I actually think the cover art is pretty cool. Much better than what I expected. My favorite out of their other covers (though I suppose that isn't exactly saying much).

Personally, I think it blows.

Jesus, is that actually the name of their new album? Well, this is only the thousandth confirmation of the fact that Children of Bodom are completely trite and trivial.

Cover looks like something from Mortal Kombat . It sucks, but Im still trying to be positive about the music.

Wow! More album art by Children of Bodom with the Grim Reaper on it? I am shaken by the sheer creativity and originality of this album art work. But I am also a bit deterred by the track names. Oh well, may be good.

Ok, are you people saying the album cover sucks because you spite the band? It is rather cool IMO. Nothing special but still better than most.

wow, so theyre just gonna stick with this grim reaper thing eh? cause that wasnt already done by maiden with Eddie. I just hope this new album is a step back in the proper direction.

but tbh, i still kinda like this cover even if it isnt that creative.This Message Edited On 01.19.08This Message Edited On 01.19.08

I didnt mind the repeated reaper covers but the gore ruins this one completely.

Artwork is kind of cool. But I still don't think this is going to be that great. Average at best I reckon. And the album/song titles are really, really bad.

Oh my god, the in flames one is so bad. Words fail me for that one. The album is going to come out, and the band is going see it, and go "holy shit; we were SO fucking high, how did we miss that?"This Message Edited On 01.19.08

Looks pretty sweet to me. Fits the title perfectly, even if it's not original.

I personally think the artwork is badass, perfectly fitting for the metal genre. Gore+ Grim Reaper= Metal. In Flames art work isn't that bad just a bit loud which i'm sure they did that on purpose to piss off the message board users.

I don't even think this is confirmed so it might not even be their album cover...
I think it's fugly...epic fugly.

worse than the old art, which is saying something.

Yeah, they've been doing the reaper thing throughout their carrer, but I suppose they found their niche, even if it is slightly cliched, but it sems to work for them and suit their lyrical style.

Hopefully the instrumentals will override the chessy song names.

As a pretty much hardcore COB fan, I'm hoping this doesn't fail, but I'm slightly worried.
