Synopsis

Album Description

Uneasy Listening Vol. 2 is the companion album to Uneasy Listening Vol. 1. Both albums are collections of previously unreleased versions of the band's classic tracks. Uneasy Listening Vol. 2 features rarities and hard-to-find versions of some of HIM's biggest hits. This special album includes demos, remixes, live and alternate studio recordings of the band's heavier repertoire. Much of this material has never before been released and is highlighted by the highly sought after version of "Buried Alive By Love" featured in Bam Margera's CKY4 DVD. Whereas Uneasy Listening Vol. 1 featured the sentimental side of HIM, Vol. 2 focuses on the band's harder side and all versions have been selected by the band's singer Ville Valo. He explains, "Most of these versions are hard to find nowadays. Fans have frequently been asking us where to find these songs. The songs are also important to the band. They are songs that have allowed us to express our musical perversions." Valo summarizes the two-volume set: "Vol. 1 is music for Sunday mornings whereas Vol. 2 is for Saturday nights."

CD Reviews

Sweet relief

Kim Makoi | San Francisco, CA | 06/07/2007

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Some people think it's a cop-out to release CDs of remixed songs, but I think it's legit as long as it sounds good and gives a different flavor than the original, and this CD delivers. A lot of these mixes would not really work in a live performance setting, and that's probably why they were not released initially. Anyway, it's sweet relief for the ears to have new HIM sounds to listen to!"

Love Metal At Its Best

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I ordered this cd early from Finland on the original release date in april and i can't stop listening to it. The 616 versions of "Buried Alive By Love" and "Endless Dark" are amazing, my favorites by far; the live material is great, "Hand of Doom" and "Sailin' On" are the best live covers i've heard. A Must Have. BUY THIS CD NOW! Can't wait for Venus Doom in July, its going to be the best ever!"
