 A Must Buy!!!
Children Of Bodom strike again, having been a fan since their debut album, I can easily say that this is one of their best albums since 'Something Wild.' I read many reviews on this album and for some reason many COB fans seem to be missing the boat here. How can anyone dispute the furious 'Livin Dead Beat,' 'Are You Dead Yet,' 'If You Want Peace... Prepare For War' and 'Next In Line.' Yes, COB are evolving and may not possess a few of the qualities, that made albums like 'Something Wild' so amazing, but that doesn't mean that they are conforming in any way, to modern trends. COB rely a bit less on the neo-classical, in favor of straight up "punch you in the FN' mouth" aggression. Still present is the amazing guitar vs keys dueling, and Alexi's venomous vocals. COB are certainly an original beast and to this day there is not one band that sounds like them. Hats off to COB for releasing another deadly album.

 A Great Album, but still...
I'm like everyone else I still don't know what to think about this album. Most of the tracks are good, but they kind of have the same guitar rhythm. The one song I was disappointed in was Bastards of Bodom I think it's the worst Bodom-murder song (Bodom After Midnight or Silent Night, Bodom Night are the best). The best song on the album is Living Dead Beat, also of the bands best. This album is really different from the first four, i.e. less background keyboards, Laiho's vocals, and alot more shout choirs (a good thing). All in all this is a great Heavy/Industrial/"Bodom" Metal album. It's worth a listen. One more thing, hardcore Bodom fans quit bitching and whining this isn't the end of the hate crew.

 Pleasantly surprised after all the negatives
This album is actually quite good-i'd avoided it because fans of the group said it was an irredeemable piece of crap. This is not the case at all! It has all the fiery energy and aggression mixed with top-notch musicianship that we've come to expect from these fellows. The batch of songs isn't half-bad either; some of the lyrics seem to have an existentialist edge to them. Overall, a very worthwhile record.

 Oh Heck Yea!!!
Guys and Girls if your into Fast and Heavy Riffs and Blasting Drum beats with a melodic style to it this is the cd for you. Songs like Living Dead Beat and Trashed are just some of the great examples of the quality and sound of this wonderful and awesome band. So I ask you Are you Dead Yet? cause if not then you should definatly pick up this cd.
