Hide from the Sun
The Rasmus' new album after their breakthrough album 'Dead Letters'.
Dead Letters was marvellous with catchy tunes and Lauri's range was amazing and all that, and the good english lyrics (written by a bunch of Finns... think about Sonata Arctica, god their lyrics are... well I can't say it's bad, it's just... weird.).
But it seems like they have lost either their bitter or sorrow feeling in Hide from the Sun. I haven't listened to the whole album yet, but I think it's no way better than Dead Letters.
Anyway. It's a little bit disappointing that although they kept up their standard, they did not make any significant breakthrough- and instead, they lost their magical little touch of darkness and power like 'Not like the other girls' or 'In the Shadows'.
I'm looking forward to hearing the song 'out of the shadows' though, since apparently it seems to me a sequel to the hit 'In the Shadows'. Just wondering how that song sounds like...

I think what happened pretty much with the album is that they didn't want to take risks and they stack to the "formula" they had from before. They need this album to be a success yet everyone is calling it too plain and so on.. well you can't win 'em all. But it's still good music. Nothing that'll blow you away but good anyhow. =)
