YMMV / VNV Nation

• Awesome Music: Quite a few of their songs, but "Art Of Conflict" is arguably one of their most awesome songs.
• Broken Base: A few fans dislike Futureperfect for being too "soft". A few more dislike their later albums for their Synth-Pop influences. Not nearly as huge a case as some others, though.
• Tear Jerker: Quite a few songs manage to be this- they're big on songs with an epic, melancholy, wistful tone, after all.
  • "Holding on". Holy shit!
  • This live performance of Forsaken. The way that Ronan delivers the lyrics is very impactful. He also gets quite emotional most of the times he sings the song live.
  • In the UK, Illusion is associated with the killing of Sophie Lancaster and therefore viewed as the most tragic song. Live performances of Illusion there will inevitably turn sombre, with Ronan often dedicating to song to her.
  • Beloved will probably get your lacrimal glands working as well. It's about a guy reminiscing about his dead wife, and how he hopes to join her in eternity.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The Trance influences in Futureperfect were a bit too much for fans of harder EDM / Industrial.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: A criticism leveled towards Praise The Fallen, as the songs are noticeably darker, almost harboring on depressing (see "Joy", "Solitary" and the live version of "Forsaken").
