When Finnish self-proclaimed love -metallers HIM release their 7th studio album, titled Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice (out February 2010), they're not channeling the melancholic, gloomy and sometimes depressed sound from their earlier releases. Maybe front-man and the band’s main songwriter Ville Valo's sobriety has something to do with it. This is the first album he writes while being completely sober and as Ville himself has said in various interviews, that instead of putting energy into going to bars, he put it into his songwriting.
The first time I heard the album I didn’t quite know what to think about it, as it was so different from what I had expected. However, I grew to love the album more and more after each spin. I wasn't too psyched about it after hearing the first single Heartkiller a few days before receiving the album. While Heartkiller is a good song, it is not a great song. If it was up to me, I would have chosen a different song to give a better first view of the album as a whole.
Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice is a rather happy-sounding, rock 'n' roll album you can put on while having a few beers with your friends. This is definitely a big contrast to some of their earlier work where you'd preferably listen to it while sitting alone in a dark room with a few candles lit and feeling like you want to slit your wrists, or at least feeling depressed. Of course there are not only fast rock songs on the album; there are also some of those melancholic, atmospheric ballads the Finnish quintet always pulls off very well.
The over-all feeling I get from the album is that the whole band have really put their best efforts into making it; it sounds like they have all been involved in the making. Lyrics, the melodies, the riffs – they are all put together so well. Guitarist Linde really gets his groove on, with riffs and solos that can easily be matched to the ones on Razorblade Romance (1999) and Love Metal (2003). Also, keyboarder Burton gets the chance to shine, Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice is filled with his skillful playing and there is quite a few funky, 80's influenced intros. The 8th track, In the Arms of Rain could best be described as the little sister of Right Here in My Arms (Razorblade Romance), but with a keyboard oriented intro. I had to listen to it once or twice more before I realized from where I recognized the song’s riff. I couldn’t be happier that they have re-used it with a slightly new vibe, since RHIMA is an excellent and classic HIM-song. Like St. Valentine, the 12th track of the album, is the heaviest song off the album, don’t let the verse fool you. In the chorus both drummer Gas and bassist Migй surely gets to work for their money, as it explodes into a loud rock song. The best way to describe the intro on this one: Salt in Our Wounds (2001), but on speed.
Unfortunately, the lyrics were not included in the promo so I have had to judge only by my hearing and repeating songs over and over again. And Ville's pronunciation is not the best at times, let me tell you. But from what I can hear, Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice is one of the best lyrical works penned by Ville Valo since Love Metal. They're brutally honest, sincere and heartfelt. Like these lines from the chorus of 2nd track, ballad Scared To Death: I'm not afraid to say I love you/and more than I used to be babe/I am scared to death/I am scared to death to fall in love/with you.
In 5th track Disarm Me (With Your Loneliness), also a ballad, we find these touching words: Deceive me out of my emptiness/telling me how you love me with all your heart/no more And they're also some of the raunchiest and sexually suggestive lyrics ever to appear on a
