blew me away

the first time i hear children of bodom was the song needled 24/7 on mtv 2's headbaners ball vol. 2. and let me tell ya, it blew me away. i listened to the song over and over. then i went out and got this cd here, and i was blown away all over again. every song on here kicks ass. i could go through every song, but you'd repeatedly hear the words "awesome" and "sweet" over and over again till it got annoying. this is my first cob album, so ill be checkin out hatebreeder or ftr next. this album is amazing, so buy it. ive heard people say this ones a little poppier than the others, but its still good. if the earlier cob is harder, so i will DEFINATELY be picking some of that up.

ps, try out amon amarth's 'vs the world'. itll make your ears bleed.

Hatecrew

when i heard about hatecrew deathroll i was excited to go out and buy it but also wondering if it would be as good as their last album. after i listened to Needled 24/7 my reaction was damn they did it again. the technical guitar skills of Alexi Laiho are just astonishing and they kept the bodom sound alive with the keyboard solo's. Triple Corpse Hammerblow is an awesome fast paced song that i can just listen to over and over again and the melody is incredible. Hatecrew Deathroll would have to be my favorite song on the album, with its pounding riffs and killer vocals Hatecrew Deathroll just blows you away. Hatecrew deathroll is a all out metal assault with thrashing songs while still incorporating the melodic death metal sounds like those from their previous albums.

Powerful Group, Powerful Music, Powerful CD

If you're even thinking of getting a metal CD, Hate Crew Deathroll should definitely be one of the first on your list. Children of Bodom have shown in the past that they have amazing skill and now continue to show their skill with this fast pace CD.
The songs in this album are sure to keep you hyped up and energized to raise some hell.
1. Needled 24/7 - 4/5 This song has some good vocals and a very talented part with some sweet guitar skills.
2. Sixpounder - 2/5 This is the only song that I really don't enjoy much when I listen to. The tunes seem somewhat out of place and the vocals aren't that great either.
3. Chokehold (Cocked n' Loaded) - 4/5 Some sweet vocals in this tune. There is also some great guitar tunes throughout the song.
4. Bodom Beach Terror - 5/5 The chorus is an amazing part in this song. With the echo voice in the background, it makes for an amazing effect.
5. Angels Don't Kill - 5/5 A rather slower song, but it still has some awesome vocals and a great chorus.
6. Triple Corpse Hammerblow - 3/5 A pretty loud song, which is the great part of the song. Vocals are average.
7. You're Better Off Dead - 5/5 A sweet tune to listen to over and over. A sweet chorus with killer vocals.
8. Lil' Bloodred Ridin' Hood - 4/5 When you first listen to the song, it might get annoying, but after listening to it over again it begins to sound more impressive.
9. Hate Crew Deathroll - 5/5 The best song on the album, in my opinion. I love the chorus with the background effect again like in Bodom Beach Terror. Also some sweet vocals.
I hope I've encouraged you more to check out this amazing CD and I also encourage you to Follow the Reaper.
