Meh album, 2.5.

Album Rating: 1.5

I've always thought of CoB as just power metal with harsh vocals and a small thrash influence, nothing more. As for the neo-classical thing, I could see a smalllll influence on Something Wild and Hatebreeder, but no where else. Maybe I'm wrong, idk.

Sorry dude but biting classical compositions and speeding them up into guitar/keyboard solos don't make them neo-classical at all. At allllll.

Those songs don't even have classical influence. It's just melodic style guitar at the most.

i heard rumors that Alexi uses a vocal effect for his growls. anyone know if this is true?

doesn't matter what genre this is, it still sucksThis Message Edited On 04.08.08

Man, Cocaine is getting pretty worked up over this genre thing. Leave the poor guy alone. I must say that his avatar does perfectly match his personality here, though. And he does really like the word "facetious."



Anyway, good review, but I definitely dont think this is even close to being their most technical album. I would attribute that to Hatebreeder. Maybe I'm missing the subtle technicality or something.



This album gets a 3 from me overall, though. It really sucks that a lot of the songs have flashes of cool parts in them, but are fairly mediocre throughout the rest of the songs.

Yea, I used to feel that way about Bodom, but I think their other albums are far more consistent. Especially Hatebreeder. Hatebreeder is one of my all-time favorite albums. None of Bodom's other albums even come close to touching it imo.

haven't heard Hatebreeder...Follow the Reaper was my first taste and it had it's moent but mostly was samey and boring...should i check out hatebreeder and give them another shot?

Hatebreeder isn't very good, so no.

WOW! Coke making a negative comment about something. I didn't see that coming at all...

I like more than I hate, shut the fuck up and find something useful to say.

I only really like Banned from Heaven on here.This Message Edited On 04.08.08

Eh, coke might be offputting but his view of music is usually spot on as i pretty much enjoy what he does.

He's like a new pair of underwear...at first constricting but eventually he becomes a part of you.

Definitely check out Hatebreeder. It puts all their other material to shame. Much more thought put into everything, the riffs are far more interesting and creative. The keyboards add an atmosphere to the music while remaining very tasteful. The vocals are harsher, but I like that. Some may not.



And yes, Follow the Reaper did get a little samey and boring whereas Hatebreeder does not. Every song is CoB at their best. Plus, it's more classically influenced (don't bite my head off, cocaine) than Follow the Reaper so if you like that then that's a plus .

nah i wont bite your head off i know cob fans have obviously never listened to classical music
