"Rumat sävelet" (Finnish for "The Ugly Notes") is the second album of Finnish punk rock band Hassisen Kone. It was a successful follow-up to the group's debut "Täältä tullaan Venäjä", and was certified platinum in 2005.

Ismo Alanko has said that the album's lyrics partly reflected how he experienced the sudden success of their debut album. [Tero Valkonen on [http://pomus.net/001787 Pomus - Populaarimusiikin museo] - Retrieved on April 21 2008] This is most evident in the song "Jurot nuorisojulkkikset" ("Surly Youth Celebrities"). Hassisen Kone played the song in 2000 at a reunion concert, even though Alanko thought it was strange singing the song as a 40-year-old.
