With Ville Valo's inspiration coming from a relationship which ended months before they recorded this cd in Wales, the songs on this album are extremely heart-felt and emotional. The band carries on their signature sound but three years on from their debut album they've moved forward instead of back. This album holds amazing tracks such as "Poison Girl", "Right Here In My Arms", "Join Me In Death" and "Wicked Game". The artwork of this album is far different from any other metal album I've come across but its what is contained in the CD that is unique.
