Album Rating: 2.5

Worse than Halo Of Blood. Easily

Halo was a great return so gonna hard to top that given the past few releases before it.

"Morrigan was pretty cool but the title track surely not. Is the rest similar to the latter? Don't know if I'll bother checking in that case."

Some are, others are more interesting than both.

Album Rating: 3.0

ehh oh boy

I have heard like 4 tracks from this and Morrigan is the only good one. I doubt I will like this that much but we will see. Great review though, pos'd.



"As a whole “I Worship Chaos” might end up going down as one of my favorite Bodom albums. "



hm that's interesting

Most of their covers are pretty hilarious.

Really digging this. These guys didn't disappoint, and I had the cynical outlook that they'd fuck up again after Halo of Blood, lol

Album Rating: 2.5

it's ok so far, i've never understood why people say halo of blood was a return to form when it is drastically different from hatebreeder or something wild when they could actually riff



this is shaping up to be another one of those kinds of records where people will say they've returned yet i wonder where the "bed of razors" riffs or the wild structure of "in the shadows" went

They don't make 'em like they used to

Maybe return to quality is a better expression?

My comment was sort of a joke, I just wish people would stop wanting bands to return to how they used to sound so badly. Personally I like when they go on to do something different, to explore new musical directions instead of just rehashing what they did before. If someone wants that sound so badly, they can listen to those early albums as much as they want to.

I imagine that a band like this that combines so many genres could pretty easily change direction for a different sounding album, which imo is preferable to just writing a throwback album to their old sound and just rehashing what worked before. Of course anything is better than just rehashing the old formula in a mediocre and uninteresting way, like the few albums COB did after Hate Crew. A successful return to form is obviously better, though I haven't heard this or Halo yet, so I can't speak to these specifically.

I was not saying that the band should return to that sound, I was simply saying that I felt claims like "Children of Bodom prove that the phenomenal return to their original sound in Halo of Blood was not in a vacuum" and "return to the shredding melo-death/power/neoclassical metal that made them a respected band within the metal community" are not accurate IMO because this album is so drastically different from their first two records and quite a bit different than Follow the Reaper
