music but won't pay that extra money for that, or don't even know it exists.

But I don't really have an opinion on if it's 20,000 or not, just saying that I think they're a possibility.

yeah with all these idiots ordering 2 copies and shit fuck i know some kid that order 10 fucking copies wtf is that all about i dont think it's 20,000 maybe its going to be the same way as the ALSN vinyl boxset where they only had certain amount numbered and then the rest werent

I don't think Warner is like BMG, they might actually keep it limited. Maybe there is 20,000 to Record store and 20,000 to Warners site also.

well they said it would take about 5 days to arrive so i'm hoping it'll be here by sunday.

Tomorrow is the DL-day here in Finland. I guess that means a trip to the record store for Province, me and a bunch of other people.

Funny. The expectations built for this album are beyond anything I've ever experienced. And I already know what it looks like, and have listened to the streams over and over... but still, tomorrow's the day!
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Amourder on September 22, 2005, 01:39:11 PM
Sure, Jen! I'm buying the limited edition.

I just found out that to properly enjoy the song "Dark Light", all you have to do is "bang" your head in a Willy Wonka fashion. ::)

And another thing I thought about, is that the silver heartagram with "Dark Light" written in Ville's handwriting, must be the printed shrinkwrap that Bam talked about. Ripping that thing off you'd reveal the building, which is the proper cover. What do you think?

Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Dark_secret_lovr on September 22, 2005, 01:51:44 PM
ill be doing the same jenx if for some reason Amourder cant post the stuff ill do it. also i think i might get it on monday as the target by my house closes at midnight and they start selling the dvd's and cd's that are usually released on tuesday monday night at midnight so i might do that. did any of that make any sence?
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Amourder on September 22, 2005, 02:19:27 PM
Tonight I gave myself permission to download a rip of the proper album, in "alt preset extreme" quality. I think it's quite reasonable, as I'm buying both the street limited edition and the internet limited edition... Just couldn't wait until tomorrow. And I must say, I think this is my favorite HIM album. But enough about that... My fiftieth post! Karma time!  :-*

And Jen, I'll try to post some pics.

I didn't order 2 intentionally.  I went to order it and at first I couldn't find UK or GB as an option for country so I came out and never went thru with the order.  I went back later tht night and went thru the same process of selecting 1 copy again and found GB as an option so I went thru with the order but it must've remebered the one I had selected the first time round - only i didn't notice til I had went thru with the payment.  Oops!!

Now I have time to think about it I quite like the idea of keeping one unopened as a collectors item  ;D

Hi guys... I know I told JenX I'd post some pics of the limited edition, as the album came out today in Finland. But there is no finnish limited edition. At least not yet. They told me that there is maybe going to be a very limited edition maybe within a month, or so, but at the moment they're only selling the average jewel case cd here in Finland. Sorry!

Looking forward to my internet edition now... :(

that makes me sad. i guess i'll have to buy the original version as well. :-[

The tin is the case. There is no actual jewelcase, if that's what you're talking about.

yeah the little round thing the cd snaps onto is in the case.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: bigbadbowzer on September 24, 2005, 02:05:58 AM
the heartagram light is the shit, but i will probably buy regular version for the real case and album insert and what not.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: last resurrection on September 24, 2005, 02:24:22 AM
oh. well, i'll buy the regular version as well. i like to keep my cds in their albums and i'm certainly not carrying around that tin box just to hear the cd.

about the light(to those who have gotten their cds), is the beam strong?
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: bigbadbowzer on September 24, 2005, 02:28:07 AM
suprisingly it is pretty strong
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Ikkunaprinsessa on September 24, 2005, 02:48:11 AM
The light is pretty strong but the button is shitty. It will just start to flicker unless you hold it down hard. At least on mine.

i got an email last night from recordstore.co.uk saying:

Dear HIM Customer,

Thank you for your recent order for the new HIM album, Dark Light
Limited CD Box Set.

The good news is that as this item has now sold out it means you are
one of the lucky ones who will receive this highly collectable
product.

The bad news is that we have just been informed by Warner Music UK
that the release date of the limited editions have been put back by
one week to October 3rd.

Apparently there have been manufacturing problems that have held up
the production of both the limited edition on-line exclusive box set
and limited edition digipack.

Once the stock has arrived with us, you will receive a further email
letting you know that your order has been processed and the order
will ship shortly afterwards.

Thank you for your patience and once again our sincerest apologies. 
If you do have any further questions, please feel free to contact us.

oh poo :'(

why don't you just buy an empty jewelcase instead of buying the album again.

I was wondering, is it only fans in the USA who have the ltd tin already?


i got mine, I'm in little ol' England.

i really like this picture from the booklet:

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/robertzombie/DARK%20LIGHT/HIM-DarkLightTinBookletAlternateCov.jpg)

the album is very Deep Shadows, I think it'll take more than one listening to get used to it, but i am in no way disappointed, top job once again.

lol, the end to ITNOE is a bit demonic. hmmm I'll get on reversing the intro the Venus.

here is the intro to Venus (I've reversed it).

the child says "where are we going daddy?" you never know, it could be Linde's daughter saying it.

Wow, I've been listening to Dark Light since I got it, so good.  Some of my thoughts about hearing these songs for the first time:

Under The Rose is the standout track for me, amazing.

When I first listened to Killing Loneliness, I thought it was Still Waters Run Deep by the 69 Eyes.  Same keyboard intro.

What's up with the track Dark Light?  Not very good. :(

Ville's vocals in The Nightside Of Eden are impressive.

i have to disagree with you there, i think dark light is the track that stands out to me, its so melow, dramatic and yet heavy, its a beautiful track and i think it should be there last single from the album.

So I guess I will just buy the regular cd tomorrow.
And hopefully my tin will arrive too.

(http://i14.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/f5/58/98_1_sbl.JPG)

Amazing CD/DVD set of Wings of a butterfly by H*I*M.  Stunning pr*motional item this as it comes in a long die cut gatefold card sleeve with the pr*mo 1 track cd single and DVD single of Wings of a butterfly, the new single taken from the forthcoming Dark Light album.  The front of the case has the H*I*M symbol die cut image and written track title, reverse has a short bio about the new album!! A fantastic and unique item and surely a must for all you H*I*M fans out there!! - Ebay

How over the top can the production of loads formatt's of the single's and the albums get? its kool in one way but annoying in another.

Aw of course get the Americans to import the German version, then release it here after everyone spent 30 bucks on it from Germany.  And then collectors would have to rebuy the American Version.

On heartagram they mention that the Limited Edition will come in a "hardback cover with a booklet containing special artwork and handwritten lyrics by Ville."  I'm assuming that its the same thing that came with the Internet one.  Looks like I won't be picking this one up.

Sorry if nobody cares, but this is the first time listening to any of the songs on the cd.  I think it is pretty good, but it will take a while to grow on me (at least a few of the songs).

My favorites just from the first listen are Vampire Heart, Killing Loneliness, Drunk on Shadows, Face of God, Play Dead, and the bonus tracks.

The other ones especially Dark Light might grow on me.

I don't seem to like Under the Rose as much as other people, I do like it just not love it.

2 things that just came to mind about this CD.

1. Outros. I felt as if this Cd actually was of an more Intro Cd than outros as said before. Unless the intros are easier to notice than the outros or whatever.

2. Guitar solo. Linde was slacking. im sad. Under the rose had a pretty good solo but, i felt as if there could have been more especially in drunk on shadows.

so yeah thoughts come random to me once and a while.

True.  With all the talk of outros, I didn't really notice anything, just In The Nightside of Eden.

And I think that the line "To be engraved on the stone of my grave" in Face Of God sounds awkward, but I love the song. :)

They're getting in 17 copies (was only 7 but I made them order more), but the truck is 4 days late because of the Hurricane. And my Internet-Only isn't here yet either. [/bitching]

Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: JetBlack944 on September 27, 2005, 12:16:44 PM
Back when Dark Light first showed up on the Hastings computer, my girlfriend and I ordered 1 regular edition each, and 1 limited each. A few weeks later when the computer showed how many they were getting, it was 5 regular and 2 limited. (So we may not have gotten any limited if we hadn't ordered some.) But since the CD store is letting us hold a Listening Party there, I had them order 10 more copies. Probably all regular editions, but I'm not sure.

I forgot to say earlier... when I was in town today I went to Virgin, and they are selling a black HIM pencil case thing. It's got HIM in gold on one side and the heartagram on the other. It's all official and even has a HIM material label.


is it a rectangle pencil case or is it a long cylinder pencil case? how much was it? where abouts was it? the clothing section or the CD section or somewhere else?

Post by: alterego on September 27, 2005, 02:50:37 PM
ok, i just got back with the LE...

i don't have a scanner so please don't ask.  you will make me feel dumb for not having a scanner...

ok, the wherehouse didn't get their shipment of either of the editions in, so i had to bus it to hot topic.

hot topic had it on sale for about 25 bux, with the regular one costing like 15 i think.  the regular edition has black phsiphane (sp) wrapping with a gold heartagram on it.

the LE is about 5x7, with the cover we've been seeing everywhere.  the writing "Dark Light" is transparent so you can't really see it unless you hold it up to the light.  the black band around it is well, a black band with a gold heartagram, and on the back of it is the track listing.  the book houses the cd, so there is no extra case.  (like the IE i think??)  the 24 page book is nothing but hand written lyrics, and the one pic we've already seen in the middle.  (the one from the regular cd)

the bonus song is The Cage.

thats about all i can think of writing, i've been too busy typing this and haven't even put the cd on yet!!

edit- the cd itself is different than the IE, its got a building on the side and the track listing on the other side

All Target's will carry the regular edition of Dark Light. None will carry the LE. This is company wide. I work for Target, and I've seen the planograms sent out company wide (via our intranet web site). Some stores will have it on a display, and others will not, but all will carry it. If you cannot find it, ask for it by DPCI, 012-06-0848. The team members will know what that number means.

I work for Target, and I've seen the planograms sent out company wide (via our intranet web site). Some stores will have it on a display, and others will not, but all will carry it. If you cannot find it, ask for it by DPCI, 012-06-0848. The team members will know what that number means.


I went to Target and they didn't have it.  But it's on Target's website, if I'm not mistaken ???

wtf best buy doesnt have it? then why does the one in west hollywood have it? a friend of mine that works there said they got them sunday night he just called me a few mins ago
We had some shipping issues, as did Best Buy.

Post by: Daedalus on September 27, 2005, 04:06:44 PM
Many Best Buy's have them. Mine did, it's where I bought my regular edition. They didnt have the LE's yet though. 27 on the way, but not till later in the week, due to a shipping error, and I've heard a few people online complain of the same thing.

All my local shops have said that the LE has been placed on backorder and they don't know when it will be in.  They also just got a few of the regular editions, because of shipping problems.

i went to target and best buy today aswell. target didnt have any sign that they had it. in bestbuy they had all the 4 of the cds under the HIM tag but then behind the HIM tag they had a tag that said HIM dark light but yet no dark light cds. i looked at the new releases of the day and no Dark light. Having my phone jacked and then going to two stores to find that they didnt have dark light made me even madder.

It says pocketwatch under it on the Store site.

When you click on "Buy regular edition" it takes you to this:

Which is $15.98, the same price they are advertising the CD and Dvd  set for.

Yeah but there's no details yet for that cd/dvd set - hoping that gets a UK release too.

The pocketwatch looks good to me, since I don't wear a watch, it'd be quite handy.

just got this...

Hello my darlings, The hour is here - our album Dark Light is in stores today.  The months leading up to the day have been wonderful and we appreciate your love and support.  See you soon, my lovelys.   - Ville

Now that Dark Light is upon us, we want to make sure you can find it.  While we know that HIM is an amazing band, some of your music stores aren't so enlightened.  When you go to pick up the CD this week, let us know if your local store isn't carrying it.

There is a limited number of Heartagram shrink-wrapped CD's as well as special editions available.  If you're a die hard Heartagram Team member, you may even want to purchase an extra one to preserve the limited shrink wrapped copy.  Either way, make sure you have your Dark Light today.

...I don't agree - I had no expectations for this cd, apart from hoping it wouldn't be like any of the other records - I wanted to hear something new from HIM.
And Dark Light has fulfilled that aspect for me. I think the album is very layered and different, everything in a good way.

See this was a problem since this Album was SOO hyped up, everyone was expecting something totally new and heavier sound ( or at least i did). I didnt think DL lived up to the hype at ALL. Yes i think DL is a great Cd probably will become my fav, it's just that expectations were too high for this and people will probably be upset over that.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Venus In Our Blood on September 27, 2005, 09:45:47 PM
Yeah, but just because it was hyped up, doesn't mean the places said it would be heavier.  People assumed it would be heavier because of just a few things Ville said months before the album came out, and probably because Love Metal as so much different than DS&BH

exacly my point. im just pissed off that HIM made a "emo" cd, thats what i get out of it, and i feel they sold out plus, they couldnt even make a show in my hometown for shitsakes, but about the album, it sucks, ill just continue listening to my old HIM cd's... alos it pisses me off that they have to make soo many different cd's of the same cd. its all about the money now, since they signed with sire, i dont see him being around for long

So...how many copies sold, does "platinum" mean in Finland?
 
And does anybody know the way it works in the US?  How many for Gold? Platinum?

Anyone wanna predict where "Dark Light" will be in the US charts in a week?

Post by: ForAllTid on September 28, 2005, 10:30:46 AM
well for platnium in Finland isn't that much, it's like 200,000 copies or something like that. America is much more.

I think Dark Light will probably end up in the top 20's or 30's.

50 millionth place LOL just kidding seing as how the people at HT are saying that they sold over 200 copies a day of both LE and shrink wrap edition im guessing it will do good . iforgot how many copies you have to sell to go gold i think it's over 100,000 bot 100% sure though and for platinum i think it's around 500,000 copies
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Thulsa Doom on September 28, 2005, 10:47:44 AM
I'm pretty sure it's (in the US):

Platinum album - 1,000,000

Post by: JetBlack944 on September 29, 2005, 11:31:38 AM
Something I noticed on the Album:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on all the albums, it's always been only Ville doing vocals. And most casual HIM listeners view it as Ville and Co. Ville and his backup band. I think that using Migé and the others on backing vocals and such, and also the long instrumental outros, are an attempt to bring the rest of the band forward and make them more noticable than just Ville. Especially since they're breaking the American market.

Just my opinion.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Dark_secret_lovr on September 29, 2005, 11:35:32 AM
mige and burton have done back up vocals before IE Join me and burried alive by love
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: JetBlack944 on September 29, 2005, 11:37:45 AM
Okay, I didn't feel like checking. But still, Migé's backing vocals are alot noticable and more numerous on this album. And of course they had everyone in 'In the Nightside of Eden.'

"Well we want to make HIM our top priority, sure Madonna is number one than HIM".

So guess what is coming up?
(http://cover6.cduniverse.com/CDUCoverArt/Music/Large/6974022.jpg)

Yup gay disco ballin' is back.
So that will tell you what to expect.

Also on Monday for certain people you can pick up your albums already (here in America). As mentioned already HIM have chosen the new single (Yeah, "HIM" that's what we will call the label from now on).

As for the Riff sounding too much like other bands, the answer is No. The structure may sound the same; but the Musical Notes are off.

Expect some new stuff from your exclusive store once again.

Don't know about the riff, but the Killing Loneliness arpeggio sounds to me like the Join Me arpeggio, lacking two notes in the middle, and in a different key. ???

BTW, WTF happened to Madonna's right leg?  ???
And is that really the only good angle she's got left?  ???

Madonna should duet with Ville.  ???

I just thought of something super random.  Well, you know how sometimes Ville takes some words from Timo K. Mukka's poetry and it is said to be in parts of "The Funeral of Hearts" and "Behind the Crimson Door"?  What if the Finnish talking part in "Behind the Crimson Door" was like saying that part of the lyrics were ripped from Timo K. Mukka's poetry?  That would be waaaaaaay funny...

Sorry if I made absolutely no sense hehe

The Funeral of Hearts thing was Ripped from Charles Baudelaire, he has a book called the Flowers of Evil.

Actually I've understood that the talking part of BTCD is Mukka's text. Don't know from which book, though, or what is he saying.

shrinkwrap is like this: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/octobermoon/him/dlshrink.jpg)
with that on the shrinkwrap and the building cover on the inside, like normal, the special shrinkwrap was only on the first 100,000 copies released in the usa. it is the standard, non-limited, 10-track version.

slipcase is the same but like this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/shaney_b/slipcase.jpg)
the same regular (building) cd, with the 10 tracks, but with the silver heartagram thing printed on a cardboard thing that slips over the cd

limited us:
(http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a337/Villesbutterfly/LE.jpg)
hardbook with a 28 page booklet and the cage for bonus

german digi:
11 tracks including the cage, digipack and a bonus dvd.
it is presumed that the contents of the dvd will include woab video and making of darklight. i cannot verify this as i have not recieved mine, but will post info and pictures when mine arrives.

internet edition:
12 tracks, tin box, laser pointer, and 32 page book, limited to 20,000

I remember the band saying that and thinking 'what the hell, how do you do that with a HIM song and still be awesome?' But they did somehow! And think, if the band pictures that when listening and so many of us do, I'm sure the video they do for it will reflect that. I can't wait... Christmas!

But I really don't care that much.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: mtvsucks on October 06, 2005, 12:19:33 PM
Here's why it sucks:

1. The album is heavily over-produced. Why not make something that's virtually impossible to re-create live? It lacks power, it lacks raw-ness. It lacks that HIM feeling.

2. The sound of it is just shitty. Pop-rock garble to just get onto the charts. They should of just called this 'Love Metal II: Dark Light' - Speaking of 'Dark Light' this song sounds like something I'd hear at a Sunday gathering at Church.

3. There's nothing that stands out at all - lyrically or musically - just bullshit catchy choruses and heavily watered down guitars due to the almighty keyboards.

I try to like this album more and more, but I don't.

Is this good enough for you?

Hey, everyone has their own opinion, I just ask that people know why they have that opinion and you definatly do.

Post count doesnt mean a thing, Anthony can actually see the album for what it is, junk. I dont hate the album but its my least favourite of all 5, it lacks real passion. Also Linde pretty much uses the same effect on his guitar for the whole album. Sounds lame after a few times through.

Only stand out song is "Nightside of eden" just because its so different but still sounds so HIM. Behind the crimson door is crap because of the backing vocals, it ruins the whole song.

Post by: Lori on October 06, 2005, 03:21:50 PM


I was surprised to find that I love every song on Dark Light - over the weeks all have grown on me immensly. Even the track Dark Light, which I wasn't keen on at first, I now think is beautiful.
Now about liking every song: this is not because it's HIM and I am supposed to like everything they do - but simply because I genuinely do LOVE everything about this cd. I think it has an amazing feeling to it - very atmospheric, harmonies/melodies. The whole feel of it takes me off to a world of my own. I have gotten deeper and deeper into this album and it has clicked with me in a big way. I am very impressed. And I even like all the new artwork that has come with it.


I couldn't say it any better myself.   I am head over heels with this album and love it more each time I listen.  It thrills me to bits. 

I was afraid of not liking this album because eventually every band I have ever liked/loved has released an album I didn't like.  Dark Light is not the one - thank heavens.

I'm of the group that enjoys the album. It may not be as punchy as Love Metal, but that's not what I like about HIM. I like the melodic side, and thus DSBH is my favorite album. Dark Light is also very melodic and I like that alot. Granted I do miss some of the guitar that we are all used to, but this is a new album, and the band is going into new territory, trying new things. Some work, some don't.

I totally agree with this hear. It is my least favourite album of theirs also and there are only cirtain trackst that i actually enjoy: Vampire Heart, Nightside Of Eden, Killing Lonliness and Under The Rose.
I thought the rest of the album would grow on me. Yeh some of the other songs are good but they dont match up to HIM's previous material. I'm quite disapointed with the album and I'm pretty much bored with it now. I just hope HIM don't stay sounding like this because it is very boring.

I guess they figured they had to do something that would grab certain Americans attention.  Meaning something  totally different that fans of the "mainstream music" would like.  If  that makes any sense.

i'll admit while i love the hell out of the album, it is my least favorite.  they had to give up quite a bit to become "americanized" and that sucks.
i absolutely hated vampire heart when we first heard it live.  but now, understanding the lyrics, i think its one of the most beautifully written songs they've done.

(but resurrection still owns)

EDIT- just got this

Thank you to all who picked up Dark Light in the pre-order or the first week of release.  Because of you and because of Heartagram Team's dedication through the past few months, Dark Light debuted at #18 in the US on the Billboard Top 200.  This is quite an accomplishment and you deserve to share the glory with the band.

jet black i understand what you mean.

the only thing i hate is ITNSOE  the shitty thing at the end i just laughed. i love the beggining and dark light is a good song in my opinion cuz its not expected when you hear it. i know i expected alot outta it but idk i like it. but since this is my first time i actually followed a HIM cd fully i gues thats why i like it so much.

I think you and your sucky screenname sucks.
Naw, it's not me taking criticism bad, it's this kid coming into a HIM Dark Light thread and just saying 'it sucks' without reason. I think he's doing it just to piss us off. I'm not pissed off, but I just said it back.

I don't mind anyone's criticism as long as they give sound reasoning and give it intelligently.
I hope you realize I don't care who the fuck anyone is or who they used to be.

But I still say, he should give reasoning. I'll never say something sucks for no reason, I may say I don't care for it, but if I hate it, I have a reason.

But then, I just said what I said as a joke and you are getting all pissy about it.
Psch, whatever. I see someone come in with 19 posts and just says it sucks for no reason and I make a lil' comment and you're getting pissy. I don't care if you're mad or not, but you're definatly pissy.

But I really don't care that much.

*ahem* youre not that very bright are you...shush!  >:(


it sucks. i admit that i dont find it as bad as i thought i would but anthony is right..it lacks that "HIM feeling"  :-\

Seriously though, if y'all didn't know that was Anthony or whoever, just some random newbie showed up and made that comment y'all would hate on them.

Really, I don't care if he doesn't like Dark Light, that's his opinion and I respect it and even see where he's coming from. I just didn't like how he said it sucked and didn't even explain why. And I made my lil' comment and everyone started getting upset.

i got Dark Light yesterday. im gonna have to listen to it a lot more before i can make judgement on it, but i like the first 4 songs a lot.

Dark Light (the song) is a bit crap. the verse is quite rockin, but the chorus is just well.... shite.

other than that im liking it so far.

oh and i got the box set thing off of recordstore.com. pretty darn groovy if i may say so.

The funniest thing about all this to me is, most people don't even believe I'm from Texas when they hear me talk. Most think I'm from Europe or something, I have no trace of a Texas accent.

I talked to my Theater teacher who knows alot about accents and she says I speak in 'American Standard' which is pretty much the accent around Kansas, central US.

Awesome, I'll make sure to do that. I've downloaded the 'Twin Peaks' Season 1 Soundtrack and I watched 'Mulholland Drive'. I'm looking for 'Lost Highway' but can't find it for rent.

Since you listen to Badalamenti, do you hear his influence on Dark Light?
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: NEGATIVE nancy (freewm3) on October 17, 2005, 11:48:14 PM
Yes defintialy. the songs i think most have it are the little interludes between songs (the outro and intro things) and drunk on shadows pulls it off in the songs its self

lost highway is only availiable on VHS so youll have trouble, it said its comming out on DVD but ive heard that for 3 years.

would you mind sending me the twin peaks soundtrack? that would rock

Anyone here listen to Angelo Badalamenti?


Badalamenti was famously known more through the project he did with David Lynch (that was the first part that got Ville hooked on him), he worked with him scoring the Soundtrack "Lost Highway".
Marilyn Manson has since learned alot on how to do this sort of material thanks to him and has been a close friend of him since.
Badalamenti also plans to release future unreleased material, so far I have waited nearly three years for that project to arrive.

Nancy, I own the Sountracks to his work plus unreleased material in Acetate material as well. The DVD Lost Highway has only been released in  Canada so dont expect it soon to be in America. What you can do is either go to Amoeba Records and purchase his import material for 8 dollars or the DVD for 12.
I bought one off ebay for 10, it is rather easy to come around.

If you want to see strange and yet interesting movies I recommend "Begotten". There is no way Movies like that come around that often, it is watching the wreckage of Lord of the Flies with a World Gone completely mad (with Steroids!). :P

Marilyn Manson

Avenged Sevenfold
 
100 votes
 

Nine Inch Nails

i called that shit thank you, i told someone (i can't remember who though??) that i'd bet a million dollars that the album cover was that building with the heartagram on it.  fuck i'm good.  (no, just lucky :P )

Yea, as for that poll, I voted Manson because I haven't really listened to any of the other groups yet. But I'd like to see a MCR-HIM tour from what I've heard of them. HIM would not go well with Manson at all.

yes, i must agree with jose, all the new songs kicked ass live, but what got to me was when the entire audience started screaming when wings of a butterfly came on, i mean, louder than all the other songs people were screaming at.  the dumb ass preppies sitting next to me at the show said something really stupid too.  when BTCD came on, they started shouting, "yeah, this one is WOAB!  WOOOOO"

Just to add more confusion into the DL Internet Tin discussion...
...look at the page linked below. They also seem to be confused as to which version they are selling. And also seem to think they are the only people selling it ;)

What version am I? ([url]http://www.jackassdvd.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=2071[/url])

That is infact the Limited Edition. But they were too lazy (or stupid) to realize that it might cause more confusion to leave the Tin Edition there.
All they did was take off (in a bad photoshop way) "Venus (In Our Blood)". So if people dont catch that mistake Warner is going to be in even further problems than it already is for the DVD release mistake they offered. Just stay tune for that.
Still, people are going to be greatly disappointed.

That's basically it.  Japanese CDs are very expensive and cheaper imports are also available.  The bonus tracks are added to lure in buyers.

i've been listening to venus (in our blood) a ton lately, i love it, probly my 2nd favorite song on the album (why didn't they release that song with the regular cd, people are missing out) and it sorta reminds me of a gospel song. i'm not talking about the lyrics, but the chorus, the way it's sung sound strangely gospel like to me... maybe i'm just dumb though, great song.

I've only ever bought one Japanese album, and that was "Devils" by The 69 Eyes.

I doubt very much I'll spend $50 (I think that was the price) for just Poison Heart. Especially since Venus (IOB) and The Cage aren't on there. I probably would if those had been featured however.

Post by: Bender Bending R. on November 15, 2005, 08:13:08 AM
artwork is the same than the all dl jewelcase editions, from have the building too but i didnt do the pic because we already now, the lyrics on the booklet are printed (not handwritten) and the quality its very good is a glossy paper
there is a bonustrack, but is not listed on the slipcase, cd,  or back cover, just on the white japanese booklet, but the poison heart as bonustrack is there
i think this could be because says that limited edition with bonustrack will be the first version that will be replaced later with another, probably without the bonustrack

this cd and the and love japanese edition (bmg japan release it the same day that warner do with the dl) are listed on the hmv japanese site, that have a english version too and accept creditcards, its the more cheap site that i found it
but i bought from a seller that i found in google that accept paypal in 20$ plus 8$ in registered airmail postage (PM if you want the link of the seller, or i can post it here too)

I don't know, but I see on the left menu, the names Marianne Weber, Jan Vayne, Prinses Christine, Sander van Marion, all Dutch persons.
So I guess it is Holland import, or from another country to Holland to the seller


The LP looks normal, and as far I know, there isn't a special Dutch Dark Light LP version

Post by: Bender Bending R. on November 24, 2005, 11:48:23 AM
i really dont know if will be a dark light lp or not, that towerrecord shop doesnt have it to preorder (as before had) and the shop where i was thinking to preorder (that also told me dec 6 as date) doesnt have it too
link-records and a lot of european shops have it listed but as import from USA so maybe is not on the catalog of future releases, we will see what will happend

Yes all the songs would fit on one "disk." But its usually higher quality to only put 4 songs on one side. So thats what would make it a double lp. Lots of bands do this, Audioslave, Dimmu Borgir just to name a few. And plus its just cool to get two records instead of one.

DL dropped to nearly 175...to shoot back up like that for no apparent reason is amazing. Keep in mind, the KL video has yet to be aired on any U.S. channels. I bet that DL goes higher up at that point. It's just like My Chemical Romance. When their last CD first came out it wasn't too popular, but after a few months it slowly started going up the charts.
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: robertzombie on January 11, 2006, 04:22:47 PM

Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: Daedalus on January 11, 2006, 04:32:26 PM
I myself have noticed a big jump in sales in the last 3 weeks. I'm in charge of the entertainment department at my Target, and we sold 3 copies of Dark Light one day last week. That's impressive for a non "best seller". Now of course I'm sold out and waiting for replenishment. One good sign is we just did our revision of the CD department and Dark Light is still staying there. A lot of poor sellers get pulled, but DL get's another few months at least, unless of course sales really pick up and it becomes a "best seller" according to Target.
By comparison, Razorblade Romance was only around for about 3 months in 2003.

ContactMusic.com is reporting that H.I.M. frontman Ville Valo is unsure if he was raped after being given a date rape drug and robbed in a bar in Minneapolis last October.

But the H.I.M. singer insists it would serve his attacker right if he was sexually assaulted — because he was suffering an uncomfortable condition at the time.

Valo explains, "At that point I had a horrendous case of haemorrhoids — which often happens on tour — so it would have served that particular party right if they had taken their wicked way with me.

"Haemorrhoids and all the evil things that happen in the anal area. That would have been my revenge."

Valo also admitted he is so terrified of sexually predatory groupies, he sometimes wishes he is gay.

Ville is stunned by how forward and liberated female fans are.

He says, "The overt sexuality of groupies shocks me.

"It feels odd that people think they can just sleep with us. We actually think, sometimes, in the band, that it would all be a lot easier if we were all gay because what better than going on stage having just sucked each other off — we'd all be so happy.

"But you know, hairy balls are not really my thing."

Ewww?

Who thinks dark light was a flop.
I think for devoted fans it was a blow to think that a Band could keep some integrity to their Musical roots even if Cash was waved in their face.
Making this album light on its feet and just not giving the impulse as their origin of the band really had much effect for those fans.
Thus creating a commercial envoriment for those new kids who want to be cool so they check out whats new on MTV shit of shows.

I dunno, I think it sounds like anything else HIM. Keep in mind, each CD has had a different sound. This one is a natural progression from "And Love Said No" and "Solitary Man", which were progressions from "Love Metal".  Just listen to each CD in order, Dark Light fits in very well. It's still HIM, it still kicks ass.

It's hard to see, but the discs are a blueish green color, I bet it's similar to the Killing Loneliness vinyl.

Hahaha.
There is still one English Journalist (or so I think he is still one) that Ville was "inspired" from.

Than I wont tell you to read Davinci's Code than.

(In total 5/ 6 different Books were the creation of Dark Light).
There is a passage from the last track (I dont remember what is called). That consist from that Writer as well. Not to be confused completely with this. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0584102062/103-7453422-3507053?v=glance&n=283155)

Sure, it's 09362-49284-16

You know, upon looking at them again, my discs are black too. The little label on it changes color sort of, but the discs are black. I haven't looked at them since I took those pics. What the heck was I smoking? I could swear they looked blue/green. It even shows that way in the pictures!

Last week I received an e-mail saying my order was on back order. So Monday, I went to a record store to see if they had it and of course they did so I bought that. Came home and told Warner Bros to cancel my order. Then Tuesday I get an e-mail saying that "your order was shipped on the 30, Monday." So I guess I will have two.

Another vinyl is to be released at http://www.recordstore.co.uk/him/.

No bonus tracks, so for any collectors it's gonna be a pain in the ass getting another version. Plus, its about half of what I paid for the US version, so thats pretty lame  ???
Title: Re: Dark Light Thread III
Post by: BreakAndEnter on February 19, 2006, 07:45:43 PM
Yeah? Oh well, it was cheaper, but at least another doesn't need to be bought. I didn't check the codes, cause mine is all sealed in a cupboard so it doesn't get wrecked  ;)

Dark Light moved up 10 spots on Billboard this week, from 108 to 98. They sold 49,284 copies. It's also a yellow shaded entry, which means "Records with the greatest airplay and sales gains this week".

As of Tuesday 3/26, Dark Light will be stocked on the "Studio Red" endcap at Target. This is a display for emerging artists and top sellers. This means that DL has sold enough through Target to justify bumping it up to a "best seller" section, despite being 6 months old. That's quite a feat.

dude haha i posted a thread on it, but hey its cause the legislature thinks its anti christian or something so it can offenc people which gives it the  "explicit lyrics" but i think that is a grey area. "join me" was right out in the open, but its meaning was implied i didnt think it refered to romeo and juliet untill 2 years ago and i had the cd for well over a year

It will be interesting to see if they stick with the dark light sound, or the more older sound, 'cos i find dark light very different. I think the change for this album was nescessary, to keep people interested. I know it kept me interested, so more progression would be good.

they will probably go back to something heavier if they want to avoid the "fame" but they will stick to it most likely or switch it up again

one thing that annoys me about HIM is that they can't be classified musically, which leads to alot of people hating them.... are they metal? not really but they are in metal mags, which metal heads hate. are they emo, not really, but metal heads hate emo, and emo people like HIM. there's two strikes, are they goth? not especially, which makes the vampires hate them. it's hard to find a HIM fan that likes the same music as you, and that in itself leads to alot of HIM fans not liking each other.


i didn't know where else to put this so... end of rant.

that still doesn't stop HIM from having a rift in there fan base, it's there and you can sense it at shows, even on here. it's strange how people can like My chemical romance and HIM, and others can hate those because they like slayer and HIM, it seems that this could be a big plus for HIM, but in fact it's almost like there biggest weakness. ville getting bottled at shows can directly be traced back to this.

i bet this next album coming up will do much better than dark light. gold is pretty good, but i read somewhere that dark light met their expectations a while before that even. i think it was just to get more exposure on a big level in the states now alot more people know who they are because of radio play and mtv 2. i think that if this next album is close to any of teh previous albums before dark light it will be huge and take the band to the next level. down side is ticket prices will go up even more  :-\

I think the band wants to hold those ones to heart. I am sure sometime in the (hopfully near) future they will re-do them.

Post by: Thanatos on November 26, 2006, 10:03:40 PM
I don't see the argument in, if they re-released 666WTL, the original's price value would drop. The only people who really seek out copies of it are über fans. I've never ran into a casual fan who's had a copy. Hell, chances are, they don't even know it exists. The discography, to them, consists of: Razorblade Romance and Dark Light. So, I say re-release it. It'll bring in more money. We all know how much money means to record companies. Plus, it'll introduce the casual fans to the rawer side of HIM. If anything, at least they'll become aware of its existance. Knowledge is power. Power is knowledge. Let's write a song and become friends. Over and out.
