Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet

ok loads of people have been giving this album crap (not here but elsewhere)
honestly its a very good album
maybe not as good as hatebreeder or something wild but
as good as almost anything nowadays
especially emo ewww emo
ok im gonna rate each song on it, let me know what you think

Living Dead Beat - Good song. A lot like the older stuff Latvala and Laiho work together well on this one. A tad boring for me though. 8/10

Are You Dead Yet - Laiho sounds great on this one, i can understand what hes saying. His guitars go along nicely. Very catchy. It gets annoying since its the only COB song anyone knows but w.e. still good 9/10

If You Want Peace... Prepare For War - Excellent track. Jaska's drums sound really good here, pounding, and in pace to Alexi and Roopes guitars. Roope isnt very prominent, but he is the back up guitar player. 10/10

Punch Me, I Bleed - The solo is incredible. This is in my opinion one of Alexi's top three solos of all time including Hatebreeder and the Singergy stuff. Really good. Solo alone gives it a ten. Riff is really boring and slow. But the solo is beast. 10/10

In Your Face - Best all together song on the album. Great solos from Janne and Alexi. Riff is slow but very good. Catchy 10/10

Next In Line - Very nice riff. The drums mold well together with the riff. Good song but isnt as good as the rest of the album. 7/10

Bastards of Bodom - Weakest track. Seems a bit rushed and hasty. 5/10

Trashed, Lost and Strungout - Great intro. Great solo. Great song for Alexi. Not so much for everyone else, cept maybe Janne. 9/10

We're Not Gonna Fall - Chorus is really good and catchy. Makes you want to go and do something, not sure what but the feeling is there. Solo is once again really good. 8/10

Somebody Put Something In My Drink - As good as the Ramones version. Alexi's solo is hmmm let me think AMAZING. Comes together as a great song. Good way to end the album. Cant get a perfect because it is a cover after all. 9/10


So adding that up is 85/100 or for those who cant divide 8.5/10 so a very solid album i recomend it. Oh yeah. STOP HATING ON IT.
