Second single, Echolocate Your Love, was released, September 2, 2022, accompanied with a music video. The album will feature 12 songs, and will be a double issue vinyl, due to the length being 56 minutes and change, a standard 12 inch vinyl can hold 19 minutes max on one side. This album will be the longest non-compilation(s) album ever released by Ville Valo.
On 20 March 2020, Valo released the surprise EP Gothica Fennica Vol. 1, under the moniker VV.[59] Two of its three tracks charted in Finland.[60][61] Valo was later named Artist of the Year at the Radio SuomiRock awards ceremony, while "Run Away from the Sun" received the award for Song of the Year.[62] In April 2022, Valo released "Loveletting", the first single from his debut solo album Neon Noir, which was released on 13 January 2023.

During his solo career, Valo has used a variation of the heartagram with two extra lines forming the moniker VV. Regarding the symbol, Valo jokingly stated: "Artistically speaking the main difference between HIM and VV is the extra line in the heartagram, but what an exquisite line it is!"[64]

Crash actually reviewing a new release because he wants to and feels up to doing so is a wholesome way to start this year off. ^w^

@ArtemyMusha Год назад

Alluded to this on the Discord server, and I'll say it here - the renewed enthusiasm I'm getting from this review is downright heartwarming to see.

@InkAndPoet Год назад

Wow, Crash really went... gaga for the lavishness of Vile. And, as someone who doesn't have the highest range (I'm a baritone), Vile's songs are easy for me to sing, which I love.

@ElliYeetYT Год назад

Seeing “Album Review” in the title again for the first time in yonks gave me a cheeky smile. The 2022 break has done wonders.

@MelomanoAdicto Год назад

I personally loved it. My first tattoo ever was a Heartagram and I know I'll never regret about it. HIM and Ville are one of a kind and this record proves that. It's Ville being himself.

@hellonurd8957 Год назад

Yay!!!! Welcome back Crash!

@Beaglegirl19 Год назад

Crash, it's great to see you back. I missed these reviews. I hope you're doing well.

@thomaschanning6520 Год назад

You seem revitalized. Awesome to see. May you never lose you’re smile again!

@progamer461 Год назад

Was listening to this on the way to work and I love it, as a long time HIM fan I thought it was great, but I do agree with your points tho I did miss that heavier, crunchy guitar at times but I still loved the record. Its funny tho, as I was listening to it I thought about you crash and wondered if you'd make a video on it, so I was happy to get the notification, Keep on rocking Crash!

@Chatman666 Год назад

I MISSED YOUR REVIEWS SO MUCH. 🙏🏼❤️ That's it. That's the comment. 😊

@CiardisInferno99 Год назад

Honestly I'm just glad Ville seems healthy and in a good place mentally these days. A lot of singers I grew up with.....aren't.

@the-aspiring-creator4249 Год назад

It's so great to see that break has done you well. I can feel the renewed passion and love for this and... honestly I hope this format stays. I liked things like FIMI and such but this feels just so much more casual.

@hailtothescream1756 Год назад

You’re so entertaining, it’s always a pleasure hearing your thoughts on music & seeing all the funny parts you add in!

@thedreschcode5713 Год назад

You going over the titles made my fucking day. Laughed so hard. Thanks Crash!

@summerjay7505 Год назад

great to see ya back Crash! super excited for another year of great music 🥳

@aust_inc Год назад

Good to see a new review from you, Crash. Hope you're back in a good mental space to do what you love. I listened to "Echolocate Your Love" and was intrigued. Now that I've seen your review, I'll definitely have to check out the album in full.

@kylehegedus5498 Год назад

Great to see a review video, Crash!!!!

@idolsociety Год назад

HIM has always been one of my favorite bands so I am happy to see this was the album you reviewed!! I would love to hear you talking about HIM's discography in depth one day, they were really kind of special. Glad to see you back, Crash!

@ps1182 Год назад

I didn’t think I’d see another album review from Crash but I’m glad I did because your reviews are so awesome. Glad to see you’re doing much better as well man.

@ASLB247 Год назад

Didn’t expect another album review after god knows how long, but good to see one!

@ASLB247 Год назад

Sidenote: still hope you’re taking care of yourself, man.

@alexddragame Год назад

Nice to see you in a better place to make a review. And pretty decent album too

@Efan39 Год назад

I really enjoyed this album. For me, the song Neon Noir is a top 5 Ville Valo/HIM song. The rest of the album lands somewhere between 6-7.5. New viewer btw, loved the video :)

@daishoryujin95 Год назад

I'm so glad to see you're doing better.

@thecosmicblueautie Год назад

Good to have you back and feeling rejuvenated, good sir. I will see ya when I see ya!

@ShOscar Год назад

I love this album! It was my first CD purchase of this year. I got the deluxe book version of the album, and the package looks very nice and slick. Almost like... a book. Wow

@susan-meaaz4879 Год назад

Just glad you're feeling better crash, welcome back.

@natashakandrina2216 Год назад

This is just the beginning. Well done boys.

@microdisturbia Год назад

hi! ive never watched this channel before but it was randomly recommended to me so i clicked. i was hyped for this album since i heard about it, and when it came out i isntatly listened, had mixed feelings at first but i think it's great now. i'm a huge HIM fan and this def isn't far from it which is awesome. i agree with all your points about it.

@HoneyDrops2023 Год назад

Loved this review, fun and funny. 😂

@TheRareVideosXL Год назад

Great album review.

@denisefreidhoff5047 Год назад

speaks from my soul, always been a Him and Ville fan. thank you for your words

@davidturner2974 Год назад

I kinda want you to record a video just reading the entire album's lyrics. Anyways, love me some VV and can't wait to see him in Charlotte on May 5th!!

@invisibilly1946 Год назад

Welcome back my dude

@chirpywiggins5796 Год назад

I'm not a huge HIM fan but listened to Rock and Metal for th last 35 yrs. As a standalone piece of music, it's stunning. There's no weak track in my opinion. Will be on my Album Of the year list come December for sure

@mavrickhaight7287 Год назад

Wow Crash this almost reminds me of an Anthony Fantano review. With no music playing (for the most part), to how you were talking about that album, to how you did the number rating. I'm so used to Fantano doing the, "Strong 8.", thing.

@cyanmanta Год назад

Hey Crash, you might already know this, but one of your comments got mentioned on the latest Song vs Song podcast.

@cinematicsterling6897 Год назад

i love HIM and this album was very good. are you catching him on his solo tour?

@Alansworstnight Год назад

This album showed how multi talented the dude is by composing not only the lyrics but the instrumentals HIMself, pun intended, he made it from scratch and did a decent job.

@rayanna7188 Год назад

I see what you did there, good one lol

@timk6181 Год назад

I really don't get HIM/Valo, but it's always nice listening to someone rave about something they are passionate about. Keep it up

@EntityofDarkness696 Год назад

Unrelated but my gateway to goth was Voltaire. If this is a similar vibe, I may be down for it

@dansivad Год назад

I get the critique of production, drums etc. but there was no mention that this was a true solo album written, performed and produced by one guy. I dare any lead singer of a band to try that and see if they call pull off what Ville Valo just did.

@Kaszubito Год назад

I am a HIM fan since early 2000, I agree with your review. Something between SW and ToT, and boys are missing on this album, however, I think the keyboard is better.

@kaydraven Год назад

Pretty much captures how I feel about the record. Very HIM vibes, but missing that heaviness that HIM was known for but still dripping with that delicious gothiness. And plenty of sultry Ville. Great review!

@alegotik87 Год назад

Hahaha love the wooohooaaa's 💕

@susan-meaaz4879 Год назад

Are mall goths still a thing

@Ralphensteins Год назад

Him and VV rules

@BrandonCroker Год назад

Eyyyyyy

@koolssi Год назад

I totally get the absence of the heavier guitars and soloing since Ville played all of the instruments himself. It's rather impressive what he could do all by himself. Still a valid point.

@matiaspiccolo5623 Год назад

I'm a HIM fan, and this is a great album, it brings back that sweet melodies from the Deep Shadows era, not so strong like Razorblade or Love Metal but still an amazing job.. but, to be honest, personally i miss the raw sound from the early HIM, like in Borellus, or Serpent Ride.. this is a new beggining, a new Ville, and that's totally ok, it sounds just fine on it's own.. greetings from Argentina

@DarkturtleX Год назад

Honestly if you like HIM then you could check out End Of Green. Its an german band which is a little older then HIM and does Dark Rock a little longer too. They have an alternative/doom metal tintch to their sound and a vocalist with an interesting range who even has an solo album under the name of Michelle Darkness. Nowadays their music is a little more tame compared to their fun edgy beginnings. Also btw we call bands such as HIM, End Of Green, Schock or Lacrimas Profundere Dark Rock/Metal rather then goth. Its an genre name which came out of Germany with bands such as Secret Discovery or Dreadful Shadows coining that term. Basically that genre is rock or metal with elements of goth, pop and or electronic elements. Sven Friedrich from Dreadful Shadows, Zeraphine and Solarfake was basically the first Vile Valo girlscrush before Vile took over his spot xD

@HoneyDrops2023 Год назад

Indeed, some have called it HIM 2.0, but to be fair, Ville wrote and arranged most of HIMs stuff so it would of course, sound the same. l will say however, that there is a more personal vibe, like you see a bit more of the man behind the tunes, likely because he wrote and recorded the music himself while trapped by the Covid pandemic. A lot of soul searching. Hard for me to say what the best track was. I truly adored Neon Noir but Vertigo Eyes outro has me straight tripping on acid… blacklight blue, baby.

@MBF78 Год назад

Just from your one bit of reading there, it sounds like one could cut oneself on the lyrics of this album. :)

@CrashThompson Год назад

Potentially 👀👀👀

@kingdonko6581 Год назад

It is a HIM album without Linde

@CherryCheetah Год назад

The last HIM album I liked was Dark Light I will still check this out.

@melinoel616 Год назад

The absence of Linde, Mige, Burton, and Gas screamed so loud on this record that it broke the sound barrier, and it was very jarring. THAT SAID, Neon Noir was still a good record. The lyrics are so Ville as ever, the melodies are as solid as ever, and my god Ville has proven once again why he is my favorite vocalist of all time. What sorcery has allowed his pipes to STILL be god-tier levels of incredible?

@marchi.fleming Год назад

Vinny Vincent has a new record?! 😮 (In all seriousness tho Vinny had some of the most architecturally marvelous hair in the Aqua Net bizness👍🏼) Now I'll shaddup & listen to what **your** VV's on about. 😁😘

@nonyodambiz Год назад

I think the reason why the production and mixing on this album sounds a lot muddier this time around was because this album was recorded during the pandemic and was co produced and mixed in the way in Austin, Texas and mastered in New York city. So that would explain the production not really matching the mixing and mastering on this thing.

@helios5868 Год назад

Idea. How to get into HIM. If anyone's gonna do it, it'll be Crash.

@microdisturbia Год назад

PLEASE YES!!!

@awookieandagerman Год назад

Did HIM break up to make more room for H.E.R.? Sorry, I'll see myself out.

@kylehegedus5498 Год назад

😂😂😂😂😂

@silviahannak3213 Год назад

HIM and his Voice and the guitar sounds are my Beginning of the Journey into Heavy Metal (actually Symphonic) Never saw them. Loved HIM but Ville Valo still has a wonderful Voice. Yes it is not HIM cause its Ville. Some Songs are feeling like HIM. Just softer, less heavy. Fine for me. There is also a slow Version of When Love and Dead embrace in a jazzy Version where he goes Elvis at the End. He still has a great Vocal Range and i am courious about it. Heard it. Love it. Even if it is less heavy.

@HoneyDrops2023 Год назад

Funny, even Ville admits he is not the best musician, but he enjoyed the songwriting aspect, and you can tell.

@gregorkippa6399 Год назад

As a long time HIM fan ....you really shouldn't compare it to pre-Love Metal for the HIM we all know and love nor Dark Light ,Venus Doom or scream works cause there different styles ... But you gotta respect Ville's love for making music and i think he done well as a one man army .Very nice album and the next one will be even better . also if you want a Pre- Love Metal feel of a band try 616- Bam Margera's directional band ( he doesn't sing) but its a carbon copy of old HIM style music with some absolute belters

@NinasNon-Sense Год назад

It's definitely a solidly upper mediocre HIM album. I'll happily listen to it but if it was a choice between any HIM album and this, I'd probably put on Dark Light instead. I'm interested to see what he does after this though.

@imonyoutuberightnow2668 Год назад

hi crash

@sith29 Год назад

Givin that ville did it alone it's well done and redone heartagram is just to show its Ville on his own , he made up the symbol, don't see what the issue is , if bam can use it ville can redesign it . Also he has how many heartagram tattoos on him might as well use it .

@michaelmacvittie6977 Год назад

As someone who’s not into the cutesy anime shit, it’s nice to see Crash simp over something I understand. (I’m just not big on anime anymore in general, not attacking anything.)

@albertgein3082 Год назад

My last names Thompson* are we related?!

@ehhhhcudddddddd Год назад

That "If you want to feel what I feel, kill the light" has 100% got me

@frankyulloa21 Год назад

It’s a ok album . I kinda bailed after Venus Doom. Didn’t really care for dark light either.

Btw, I saw HIM back in 2007. 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

@Degsey Год назад

He's gone solo its not going to sound like HIM and if it did im pretty sure people would moan it just sounds like HIM. and you know he done everon the album?
