HCD vs. FTR

[Firefest9]

Im shure this has been brougt up before in this forum, but im kinda new here. I have been a bodom fan since the release of something wild back in 98. My fav album from them is Follow the Reaper (many fond memories linked to that cd and college).

I think it was a much better album than Hate crew Deathroll. That album was 50/50 to me. some of the songs are just lame IMO (lil bloodred ridinghood) and some of the songs just didn't do it for me (sixpounder, hate crew deathroll).

I think the track "knuckleduster" kicks some serious ass and It sounds much like the material from FTR IMO.


What album do YOU think is better?

 

[Infernium]

Follow the Reaper. Hatecrew sucks.

 

[LazyGuitar]

I love them both, but I'd say Follow the Reaper is the more solid album.

 

[Peti]

Of course, Follow The Fuckin Reaper \m/

I'll go for follow the reaper. I enjoy almost all songs from HCDR but FTR is more..Bodom, if you get what I mean

 

[Trashdevil]

Fukin Hatebreeder... A Classic from the time it was conceived...
Oh and to the topic I'd say depending on my mood which one just feels better that day.

I like them both, but Follow The Reaper is better.

same for me

 

[HalfpintHenkka]

all hands down, it's Follow The Reaper.

 

[scornful blessing]

Hmmm I like them both but one of my favourite bodom songs is on follow the reaper(kissing the shadows)...Hmm my decision is FTR...I think HCDR is quite different(but cool!). though my favourite album is hatebreeder

 

[brokenWings]

Follow The Reaper. yep. that's the one.

 

[Marshall]

My favorite Bodom album is Hatebreeder (and Tokyo Warhearts), but I like Follow the Reaper much better than Hate Crew Deathroll, even though HCDR is a great album!

 

[gkelter]

I think Follow the Reaper has the coolest guitar/guitar/keyboard harmonizations out of all the albums. FTR all the way.

3 words : Kissing The Shadows

Any Questions?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Ftr

In my opinion Follow The Reaper is Bodom's most shitty album. There's some good riffs and even catchy melodies, but that's it. (and of course the solos )
Hate Crew Deathroll is Bodom's greatest album!!
In 1999 I bought my first Bodom album, Hatebreeder. And that was my favorite album for a long time, but then HCDR came.

 

[perfecterror]

Follow the reaper, that wan't hard...

 

[TowardsDeadEnd]

I'm going to go with HCDR. The sound of FTR is too trebley whereas I think HCDR is the best sounding album so far. Also I enjoy listening to the songs from HCDR a lot more.

 

[brightkelly]

Both work for me, heh

That's pretty correct, dude!
But those guitar sounds that are on FTR, are almost the same as in Stone: No Anaesthesia! album. But Stone don't have that "way too trebley" sound.
