"
HIM being one of my favorite bands, and this being their side project, i knew i would like this record, i just didn't realize how much. it's a bit heavier than most HIM records, with more emphasis on straight up rock than anything, and definitely worth getting. most people who watch viva la bam will probably recognize that show's theme, "king of rock and roll," but there are far more reasons to get this record than just that. this record is solid rock all the way through, and much better than anything you'll see on MTV. if there are three cd's you should go buy right now, it's daniel lioneye, HIM's razorblade romance and clutch's awesome "blast tyrant." likeminded people can reach me at birdman@g2gm.com."

"This is straight up music to rock out to. If you've watched Viva La Bam, you know how badass the "King of Rock N' Roll" song is. Every other track has the same energy and badass sound (except for eldorado baby). The Bob Dylan cover sounds more like they wanted to cover it like Guns N' Roses did. Maybe a cover of a cover? Anyway, this album kicks a lot more ass than a lot of H.I.M. stuff but don't get the wrong idea, H.I.M. is still great. Either way, buy this."
King of Rock n Roll!

"This cd is awesome. It features members from the best band in the world, HIM. Mige plays bass. Ville plays drums, and Linda plays guitar and sings. This is a really good traditional rock n roll cd. Reminds me of days back when music was music and people weren't using music just to sell their looks. They even cover the classic "Knocking on Heaven's Door" by Bob Dylan. It amazes me how good this is, seeing it as how only 2 songs were meant to be, and the rest just kinda came together in the studio. Great stuff guys."

"Most people who own this CD are fans of the band HIM. Don't expect much HIM related material here. This is purely the work of their guitarist, Lindström. Picture southern rock mixed with Hendrix & Elvis ...heavily sedated. The term "sex, drugs, rock'n roll" HAD to have originated from this album. From turning into a 'cosmis pope' from a drug overdose, to loving ladies from all sides of the world ( & i cleaned that last sentence up significantly)this CD punches "offensive" in the face & makes it run for cover. you're either gonna toss this CD in the trash when you hear it, or laugh your ass off all the way through weather it be from Lindströms terrible Elvis impressions or the tasteless lyrics. Either way, enjoy it because this is the only Lioneye CD you're ever going to see. Pure rock, at its core 11o%"
