Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recording for the first time while entirely sober, Ville Valo steers the Finnish 'love metal' act toward a brighter, highly melodic alternative rock sound. The album is characterized by hook-laden, pop-infused songwriting and rapid-fire tempos that noticeably dial back their signature gothic doom influences.
