I like this bands last 3 CDs before their newest ( 5th: Dead Letters, 6th: Hide from the sun, 7th: Black Roses) don't know the new one yet ( which confusingly is called The Rasmus) The band is known as Rasmus in their home country if I recall right, only as The Rasmus internationlly.

DCY: Did your mean their album "Peep" which was a total different style when they were still kids and a mixture between Teen-Pop and Alternative or whatever, bought this CD (which is from 1996!) cheap on a bargain table, indeed not worth it.

From their 4th album "Into" from 2001 on they have been solid in my opinion and would be called Melodic Rock if not otherwise marketed as a gothic group with (much) more teen-appeal at least here in Germany

When they played on the Finnish tour with HIM and Negative here in 2005 (?) they were great
"Still standing" is one of my alltime fave songs:
