"What a disappointment!!! I bought this one because of "Dead Letters", a great album that combines melodic hard rock (in the vein of Bon Jovi's most inspirated stuff) with a contemporary sound. Great melodies and arrangements. Then I purchased "Hell of a collection" and I really got a big nausea. I almost broke this CD throwing it down to the floor. Here, the band doesn't seems to be The Rasmus. It could be aything but The Rasmus. Funk rhythms, horns, dancing oriented commercial stuff (it includes a pathetic cover of "Ghostbusters"!!!). Don't make the same mistake that I made... don't buy this piece of crap!!!"

A great collection of great songs by the Rasmus.

"Ok, now the other two reviews were bad, so before you really do decide not to buy this album listen to me. I hardcore The Rasmus fan.



The album itself is from their PREVIOUS WORK, their first 3 albums where more funk/rock. This album is a collection of songs from those previous 3 albums, but it also has 2 songs not available from other albums, those being Liquid (Demo) and Raukauslaulu (sp?). The album itself is a great album, but you have to like the old sound of The Rasmus.



Still a great album if you want to hear a different side of this hot finnish band."

"This album is truly a must for any Rasmus fan. It's basically a "best-of" off their first three albums. I personally think the original Hellofacollection was better. It replaced FFFalling, Chill and Rakkauslaulu with Swimming with the Kids, WellWell and Man In the Street. If you've never heard any of their work prior to Dead Letters this is a good tester but be warned... It isn't the same sound."
