Disco de HIM: “The Single Collection”

This singles collection is great. If you're a fan of HIM you shouldn't even think once about buying this album. It is a perfect box set. It comes with 10 singles all released from "Greatest love songs vol 666" to "Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights"

I've noticed that some reviews are complaining about the 10 cds and not being all on two cds. But this keeps the collection authentic, it's like you have all ten original singles in your hands.

As I said before this is worth your money if you're a fan, and if you're not yet a fan you should buy their studio albums and then buy this collection.

This is probably the single most beautiful collection of singles I have ever seen. They all have amazing cover art, and there are many singles. This collection should have cost around $100 US, but instead it cost around $30 US. Him's music is enchanting and mezmerizing. He is very good live, and these singles show that off nicely. Many of the singles in this pack are limited editions, so that adds to the value. This collection can only be packed how it was, all the different singles on different CDs. It is a true collectors item.

My review of the individual singles:

Heartache every moment: 10/10, many songs, Love the acoustic parts

Poison Girl: 9/10, four songs, 3 live. You can't beat it.

All in all, this is a great Collection not just for DIE-HARD him fans, but for people who truely love this band.

In all honesty, I'm not, by any means, considered a "Goth." I have none of the "traits" or "characteristics" of the Goth "culture."

I DO, however, LOVE Goth music. The melodies. The harmonies. The sheer, natural beauty of the sound. Cruxshadows. HIM. Bella Morte. Some are harsher than others, but just about all Goth music is welcome to me.

H.I.M. captured my ears while I was hanging out at a friend's house and he played me the cover "Wicked Game." I was immediately entranced by and bought Razorblade Romance and Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights right away. That was roughly six months ago and I still listen to them constantly, amidst my other favorite genres of music.

Bottom line is, if you consider yourself a lover of HIM, no matter your choice of culture or background etc., and if you have the money to spend, you should purchase this Collection, as I will within the next 2 minutes. No matter what others' reviews on the matter, do what you think you'll enjoy. Especially follow through with what you KNOW you will enjoy for many months, if not years, to come.

Oh, and I did NOT know that Bam Margera's favorite band was HIM until a few months after I purchased the albums. I was quite shocked, actually, because I love the show and have never noticed Ville Valo make any cameos. So my rating is not biased towards the show, or anyone else's opinion. HIM is just enchanting music. End of story.

*buys the collection*

This singles collection is necessary for every H.I.M. fan. With this collection you get many song that are on other albums, many b-side songs, then a lot of remixes, acoustic versions and live performances of a great goth-rock music sung by a great singer Ville. You can hear their best songs, with themes such as love, joy, sorrow, pain,..., which are typical for H.I.M.

I consider myself a big fan of HIM, and I have all their albums, so I had to get this too. I did. It features (almost) all of the singles released from "Greatest Love Songs, Vol. 666" to "Deep Shadows & Brilliant Highlights", which is very cool. It has many previously released tracks, as well as b-sides, demos (such as "I've Crossed Oceans of Wine to Find You" is a demo of "Resercetion"), remixes (although some remixes are almost identical to the originals, such as the "Wicked Game (666 Remix)", in which the only noticable difference is a drum whack at the very beginning...), live tracks, and more. Now, if you can get if cheaper than what this website is selling for, it's a good deal. I bought it used from Amazon.com for..., which is a great deal. My only complaint: that the 40-something tracks are spanned over 10 CDs. Now, I know that they are previously released singles and this is how they used to be as well, but it'd be a lot easier to get out if they could maybe put 2, maybe even 3 singles onto one CD? I mean, most CDs can hold 80 minutes after all. Anyway, if you can find a way to ignore that, this is well-worth it if you're a HIM fanatic.
