Norther: like them a lot, a little, prefer Children of Bodom...?

I can tolerate their first two albums. Follow the Reaper is when they got too cheesy for my tastes. As for Norther, they're decent I guess. I haven't heard a ton by them.
 
Skyfire > Kalmah > COB > Norther, I like all the bands, every album....
But Norther has turned real soft on the new album..
