In The Forest Of The Dreaming Dead - Unanimated

Advantages: Very imaginative album, lots of flare and originality
Disadvantages: Gets pretty boring, very quickly...

...The Rasmus are: Lauri Ylonen (vocals) Pauli Rantasalmi (Guitars) Eero Heinomen (Bass) Aki Hakala (Drums) (Now I want you to be able 2 recite those back to yourself at the end of this review, with correct spellings… what? Oh come on, they're not THAT hard!?)
