...yeah...mine's still not here. Damn slow postal service. My mail doesn't usually show up till near 5pm.

i have a bone to pick with the special edition.
a . its not leather
b. my special edition disc doesnt work in my computer, or cd player. just on my dvd player.
c. the pictures were just printed pictures, not real photos.
d. i dont feel it was worth the 50.00., maybe 30.00 usd

They have said all along that it was "leather style". Which means, not real leather.

one more day until the official release!!

xAndyDollx · « **Reply #81 on:** September 17, 2007, 05:50:19 PM »

yes, the bonus disk.
the normal cd plays fine in my cd player ect.
but the bonus disk will only play in my dvd player, not in anything else.

i need to email warner to see what they can do.

can someone upload some photos of it?

xAndyDollx · « **Reply #83 on:** September 17, 2007, 07:42:21 PM »

i live in lonaconing md, usa

for regular cds i know they dont, code them due to region. bc i order cds from finland and japan all the time.
but its possibly something due to manufactoring.

yea i'm pretty upset about my leather book edition... the photos that come are all blurry and shit. I hate this crap. I feel so violated, and I should only be made to feel that way by jerry or betsy....
I bet everyone got the same 3 blurry photos I did.... $:-\$

Daedalus · « **Reply #87 on:** September 18, 2007, 12:48:56 AM »

Mine were a guitar, a soundboard with clutter and then a creepy one with these weird baby doll heads.
I like the book. It's bigger than the Dark Light book, and it's just plan friggin neat.
Some quick snap shots...
Oh, and this is my first time hearing the bonus tracks...LICB is interesting, but I really like Dead Lovers' Lane!

I am very disappointed in this... I do love the album but this was completely over-priced. It would've been the right price if it were actually leather but it wasn't. Their first description of the edition as changed so much... warner just wants our money.

In all this album isn't worth no more than Dark Light internet edition was. It has less stuff, and less songs... fake Polaroids don't make up for shit. anyways, that's just my 2 cents.

i agree, thats why i feel its only worth 30.00 bc the orginal dicription was when i ordered it, was much different.
it stated leather bound book, and it wasnt leather. there are 1,000,000,000 cows in India. i dontt hink they would have a hard time getting leather.
The pictures. i thought they would have been exclusive. but no, everyone got the same 3 pictures.
Even whats in the book is much of a let down.

the Dark Light tin, was A. Half the price, B. you seemed to get more

i was chatting to my friends about it. he stated i should write Warner Bros, a letter stating, since they only pretty much sent what was half of the discription, they should send half of the money back..lol

but what i am happy with is a new HIM cd that kicks fucking ass.

But seriously fuck Warner Bros. A. They push back the album for an unnessary 2 months. B. Just are a greedy bunch of cunts.

I need a quick answer to this one please...
Coz ONE shop in town has the sepcial edition.

Is it completely different art-wise than the limited?
Is it actually worth me getting, since my limited is on it's way?

if its not to much more then go for it!

The 3 pictures are not all the same... I got different ones than that picture shows. I got the one with the two heads, the desk with all that crap, and a picture of an Owl.

My question is... why couldn't they just fucking add those 3 bonus songs on to the first CD? Makes no sense to waste 2 CDs on 12 songs $:-\$

I didn't really know where to post this, so I'll just put it here since it's VD related.

Apparently Stefan Lindfors (i.e. the director of the FOH video) is now in the process of making some sort of "art clips" for HIM. To loosely quote Lindfors' words -

"The world is now changing in a way that the future generations won't only be watching TV. What it means is that, music promotion and the music video format is about to change. Material is also wanted for websites such as Youtube and Myspace. Warner Brothers has now shown interested in working with me and making artistic illustrations for the band rather than making visuals for a certain song."

To my understanding, they've been filming material already as he spent the weekend in Greece with the band and also flew over to London on Monday.

I, for one, find the news fairly interesting 'cause a) he did a great job with FOH and b) the band seems to be excited about this as well, which isn't always the case with other promo-related projects (or 'projekts' for that matter

).

i ment with the photos that,
everyone got the same 3 photos, the desk, the cherub heads, and the owl.
they way it was worded that it was a real poloroid, not a printed one.

Just a little thing i posted at himclub,it annoys the crap out of me:

Holy crap,they got a 2 on the dice in the norwegian dagbladet newspaper:Dagbladet

But what an fucking idiot. He just start to complain about their concert at Valle Hovin with metallica(Which by the way was GREAT

) Which has noting to do with the record at all. And the says that they managed to a few catchy ballads and radio friendly rock. And this comment is just pathetic:
"Most of the time goes to break thru the heavy material that most likely is Ville Valo`s miserable,hopeless and egotrip life. Believe me, its not worth the effort"

Sorry for the bad translation,but he uses very difficult Norwegian that is hard to translate into english! But this is so typical norwegian music reviewers...Everthing they write is based on their own opinion and not on what they hear

Another tiny point on the normal special edition cover art...

I really like the: VENUS DOOM HIM SIX symbol graphics.

Me too, I like the SE cover better than the painting. But don't get me wrong, the painting is nice too.
