Review - Album Details :
Third Album from the Finnish Band that Has Redefined Goth Rock Since Its Inception in 1996. Their Sound is in the Same Vein as Sisters of Mercy and the Mission (U.k). Lead Singer Villo Vallo Writes Spiritual Songs About Friendship, Trust and Love. They Are Songs of Longing - but They Are Delivered with Attitude. For Every Moment of Sorrow There's Always a Mischievous Smile, and a Killer Left Hook to Knock You Out Cold. That's Probably Why the Album is Called "Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights" - a Photography Term Used to Describe Those Old Black and Whites of the Likes of Greta Garbo. The Album, Too, is Heavy on Sharp Contrasts .you Can't Help but Notice that the 'love Metal' of Him's First Two Albums Has Turned Into Something Significantly Deeper, a Scorching Yin and Yang Concoction the Band Likes to Refer to as 'scandinavian Blues'. Ville Hates the Beatles and Red Meat, but Loves Gene Simmons and Edgar Allan Poe....those Choices Speak Volumes.Customer review - 2005-03-04
- Imports Rule.. Great CDThis is the version of DSBH to get.. The American release is s*** compared to this import!
"You Are The One" and "In Love And Lonely" are really great songs that aren't found on the other versions - plus the video of "Pretending" is included. Makes this edition grade A.

- I love it to your deathAfter I bought "Razorblade Romance" I was convenced ~HIM~ was the greatest band on earth, and thanks to "Deep shadows and Brilliant highlights" I have fallen in love once again. This cd is worth dying for, and i strongly suggest you order it as soon as possible.

- Cool TracksThis album has a more laid-back feel than some of the band's other work, but it still has some very cool tracks. The music is more pop-oriented and may not completely satisfy hardcore fans, but it is still worth checking out.
