Children of bodom anyone?

[Itay]

i've download couple of their songs, and they are pretty good!

what do you think about them?

 

[svenske kocken]

I think they pretty much sucks. Alexi Laihos vocals are terrible and the music is too much power metal for my taste.

 

[Morningrise]

I absolutely love them. Amazing blend of Black and Power metal. I think there is some amazing talent within that band, they really know what they are doing. Also they have realy good musical intelligence, a lot of the solos on their albums are actually improvised based on the chord changes, really cool. That isnt too hard to do, but with their music yes.

Undeniably great musicians, but I just can't find any real enjoyment in listening to their music. Laiho's vocals are horrible, that's what irritates me the most. The other thing that I don't like is how little variation they have in their music. It all sounds the same! I have Hatebreeder and Something Wild, but I do not plan to buy any more of their albums.

One day I was pretty drunk, and it occurred to me...doesn't Children of Bodom kinda sound like Nightwish on crack?

I actually like Laiho's vocals a lot, I think Follow The Reaper would be their best release.

 

[Confessor]

I really like CoB. Their best release is the live cd. Its one of the best live album ive ever heard.
I like the singers voice, the guitarists are very talented and they are from finland. What do u need more??? Oh yeah they have long hair too
And yes the music is power metalish alot, but it still kiks ass.

i got follow the reaper after d/l some tracks, i wasn't impressed , maybe i should give them another listen some time.

*Grrrrrrrr*

I LOVE Children Of Bodom.... I was gonna see them live today, but they cancelled!! (

I find them much too boring. I too own Hatebreeder and SW, and they were both great for the first five or six listens, then the magic just wore off. I find it really doesn't have much replay value.

True , all true .

But see you guys are used to listenin to Opeth , see with Opeth you can listen to them all you want and they won't seem dull , but with Children of Bodom , they are mean't to be listened to ocassionally , like when your in the mood

[transfixed]

To me, the music has it's grand moments, but the vocalist is only rivaled in pure shitness buy Necrophagia's anal vomit mouthed vocalist. It's not my cup of tea.

 

[Soul Forlorn]

I like the music, though it does get a bit repetitive, and yeah I agree the vocals blow.

 

[Onan]

i like the vocals!
but the band itself... they are competent players, but the music gets quite repititive and borin...
