Dear HIM fans. It's hard not to notice what BMG label is doing with HIM's legacy lately. It's nothing more than money grabbing. One can still understand the endless reissues of the first four albums on all kinds of vinyl colors and the mediocre “exclusive” 12" single for Record Store Day (even though they managed to screw it up, but who cares, it's heartagram shaped, fans will still buy it!). The recently spotted THE BEST OF 1997-2004 COMPILATION is utter nonsense. We already have “And Love Said No”, a great compilation of the same era with a more interesting tracklist. The upcoming release looks like it was made half-assed in 5 minutes with a stock image that has NOTHING to do with the band HIM. With such a large catalog of the band's b-sides available, BMG wants to release this? Indescribable. All fans who truly respect the band's legacy should ignore this compilation (and any possible physical versions of it), as well as the endless reissues of the first four albums. Is Ville even aware of this? Terrible. More inside this post...

P.S. If you really want to buy HIM vinyls - better choose the new Sony RCA reissues in gatefold sleeves. They are made with care. Don't buy garbage.
