And Love Said No The Greatest Hits 1997–2004 is HIM's first greatest hits album. It contains two unreleased songs: "And Love Said No" and "Solitary Man", the latter of which is a Neil Diamond cover. The British version also has a re-recorded version of "It's All Tears (Drown In This Love)". The digipak version of this album come with a DVD with six songs live at Semifinal Club in Helsinki. It was also remastered for over ten years of performing (it was a gift to all the HIM's fans). When the CD is removed from the case, and the case is held up to the light, on the CD side there is a message from HIM. It says "Thank You!", with the exclamation point being dotted with a Heartagram in a circle.
