Ville Valo kokee epäonnistuneensa uusimman albumin kanssa: En tiedä mitä teimme väärin

Him keulahahmo Ville Valo kertoo UniScreenin haastattelussa, että yhtyeen uuden albumin menestys on ollut epäonnistuminen hänelle.
-Kun työskentelet albumin kanssa näin pitkään, niin odotat taivaiden aukeavan ja koko maailman sekoavan, mutta niin ei käynyt. Minusta se on epäonnistumista, Valo kertoo haastattelussa.
Valo kertoo kuitenkin, että musiikin tekeminen itsessään on palkitsevaa. Hän toteaa toivovansa, että useampi ihminen olisi arvostanut uutta levyä enemmän. Valo kertoo haastattelussa, etteivät myyntiluvut kuitenkaan määrittele sitä mikä on hyvää musiikkia.
- Rock-albumin kirjoittaminen on rankkaa, Valo toteaa.
Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice julkaistiin Suomessa 10. helmikuuta, Isossa-Britanniassa sekä Ranskassa 8. helmikuuta, Yhdysvalloissa 9. helmikuuta, Japanissa 10. helmikuuta ja Saksassa sekä Alankomaissa 12. helmikuuta vuonna 2010. Suomessa albumi menestyi ja myi heti julkaisuviikollaan kultaa.
Valo kertoo UniScreenin haastattelussa, etteivät uusimman albumin kappaleet soi radiossa.
-Ihmiset laulavat keikoilla mukana ja tuntevat kappaleet, mutta ne eivät soi radiossa. En siis tiedä mitä teimme väärin tällä kertaa, Valo sanoo.

It was not my favourite album. But nobody's fault. Every artist every musician is influenced by the time and the place that it is around him . With the passing of time anyway human beings learn to ignore and not to ignore things. And also soon or late everyone screams instead of singing , the stress comes to visit everyone, but then it also goes away, it is just a transition.
I must add, although I found it somehow dispersive, I couldn't really tell "bad, I thought for a rock band it's a rescue to make a change in the sound but artists have done it. In fact big artists have done and some very unfairly failed, then many years later everything changed. Truely all is good when there is reason. I guess it is part of the life of an artist, nothing, just be stubborn, ignore the business overpower and follow your talent.

wait so they really consider this album a failure??? It’s a complete masterpiece- what the actual hell :(

I Agree, culera666!! "Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice" is easily one of their best efforts! The first time I heard it, like everyone else, I didn't immediately warm up to it - probably because I was expecting something else... something harder and darker I guess. But after really giving it a close listening, I found I could not stop singing these songs and it is still my number one CD in my car today! In fact, I listen to it almost EVERY day, after all this time. I think it's a brilliant CD!!!

@@guitagious9464 commercial failure doesn't mean that an album is bad

[@guitagious9464]

@@MoahGentle Very true. And again, just to be clear to others reading this, I didn't say the album was bad. My exact words were, " I think it's a brilliant CD!!!" and " it is still my number one CD".
