when I heard AYDY for the first time I had immediate flashbacks of St. Anger. I quickly played the first 30 seconds to a minute of the tracks, turned it off and walked away pissed. Well after I was done crying and having nightmares I decided to give it another shot. I listened and listened and eventually this crappy new album became another bodom masterpeice, I can't describe how pleased I am with this album, I thought they could have never topped Hatebreeder or FTR but this album has everything.
Living Dead Beat is sooo deadly, there are 3 or 4 killer riffs in that song, fast drumming, an amazing solo that brings me back to ...and justice for all a bit for some reason. a catchy chorus some wicked, pinch harmonics, I LOVE THIS SONG.
ARE YOU DEAD YET was the first track i liked. it starts with the signature laiho YOOOOW!!! a catchy riff, and a bridge that is just SO BODOM. another catchy chorus. I can only wait to see this song live on november 22nd!
if you want peace prepare for war pretty much speaks for itself, it's a shredfest unlike any bodom before. with the signature duel soloing, and awesome lead guitar riffs, and creepy piano.
I could tell you this about every song on the album. Every day I discover a new song on this album that I put on repeat, the riffs, the catchy choruses the solos, and I can hear bass on a metal album... shiet
Critics are right though on one thing, It is no Hatebreeder or Follow The Reaper it's Bran New bodom that kicks some serious ass.
I fucking love this album.
