YMMV / Lordi

Go To

  • Fandom Rivalry: With GWAR. Mostly one sided actually - GWAR fans tend to despise Lordi for poorly articulated reasons, Lordi fans either enjoy or don't care one way or another about GWAR.
  • It's Popular, Now It Sucks!: While the Eurovision victory brought them incredible fame and success, it also alienated some of the old, "hardcore" fandom. Their later album sales in Finland (Babez for Breakfast sold remarkably less compared to its predecessor Deadache) may have also suffered from this after the biggest hype was over.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Their make up makes them look like friggin' demons.
    • Hella's backstory.
    • Their first movie The Kin has a few nightmarish scenes, such as the chasing, killing and hiding in the shed of a poor man by Kita. Mr Lordi's appearance near the end is also fairly eerie. The soundtrack and settings themselves give a feeling of claustrophobia similar to the "Blood Red Sandman" music video.
    • The last pages from their Demonarchy comic feature the killed monsters revived and they look creepier than in their normal states.
  • Signature Song: "Would You Love a Monsterman", "Devil Is a Loser" and "Hard Rock Hallelujah".
