If you’re from Finland, then it’s likely you’ve heard of The Rasmus. One of Finland’s highest selling rock bands, they’ve released seven studio albums over a 14 year career. The latest, Black Roses, is incredibly commercial sounding, but also engaging. With polished production, The Rasmus put a modern twist on the power-rock bands of the 80s and 90s, evoking everyone from Kansas and Europe, to Savage Garden. The lyrics wash over you with little emotional impact, but there’s big riffs and hooks galore. Singer Lauri Ylönen has the vocals to pull off their derivative sound, but some of the songs do fall a tad short.

Hi Noah!, is a good… but “short” review haha. The best of Rasmus music are the lyrics, all right.
