You're trying too hard to be different and also the fact that you just thought it's only about opinions just confirms that you're plain retarded. Simple as that.
You think anything you say will make me think different about myself, or to act different? I've found myself as a person and am very content with what I do in life; I've advanced in my sports hobbies, I study with good grades, I live healthy, I'm a conscious citizen, have many girlfriends. I just find your behaviour hilarious and you look like an angry kid in my eyes. I say first get to know a person before labeling him all those things.
Wait wait, I never said that I didn't like RRF. Actually, it's my favorite Bodom album at the moment but just because it's the newest one and I'm tired of the old stuff. I'm not saying that I want the old stuff back because I like old AND new Bodom. Technically, the newer songs are definitely better, also the riffs are thousand times better. At least for me. But the solos were definitely better on the older albums and I miss epic songs like ETID. If somebody would ask me how COB should make their new album, then I would definitely say it should definitely include Alexis "new" voice, the technical aspect from AYDY>, the riffs from AYDY>, the guitar tone from Alexis guitar on RRF, the overall crystal clear mixing from HCDR and the solos from Sinergy. No key solos.
Ok, cool. I don't care what they do technically so much, I just want the epic songs and atmosphere of the older albums back. Even if they were technically not so advanced, they still sounded incredibly geled as songs and carried the idea thru the whole song. They had numerous songs that alone would create a cult.
I think it's not dependant on the technical decision whether they compose an epic song. You can create a bad song with the tools they have for every album, just as you could create an epic song for any album. It's about creativity. Simple technicality can be used to create geniousity and seemingly divine songwriting. Maybe the rhythm riffing was easier on the older albums, but I don't see why it has to be more complex to add to the songs; for me it hasn't added anything.
For example the solo backgrounds, I just find the rhythm behind the RRF solos mostly quite boring. From the top of my head I can think of only one catchy solo background from the album, the guitar solo of SKO. On the older albums an interesting background could make an average solo sound good. Also I think the RRF solos themselves lack melodic ideas. This is why I personally feel RRF was made too much as
work project instead of
passion. Maybe there's supposed to be some rhythm ideas and melodic ideas in them but most of times it just doesn't affect me anyhow. Maybe it's just not my taste of metal. I only have to look back at the previous album where songs like
Hellhounds, Lobodomy, One Day You Will Cry, Tie My Rope, Banned from Heaven each have more atmosphere than every song on RRF combined. Even tho some of the thrashy elements were frustrating as hell already on that album. So you can imagine this album wasn't exactly what I was hoping for.
I really hope the band returns to
at least their Blooddrunk shape and changes their style away from the awful American melodic thrash. Where are the interesting songs teeming with darkness, mystical feel and epic songwriting? Don't get me wrong, RRF has some of that, but only about 1 or 2 minutes spread on some 37 minute album. This is just my opinion, nothing I'm trying to force on you or to label as fact... I'm a bit hopeful because Alexi stated they need a change.
