Children of Bodom acquired taste?

[Empiric]

When I first heard Children of Bodom, I didnt like them, it sounded too cartoony. But after I listened to them every once in a while I started to like them, and now Im headbanging to their carnival tunes almost every day. It was the same way with my brother and another guy I know.

Im just curious if you hooked into CoB right away, or did it take a while?

 

[Tut Ankh Amon]

right away.

I was always been a fan of any type of metal.... im a very open minded person when it comes to metal (except nu-metal and all the trash that comes from the USA)
As soon as I heard bodom back in 97 i was hooked for life

i first tought it was somekind of fighting game music It really fits for games like streetfighter en tekken
I really liked it the first time i heard it

WHAT THE FUCK?!??!!??!

 

[FailingAcension]

I loved it the first time I heard it!

 

[EagleFlyFree]

yeah man what the hell is up with that???
it has a lot of organ and stuff but nowhere in the world is it 'cartoony'! the organ solos sound mean as fuck! imo at least

also it has a lot of melody riffs, maybe it's something along those lines... but cartoon? man!

 

[bodomite]

I agree 100% with eagle.... and i think im just as confused hahaha
I mean how can someone think cob is cartoony????
Im sorry but when people say this kind of shit it REALLY pisses me off

 

[Empiric]

Lay off, I think they have a carnivalish cartoony sound, im not saying that its bad. I have 2 of their albums and planning on buying the next.

Its all a matter of opinion

 

[Ketsukusa]

Yes, I used to think they were very cheezy, with those over the top melodic riffs, growling shouts, and video gameish keyboard sounds. but I noticed that there is nothing wrong with that, then they became one of favorite bands.

sorry about the picture... I just felt like putting it here.

 

[murderedbysound]

the first song i ever heard was children of decadence in midi form..
and i thought it was fucking sweet.. so i downloaded a few songs off of FTR and hatebreeder and loved them ever since..

cob in midi is awsome!!!

 

[bodomite]

[Slayed Necros]

I first heard Deadnight Warrior a year or so back..I thought it was ok..after a few listens I bought Something Wild, liked it alot and got Hatebreeder, Tokyo Warhearts and then Follow the Reaper..

 

[Children_of_Sinergy]

Hahaha, you could have at least quoted me on that, man.

 

[ShaneBarnes1982]

First song I heard was Lake Bodom... and my first reaction was, Holy shit this is fucking great!!

 

[Tut Ankh Amon]

@COS: sorry man!
it wasn't quoted for joke-timing reasons
