Mainly covers? There are only two covers on that album, dude!

As for the band, I love them. They blew up in the US once Bam Margera announced that they were his favorite band and the greatest band in the world, so automatically the kids jumped on that bandwagon and thus annoying millions of real music fans across the globe. But...if you can ignore a band's fans and focus on the music this band is quite excellent!

I am a bit pissed that I spent so much on imports, though. If I'd know Bam's plan I would have waited to buy all the fucking CDs! :evil: I paid about $30 for each CD except the new one because they weren't available here. Razorblade Romance did get released at one point, but under the band name HER, but at that point I'd had the CD already. Apparently they couldn't acquire the rights to the name HIM over here. That has since changed, obviously.

Anyway, great band. Good, goth-rock with great hooks. Very underrated by real music fans, overrated by 12 year old turds.

Everyone knows Wicked Game and Don't Fear the Reaper. But there's a couple other covers on there that I never heard the origional of, but I was told they were covers of someone, I can't remember who though. tried to find the album credits online, but no luck so I can't tell you which others were covers.

They covered Don't Fear the Reaper? Cool. That's one of the best songs I've ever heard. They can't be all bad if they have that sort of taste.

I didn't like they earlier stuff so much, i liked their beefed up tunes. Buried Alive By Love rocked.

I only have Love Metal but i think its a great album.
Its got some really great tunes even if the lyrics can be a bit lame in my opinion.

Good musicians though and it sounds great cranked up loud...in fact i'm gonna give it a spin now.
