Yeah, I brought them back. I’m only doing 5 posts a week now (mostly) and I have a little more time and less stress.

Why is Valo going by VV? Doesn’t he know that those initials are tainted? Career suicide!
I think he should have just called it VALO.

I don’t know why he is doing that, but whatever. I like the album as I listened to it this morning. Best new album of the year…also the first new one I’ve heard, but still…I like it.

I haven’t bought a H.I.M. album since around 2006 so I’m happy to hear what he is up to. Almost thought H.I.M. was a good band for alienated hard rockers to get into.
If anything bad happens with this album, blame the initials VV.

It’s different. Very goth and sullen, yet sometimes quite nice.

Odd. When I think of VV, I think of Voivod. I don’t know why.
Thanks for the list. Glad to hear the stress levels are dipping.
Happy Friday everyone!

Sometimes as I’m going through your list, I think “now John is just making up band names and albums,” so I click on the video you have posted and sure enough, it’s an actual band/song! Lol.
I’m getting old.

Two weeks into the year and they’re already hitting my wallet. I need some camo shorts, a case of Busch Light, and the new Obituary.
