what happend to children of bodom?

[xMetal_RockerX]

i just listened to their new cd and i was deffinatly dissapointed. the riffs were nothing like any of the previous albums. they lost most of their keyboard melodys and alexis singing sounded like he was just yelling most of the time.

it doesnt even sound like the same band. i would have much rather heard another sound close to Something Wild of Follow the Reaper.


anyone else dissapointed with the new cd?

 

[Bastard child]

No their new cd is ok but about the vocal i agree on that. I liked his voice on hb and Something wild...but anyway the new cd have differents and kick ass melodies. I like especially were not gonna fall!

i loved the new keyboard melody on in your face. the rest of that song sucked for the most part.

and ya i agree, something wild was one of his best performances. i guess ill just stick to the old cds from now on.

i think it totally sucks as an album, and i'm quite disappointed that such a great band has sunk so low.

i was dissapointed but ehhh all bands change.... it was only a matter of time with cob

You guys are just not open changes. It's like when kids go to college, at first yeah, they don't like it (most of them) because they're used to High school and all that, but once they get the hang of it they find that it's really not that bad.


That's the best analogy I can use, I know I didn't like HCDR when it came out, but now it's like, "Man every song on this cd kicks ass!"

 

[xMetal_RockerX]

i dont think this is gonna happen for this cd unless your music tastes change dramatically. i dont see why bands like changing the way they play. i mean they have fans for a reason, not just because we want to like them. but then again if i got tired of playing the same way everytime then id probly change how i played 2.

 

[EagleFlyFree]

i like the album though the 2nd half isn't quite as solid as the first one.

not open to change? i've stuck through when bands like Opeth totally changed from metal to mellow and back again, i've stuck through with ozzy with every guitarist change he's done, i've stuck through with COB on their last "change"(HCDR, i think its a great album, have since day 1), this album is shit, theres no getting around it...

And Children of Bodom are Death Metal Not Black Metal.. replace them with Naglfar in your sig

i thought of them more as thrash with keyboards before this new album, they definately don't fit in the death metal category.

heeeere we go again

Most people would demand that you remove CoB, Kalmah, Behemoth, Opeth and CoF from that signature I only suggest you remove the first 4, so you don't look a complete fool

 

[xMetal_RockerX]

i know that they arent black metal. i didnt make this sig, i just thought it looked cool.

If you're into Tr00 norsk Blak metal then Children of bodom isn't your band.

 

[DeathPact]

all you bitches will change your views once they start playin all this live , Alexi spices his songs up live so chill out be cool. The wheel of time turns, so id say whe are almost full circle so maby the next album wil be Something Wild take2, lol just listen to how use to whe have gotten, "something wild" thats probably the most shittest metal album name ever, it fits more to britney spears!
AYDY is just 1 album not the fucking end of the band!

Yeah, I have a feeling that some of these new songs are gonna kick lots of ass live .
And for the album, I was a little disappointed at first, but I gave it about ten spins and it starts to sound more than decent. Still, not the best CoB album, though.

I am, and COB is my band

But true.. they are far away from being BM, even though some of the influences on SW

 

[Heavenscent]

Change doesn't necessarily means improvement.
