yeah I'd say this is a nearly perfected tight package of their style. I might actually prefer the more folky and messy style of Hatebreeder a tiny bit, although I do feel like I have to revisit that album with my newfound context knowledge about their subsequent releases, but this album is just so catchy, has so many great grooves and riffs and moments, and its incredibly tight and replayable.

I like this album a lot but I feel like hatecrew death roll is basically a better version of this album. A lot of similarities in sound/style between the two

HDR was a respectable transitional alb w/ enough of the frills and excess of their old shit to justify its obvious commercial focus yes
this was the worst case scenario for the timeline that one suggested. isn't so much that chugs and meathead riffs were a bad look for Bodom (though still absolutely not their forte), but it commits too hard for the band's writing to keep up with. runs out of ideas and good hooks about 4 songs in and the efforts it makes to overcompensate with aggro (FLYING FUCK) are so forced it hurts

Pretty much agree on everything you said Johnny lol
This is like their Reroute to Remain, going full mallcore/nu-metal and it's very hit and miss. The quality is slightly higher here though.

This album really doesn't do much different from HCDR. I'd say that's where the transition really happened. Also, don't hear any nu metal here

also love that album to bits so that checks out
people still refer to RtR as mallcore or nu-metal is so fucking funny to me, like its so far away from those styles still that i have to assume you are actively deluding yourself in the classic in flames hate train to still repeat this kinda stuff in 2024.

RtR definitely has some nu metal tendencies and it's not a coincidence that they started touring with nu metal bands at that time. But I still like the album and I also like a lot of "nu-metal" lol.
Also, bodoms lyrics were kinda always like that but they definitely upped the cheese starting with HCDR. Anybody saying it started with AYDY must've missed chokehold (cocked n loaded) or triple corpse hammerblow

They definitely flirted with it in HCDR yes, just like In Flames flirted with it in Clayman

Sixpounder + those songs + the HCD t/t + Needled 24/7 lmfao (WILL SOMEBODY TELL ME...?) defs memed up their guts n glory vocal approach, and the songwriting style on this one is so much less lead-centric that the lyrics are about as focal as they ever were on a Bodom album. Entirely different approach to the iHATEuMuhhhENEMIyooooooow style on, say, the Hatebreeder t/t
