Best Children of Bodom album?

[Hammer of Might]

Well I've been on holiday for a few weeks, and when I get back all the unofficial sites are gone! I would have posted this in the CoB forum, but this is the next best place...

I'm a new fan to Children of Bodom, and I'm already familar with a few tracks through internet download. Hearing these has made me want to buy one of their albums, but I'm not sure which one to get.

I've checked out the tracklists for their various releases, and I'm leaning towards 'Follow the Reaper'.

Is this the CoB album you would recommend me to get?

Follow the Reaper or Hatebreeder are their best. FTR is a good place to start, and I also think its their best.

 

[Hammer of Might]

Yes, I am torn between FtR and Hatebreeder. Thanks for the feedback!

 

[Psychonaut]

I agree. FtR or Hatebreeder as well. The new one isn't bad either...

 

[Krilons Resa]

Hatebreeder

 

[ffanatic]

Hatebreeder easily.

 

[Hammer of Might]

What's their 'new one'?

 

[Psychonaut]

Hate Crew Deathroll

 

[Niklas]

Hatebreeder!!

Hatebreeder is fucking brilliant. Its chaotic and completely melodic at the same time. Follow the Reaper is cool, but it doesn't have any of the neo-classical stuff that I really liked on Hatebreeder. I've heard some songs off of Hatecrew, and honestly, they don't seem like anything special.

The Unofficial Forums are still here, but the links to them are small and at the bottom of the page.

Something Wild is great too. Deadnight Warrior and Lake Bodom.

 

[FailingAcension]

Hmmm....I think they've progressed with each one!

Ftr

I prefer Follow the Reaper.

Also, the unofficial forums are still here. Look in the grey box at the bottom of the list.

Thanks for all the response. Also, thanks for directing me to the unofficial forums - I was worried when I couldn't find them!

Hatebreeder owns all.
