Just got new CoB and AWK... wow.

[OfSinsAndShred]

A lot of you guys probably have the new Children of Bodom... and for those of you who don't, I only have one thing to say about it: If you've ever said, "I like metal," then go buy Hatecrew Deathroll. It covers most of "metal" pretty well - great album! :hotjump:

I don't know if you guys like Andrew W.K. at all, but this album is LIGHT YEARS ahead of his first one... Some pretty complex arrangements on this one, and great vocal harmonies, and it keeps the energy going. I was really surprised at the complexity and how well it's all blended.

Sorry, I'm excited here, people! Heavy feckin' metal!

Anyway, if anyone else has these CDs, what did you think?

 

[Yngvai X]

Hatecrew Deathroll is amazing. Album of the Year for me so far (with the new Adagio very close behind).

 

[theodyssey]

Yeah, had HCDR since january or february and i'ts been fuckin' sweet.

 

[Janina]

Yeah, I've got HCDR as well and it's great Even our 3 year old daughter thinks that Triple Corpse Hammerblow is a kick ass song

 

[Zax666]

Yeah, HCDR rules!!!

 

[theodyssey]

Way to get the kids started at an early age!!

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Well your 3-year-old daughter kicks ass, because Triple Corpse Hammerblow is indeed sweet.

 

[Janina]

You guys should see her headbanging

Oh well, at least we've taught her well

 

[centipedex]

Yep, I have been enjoying the import of HCDR for months! Great album. As for Andrew W.K., I have never even thought about buying it.

 

[Serge...]

Hatecrew Deathroll kicks ass but I like the two albums before it more. There isn't really a good reason, I guess I just happen to find the songs on HB and FTR catchier. Of course, HCDR has its high points like the tracks 3-6 area.

 

[Episteme]

COB is amazing. I much prefer HB and FtR myself, but there are some amazing tracks on HCDR.

 

[arglebargle]

AWK brings the rawk.

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

Woohoo, someone else likes AWK!

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

@xxChaoticManifestoxx
your sig is just so true dude

 

[Cat5Messiah]

Yeah, HCD is badass. I like the new found vocals that Alexi used. For those of you who haven't heard the Rebel Yell cover done by CoB yet, which will be on the best of album entitled Bestbreeder (or Breastfeeder *snicker*) then you will be very suprised when you hear it.

 

[Kate Bush Rules!]

party hard!

 

[SilentRealm]

i havent heard HCDR but once (i dont remember how) I heard about Andrew W K, someone, somewhere praising him very highly.. so i checked him out and umm..no comment..

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

who is the Andrew WK dude anyway

 

[Connauch]

Andrew W.K. is a metal making guy who really took off once his song "Party Hard" was played on MTV. His music on the first CD is very simplistic, full of catchy hooks and choruses, but not much substance.

What he lacks in complexity he really makes up for with enthusiasm though. He's an incredibly down to earth guy who will call fans up, go to parties if invited, and he's just generally a nice guy who's doing what he loves.

Nothing to rave over complexity wise but great party music.

WHEN IT IS TIME TO PARTY WE WILL ALWAYS PARTY HARD.
