Why hide from the sun when you sound this good?.......2006-11-13

As a fan of the Rasmus since their first American release (Dead Letters), I can say that after hearing their earlier stuff (Into, and Peep, not Playboys however), Hide From the Sun easily earns the title of "Best Rasmus Album" in my collection. Lauri's voice is top notch, the music is loud, every song sounds carefully written to perfection, and having five amazing bonus tracks (specifically the slow version of "Open my Eyes" and "Dancer in the Dark") doesn't hurt either. For me, this album's highlights are "Night After Night", "Immortal", "Sail Away", and "Last Generation". The only complaint I have about this album is, since "Don't Let Go" is the closing track, it fails to really take off (Despite the powerful chorus and amazing vocals by Lauri) and it feels incomplete by the end. The lyrics of the album all make sense when played over the music, and if I didn't know the Rasmus were Finnish, I would have never guessed English was not their first language. If you want to hear an album that should have won a grammy in 2005, then pick this one up.

Four Fabulous Finns.......2006-05-31

After hearing “Sail Away” by this Finnish group, this album was a must-have for me. Fans of pop rock, goth and/or ‘80s “monster” rock will love this album, and I still can’t believe that it took me until album number six to find this group. (Their first album “Peep” was released in 1996.)

First single “No Fear” is a morbid little track which seems to be about someone dying, with lyrics like “Your final journey's just begun / your destiny chose the reaper”, but lead singer Lauri Johannes Ylönen’s haunting vocals make it well worth a listen. Second single “Sail Away” also seems to be about someone dying and/or leaving a loved one behind, while in the third single “Shot” he’s ready to die for the one he loves.

Changing from the somber theme just a bit, “Night After Night (Out of the Shadows)” is an excellent track with a catchy chorus, and is about salvation – “Guardian of my dreams / Watching me when I sleep / Like an angel you came / Every time when I screamed”

Other tracks to note are “Lucifer’s Angel”, “Last Generation” (song about a bright light vaporizing life on earth); “Dead Promises” (source of the album title); “Keep Your Heart Broken” (great chorus); and “Heart of Misery,” but they’re all pretty good.

Keep an eye out for The Rasmus when next you’re searching for great music from Europe. (4.5 stars)

Amazing.......2006-04-03

A really amazing album every song is great but here's my song by song review

Shot: An obvious choice for third single and one of my favorites really romantic lyrics that really tell a story and amazingly electronic guitar riff.

Night After Night: A great song again an awesome guitar/bass blend. The lyrics are really gothy and dark " Every night I wake up crying cause I feel like dying" really well crafted pre-chorus also.

No Fear: Obviously the first single. I at first didn't like it much because it was to commercial and poppy but then i totally got into it. The lyrics are built upon a good idea but they are weak.

Lucifer's Angel: My personal favorite of the album, awesome guitar riff and the bass and drums also hold it up really good. The lyrics are also amazing and I wouldn't be surprised if some stupid orthodox Christian sued the Rasmus for this!

Last Generation: Amazing hard rock beggining and pretty catchy chorus but it drags on for a little to long. The "Dust replaced their souls part" is genius.

Dead Promises: Being a big fan of Apocaliptyca this song was an inmediate first listen for me. The cellos are really well arranged and fit in incredibly with the song also incredibly catchy chorus that really makes you think.

Inmortal: I read an interview with them and this seems to be Lauri's and also a lot of fan's favorite song. I don't necessarily agree with this though it is a good song. The chorus doesn't feel right to me for some reason but the lyrics and instrumentation are great.

Sail Away: The Rasmus were wise and chose this as their second single. Its a great ballad about death and leaving those you love behind. I love the violins in the bridge. Its a little too poppy but its still good.

Keep Your Heart Broken: A great and beautiful love song I especially liked it because I can relate to it but you don't care about that XD. Anyways the chorus is beatiful and catchy. Yet again a little too pop but still great. Probably the most beautiful lyrics on the album.

Heart of Misery: In my opinion the weakest song on the album. This song tries a little too hard to be a dramatic goth song. Its good but it doesn't meet the standart witht the rest of the album.

Don't Let Go: Really good ballad but it drags on a little too long. Long ballad. Having something like this at the end of the album is becoming sort of a cliche like Motion City Soundtrack's Hold me Down from Commit This to Memory the only album that I think overpowers this one in 2005 and also Blink-182's I'm Lost Without You from tehir amazing 2003 release. But no matter how much of a cliche this is its still an amazing song.

In short this album is probably one of the best albums of 2005 and it could be the best if it was a little longer.

One of the best pop-metal bands since the '80s.......2006-03-31

Two years ago, Finland's The Rasmus took the world by storm. Their hit single, the disco-influenced "In the Shadows," was catchy enough to appeal to preteens, dark enough to draw metal-heads and gentle enough to make a dent in the Bryan Adams crowd.

Their latest release, "Hide from the Sun," for the most part stands by their winning formula with killer new songs and a few interesting twists.

Like "Dead Letters," "Hide from the Sun" is filled with dramatic pop-goth that resembles artists ranging from the Backstreet Boys to Bon Jovi to Nine Inch Nails. Also like "Dead Letters," Universal is promoting the new recording with an infectiously catchy first single, this time "No Fear" instead of "In the Shadows."

However, there are a few mild points of departure. Guitar riffs take center stage a little more frequently, such as on "Shot" and "Last Generation." And the upbeat ballad "Sail Away" loses The Rasmus' typical drama and grandeur in exchange for mindless, head-bobbing melodies.

While the rest of the album will not surprise stylistically, there is a wide array of incredible tracks. "Keep your Heart Broken" is a heart-wrenching love song, where "Immortal" has an emotional, head-banging chorus. "Don't Let Go" has Bryan Adams written all over it.

There is remarkably little one can say to criticize this record, but the exaggerated trauma of the lyrics can get a little annoying: "Every night I wake up crying `cause I feel like dying," singer Lauri Ylonen intones in "Night after Night (Out of the Shadows)."

Unfortunately, this CD has yet to see a U.S. release, but fans can pick up a copy online pretty reasonably.

The Finnish Invasion has begun!! All hail The Rasmus!.......2006-10-21

If you're an American, most people you know have never heard of The Rasmus. If you're reading this, there is a good chance that you are only hearing of them for the first time. Upon listening to this album, as well as their 2003 release Dead Letters, 2001's Into, and numerous tracks from their other CD's, dating back to 1996, the first sentence of this paragraph is going to seem utterly ridiculous.

Remember when rock used to be catchy? Remember when singers sang, instead of growled and belched, even in hard music? Do you miss hard rock songs that you can't help but sing along with? Welcome to The Rasmus. Pick up this CD, as well as their previous two (at the very least), and prepare to be amazed. Each CD these guys seems like a best-of collection. Each song sounds like it could be - and should be - a hit.

Lead singer Lari has a unique voice, as scratchy and full of character as it is angelic. He doesn't just sing the melody, he hits the notes. He must have perfect pitch. Nobody else sings like this. Nobody else could. Not in rock & roll, anyway. Mechanical precision, yet dripping with soul. Even if the songs sucked, you'd owe it to yourself to check out this guy's singing.

But the music doesn't suck. While definitely rock 'n roll, it eschews the typical blues based progressions of rock & metal for classical structures and melodies - and not always minor key arrangements either. These guys are fun. And serious. This isn't cock rock, nor is it butt rock. This is something new. This is the kind of rock you turn up to 11 on the car stereo, while at the same time, you can totally imagine a classical arrangement of each song, with strings replacing the crashing guitars and impassioned vocals. In fact, it would be damn good classical music.

The best part about discovering the Rasmus at this very point in history, is that they have an excellent back catalog. There is nothing like finding a band that, somehow, has escaped your attention for a decade, and used their time spent in obscurity (to you, at least) creating a discography that you eventually come to fall in love with.

Early material from The Rasmus had a ska sound, while their more recent stuff takes on a harder rocking, pop-metal sound that showcases their excellent sense of melody, song structure, variety, and lyrical depth. Fans of H.I.M., 69 Eyes, Lacuna Coil, and other pop-goth bands probably already know about The Rasmus. If not, check them out ASAP! And if that list of bands didn't look familiar to you, you've got at least 4 new favorite bands (including The Rasmus) to check out.
