LOL Alexi sounds like Anders Friden during the Reroute to Remain days

EDIT: Okay, listened to the whole song and was pretty underwhelmed, but I thought it was better than
anything off of Blooddrunk

They really need to hire a better vocalist. anyway, synths everywhere, as usual for a COB song... a decent guitar riff with some nice fills every once in a while. horrendous screams, the solo is funny, so not in with the rest. average at best...

The verse structure really annoyed me, how it was chug chug silence vocals chug chug repeat. Wasn't a fan, especially of the guitar solo.

The mixing seems off with regards to Laiho's vocals (that or his voice is just getting weaker), but it was enjoyable. Album will probably be about a 3/5 for me.

Crysis, I entirely agree with you about the verse structure. The silence just throws it off way too much. It feels like Alexi's voice was overproduced or something and it just comes off as... Well, awful.

The keyboards, when present, were fun and had some good moments. The solo would've been okay except for the long held/bent notes that kick it off and put in what I guess you'd call an interlude (as much as one long note can be an interlude... meh)

Disappointing.

It would be nice if the guy would fucking sing once in awhile. His vocals get so damn repetitive and boring. I like screaming but that is all he does. The song is pretty generic too. Sounds like a rip off of In Flames

This is better than Blooddrunk, but thats not saying too much. Some of this could be sound quality issues, the mixing of his vocals seem a bit lower than it should be.

opening riff was cool for 10 seconds. the rest is just so horribly generic and boring.

Why the fuck are people commenting on the mix/vocals/anything, when its a RADIO RIP. Wait for the actual album to be leaked before judging anything about it. Song sounded like a B-Side from Blooddrunk, and Alexi has stated that this is the most mainstream song on the album (most albums have at least one) so im not writing off the rest of it yet until i hear it.

Even though I know damn well that isn't a serious question by you, I'll answer it anyway. It was just an ok, energetic metal song that just so happens to have terrible vocals. Nothing more, nothing less (imo).

Why would you release the song that "doesn't sound like your typical Bodom" as the single?

You can see their record company is forcing them to do this, because all of their press releases now start with something like "on the verge of breakthrough success in the U.S."

The good news is Shovel Knockout sounds like Follow the Reaper a bit.

theres skating in it because one of the skaters (Chris Cole) is a big fan of COB. it was a pretty bad song, the vocals suck, i liked the video cause i love skateboarding though.
