Relentless Reckless Forever (Out March 8th, 2011)

[Brutal Hate]

There has to be depth and feeling.

You should really listen to some other music also, if you think Blooddrunk has those elements

I seemingly have an understanding problem with Thrash, since some people tend to get orgasms out of the most boring and soundscape-less riffage, but I don't understand what it's about. I do however understand some metal that would go as boring to the mainstream (Death, Behemoth, etc.) This being said, I think Blooddrunk (like most of the newer material) isn't as feeling-driven as the blue and green album, that's what I was saying, so you got me wrong. It does have a lot of excellent moments tho.

And yeah, I listen to a lot of music that's all about the feeling, but it's better I stop now because this is a metal forum. But that's what all the whining of late has been about, I know music can at its best absorb a vast amount of feeling, and - the best moments aside - Blooddrunk isn't really doing that. Not saying it's a big exception in COB's discography from this point. But that's what it should be "all about." There even has to be a touch of emotion in the wildest of solos; it can't just be about running thru scales.

One has to accept the intention of my "whining" is not to slam the band (not too much anyway.) I'm trying to speak out constructive criticism and ideas that could fix the little bugs that piss the hell outta me because COB is often so close to making perfect metal, and when this little thing is wrong and preventing that I start throwing things at the wall.

Why didn't I just say that.

Like early Darkest Hour? To me it's sooo dull, but I love the newer stuff. The stuff with Kris Norris, anyway. A lot of my friends feel the exact opposite. I don't get it.

Lussi mentioned getting a "Blooddrunk #2." I'm never really dissapointed with any of bodom's stuff, but that comment really stuck out to me in that it made me realize that we could probably say for sure that we wont be getting anything like a "any-previous-bodom-album part 2," right? That should be comforting to a lot of you, heh.

This morning I woke up to my Everytime I Die ringtone. I figured I'm too tired to get up yet cuz it's party this night. Then I realized fuck I have to play that song on ghettoblaster. Made some comparisons between FTR and Blooddrunk. I decided they're different.

Okay skeletons in the closet of course just came out. So now i think bodom(alexi) will REALLY start working on the next album. I myself had no problem with blooddrunk musically, although i thought the tone could have been better...it's too new age death/thrash for me. I'm not a hater of death/thrash in anyway-but it's not for bodom. i think blooddrunk was a failed attempt by alexi to combine all the album style in the past. If you listen he does hit very few elements from ALL the past albums. This attempt at merging styles gave blooddrunk a style all its own in that sense. I think blooddrunk was an attempt to appease the fans who wanted to hear "old bodom". What most can't seem to grasp is that "old bodom" was written by "Young Alexi" and young alexi isn't really with us anymore, and thats not to say that "Modern Alexi" can't dish out the good shit. It started around the time of HCDR, people started to hop on the "They sold out..." band wagon. FUCK YOU ALL! The music grows with the musician, if you don't like it, don't listen. If everyone would stop bitching and putting so much emphasis on "New" and "Old" and let Alexi and CO. write with no bullshit pressure, they might pop out some shit you like. Now i happen to like every bodom album ever, my favorite is Hatebreeder, but that doesn't mean i want every bodom album ever to Hatebreeder clones. So some musical exploration skills and really think about it in the sense that music changes with the mentality of the writer, and putting un-needed pressure on a person growing musical taste and style only forces them to restrict themselves to a bubble of uncreative mush. Then you complain about the album you helped create. So yea......my thoughts exactly.
