I agree with Alexi, the sound of the guitars on AYDY weren't the greatest, but besides that, it was decent. Most of the songs kinda sounded like unfinished demos, that could have been built on more, I think. I mean, sometimes it's the exact album i'm in the mood for, that no other Bodom shit will fullfill. I'm with everyone on the old shit being more complex, original & everything, but that urge for the AYDY Bodom is still persistant. It's still Bodom.
So, building on what I just said, if the new album sounds anything like Are You Dead Yet, I hope that it's more of a finished feel for me, and not so......yea, i'll say it, American.
From Tie My Rope, I have a good feeling about the album. Guitars aren't sounding too much different from AYDY, But I enjoy the mix of old & new. I love Tie My Rope, and I anticipate the new album a lot.
Cheers all!
