Varjostaa review: Screamworks album design part III.

Album cover actually causes more dizziness as on PC screen, so the larger version of screen print Saint Scream has even stronger influence.
Otherwise it is relatively clean and non-intrusive, album disc is in pink (pink-orange, depends on the light), a bonus disc in plain black with word BAUDELAIRE in braille letters.

As discussed in many forums, a photo booklet contains only Ville Valo photo and as he pointed, the credit informs about producer, but members or Ville are not mentioned. Just under braille letters is written "AC (screamworks acoustic) by Valo". It provoked a number of discussions, but I personally have to agree with Ville, if music catch you, everything you want to know, you can simply google.

I have not examined whether there are differences between the booklets of one-disc, two-disc and heartagram album version with Saint Scream ... but I suppose that information about "2rabbits Studios Screenprint" lacks the classic versions. For those who do not own this excellent album, there are published several pictures and reviews of Screamworks: Love in Theory and Practice and also Baudelaire In Braille.

Varjostaa review: Baudelaire In Braille part II.

In general, I love acoustic versions of HIM songs and already the first seconds of In Venere Veritas gives me hope that the Baudelaire In Braille would not be exception... give us the opportunity to hear the whole album in acoustic version was great idea.

This time, I will not speak about songs individually, as I did at Screamworks review. After only first minutes, I feel that this piece of art deserves to be considered as a whole. Tracks cleared of several-weeks, perhaps months work with different instruments and effects, conceived very easily and clearly gives shine for Valo's voice and poetism.

True is that some could be simplified even more, in my case it is Heartkiller which somehow undermined my overall opinion of the bonus disc, with some he could play and show us more of him....
Sometimes the idea occur to me that Ville failed to completely abandon sound effects (which I would not use in acoustic version), that it could be a bit difficult for him to depersonalize of the album, finished only a moment before. As almost of all albums and generally HIM music, also Baudelaire In Braille is full of contradictions...
