WOW
the best of.....no need to say more
best track - buried alive by love

THIS WAS MY FIRST H.I.M ALBUM I BOUGHT
H.I.M. enthusiasts will be happy to know that the hits from their first four albums have been assembled into a simple compilation that spans their first decade of material. These singles were previously available in the extremely comprehensive The Single Collection, but that weighty set demanded that listeners sift through various alternate takes and instrumental versions. Now, with And Love Said No: Greatest Hits 1997-2004, there's an easily accessible launch pad for newcomers to the realm of H.I.M. Fans of the Scandinavian emotional retro metal sound will find this record the most concise and acceptable way to familiarize themselves with the Finnish rockers' catalog, with a couple of songs chosen from each of the first four releases. Hardcore followers may be disappointed by the presence of the cover songs ("Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak and "Solitary Man" by Neil Diamond) instead of the strangely omitted album cuts like "And Love Said No" and "Beyond Redemption." But regardless, this 16-song collection is definitely the best starting point for freshmen to the school of H.I.M., and for those who are looking to learn more about the origin of Bam Margera's pentagram heart logo. The metallic material will appeal to the thrashers and eyeliner fetishists; alternately, those darker souls who appreciate more raw and dramatic goth will prefer the stripped-down song versions present on Uneasy Listening, Vol. 1. [This version of And Love Said No includes the bonus track "It's All Tears (Drown in This Love") as well as a bonus DVD featuring six live tracks.]

This album is fantastic
Ignore the bloke who said that there is no point owning this album he knows nothing!!
This is a must buy as it includes all their bests hits, if you haven't heard them before i recommend listening to funeral of hearts that song will make you fall in love with band as it did it for me.
They play gothic love songs that are truely amazing as i thought those two could not be combined i have been proven wrong.
Wicked game is an amazing cover version maybe better than the original. I also recommend listening to 'Gone With The Sin' 'Close To The Flame' 'Join Me' and 'When Love And Death Embrace'
Enjoy!
