I don't believe that Alexi wrote "Ugly" or "Scream for Silence." I think COB has begun hiring a ghostwriter, possibly two, and then taking the ghostwritten stuff and made minor alterations to make it sound more Bodom. I think that everyone who complains they don't like the new stuff knows, on some level, that it is just too different from what came before. I think any well trained ear can hear that the three solos you mentioned have so very little in common that they are probably written by three different people.
In fact, I do not believe "Ugly" and "Scream for Silence" were entirely written by the same person. I think the RRF ghostwriter left some lyrics for HOB, but that the music was done by a whole other person. Then of course, the cob guys took it, and made a few changes. But RRF is really very different from HOB which is really different from all the previous albums. It is just so much difference, I don't believe it all came from the same person.
I do not expect to hear anything like RRF ever again. I am certain this writer is so disgusted by what has happened that they would genuinely file a lawsuit if they heard any more of their material released in any form especially edited by another person.
I expect that HOB is the new trend for COB.
