Jacob...Oct 1, 2006Not HIM's best CD. it is filled with 2 of there best singles. "Join me" is still (to me) there best work. The United States just dosnt like HIM because it was never shown to us. Now i hope a new Generation of people will come to love it like I do.

ChristinaLDec 1, 2005This CD kicks ass. It is the best yet. I cant help but listen to this CD over and over again.

KaylaDDec 5, 2005This is not one of HIMs best albums yet and I think inspires the emotional sides of most goths out there today. It says that you can still be emotional and romantic, but dark and diabolical at the same time.

chipaNov 18, 2006It's about time a band conveyed itself outside the ideals of such a compromising society. This is a clear example, existence of mere talent at it's best. And I happy to realize that they are the first Finnish band ever to go gold in the U.S.. Well, it goes to show that critiques don't know squat when it comes to music; for bellowing this autominous sound.

IvonaZAug 22, 2006my favourite is razorblade romance but i'd give them 10 for each and every one of their albums...i admire ville for the stile he uses while writing songs and i just love his voice...

KristinaANov 6, 2005I think the album is GREAT!! I had the pleasure of seeing H.I.M live last night in St. Pete. Was as equally great as the album. Wish the guys well in the U.S. so I can see them again.

TristanLDec 8, 2005Deeper, and more emotional than the other albums. Not as good as the classic and classy razorblade romance, but should entertain the kiddies.

GaripSJan 30, 2006Damn it people, how the hell can a H.I.M. album not have a full 10 rating?!?!?! The lady of my life dies for Ville Valo, so vote H.I.M. to the fullest and keep on Killing (your) Loneliness

ValeryKJun 10, 2006I'm HIM's fun, and i know that this album is the worst, cause love metal, the greatest songs, vol 666 and others were better, but this album is acceptable, but it could be better!

SusanSAug 18, 2006HIM is the best band ever. Villes' vocal is really great. The lyrics is deep & personal. I love this band, still they've changed. I can't say this album is the best (I like RR the most), but I adore their music, for 3,5 years already. Russia loves you, gyus =)

kristyvampireAug 20, 2006I LOVE HIM!!!!!!! THEY F***ING ROCK!! i particularly like this album, not they're best but still sexy and deep. i havbe every album of they'res and I think they're storngest album would be RAZORBLADE ROMANCE. DARK LIGHT is good. I like it. I LOVE VILLE VALO!!!

StefaniNov 23, 2005I haven't heard of this band until now and it is hypnotic. I can't seem to get enough of the unique music. From a womans point of view, Vallo is the perfect front man. He's got the voice, good looks and movements that just draw you in further.

SarahDec 20, 2005Dark light is a fantastic piece of music, HIM are musical geniuss'. Ville Valo's lyrics and voice sooth the soul and warm ur heart, what a man. the only reason this is a nine instead of a ten is because i have all of their albums and Razorblade romance overshadows all the rest by far!

MihaiVNov 1, 2006I'm surprised at how low the ratings are. This is a good album.

-
AmandaNov 15, 2006I gave this album an 7 for the simple reason because, it just wasn't what I or other people were used to (NOT meaning people i haven't met, just people I know who like H.I.M). I'm not saying that I didn't like their cd, it's just not what I was expecting...

A solid, if not wholly overwhelming album.

BlenderIt's refreshing to hear a band approach the form's familiar imagery from a place of romance, not cynicism. [Oct 2005, p.138]
