'''''Hell of a Collection''''' (stylized '''''Hellofacollection''''', as one word) is the first [compilation album](/source/compilation_album) by the [Finnish](/source/Finland) band [The Rasmus](/source/The_Rasmus), released in 2001 by [Warner Music Finland](/source/Warner_Music_Group).
The band recorded it when they still were "Rasmus" (later they changed their name from "Rasmus" to "The Rasmus"). It is the first album that they made since [Janne Heiskanen](/source/Janne_Heiskanen), the previous [drummer](/source/drummer) who left the band, was replaced by [Aki Hakala](/source/Aki_Hakala) in 1998. It is composed of eighteen songs, nearly all of which are revamped versions of songs from their previous three albums. The exceptions are the final track, "Liquid" (Demo), which is a demo tape of their hit song "[Liquid](/source/Liquid_(The_Rasmus_song))", and the songs "[F-F-F-Falling](/source/F-F-F-Falling)" and "[Chill](/source/Chill_(The_Rasmus_song))" which were the first new songs released after Aki replaced Janne.
"[Rakkauslaulu](/source/Rakkauslaulu)" (Lovesong) is a B-Side of the single ''[1st](/source/1st_(The_Rasmus_EP))'' (1995), and a non-album song.
"[Life 705](/source/Life_705)" was originally released on the band's debut album ''[Peep](/source/Peep_(album))'' in 1996. A new version was made in 1999 and is available on the single "[Swimming with the Kids](/source/Swimming_with_the_Kids)".
Except for all the revamped and remixed versions of songs, the album did not contain any new tracks.
In 2004 the album was re-released with a different track list excluding the two songs from ''[Into](/source/Into_(album))''.
==New logo==
The band changed their logo (which earlier just said "Rasmus") to a new one with flames. This is the first release where their new logo appears on. It also appears on the album ''[Into](/source/Into_(album))'' and all its singles. The logo was not used a long time though; in 2003 they changed it again to a "leaf" logo, which was used until their album, [Black Roses](/source/Black_Roses_(The_Rasmus_album)).Later, in 2012, they changed it again to a "bars" logo, which was used in their most recent album [The Rasmus](/source/The_Rasmus_(album)) and all its singles.
