Good but not the best
This album has very similar tracks throughout, but is a good album for a fan of Children of Bodom.

COB is amazing!
This album is just as good as if not better than Hatebreeders. If you like the new album BlOodDrunk youll like this album even more.Yeah!

super!
this is a great album, the songs are intense!! children of bodom have the talent of creating hard core songs without loosing a varied melody. the instrumentals are technically awesome and have a sufficient range giving each song it's own flavour and unlike a lot of other artists i don't confuse one song with another. on this album i'd have to say that my preferred track is are you dead yet?. i've loved this song for quite some time and no matter how many time i listen to it it never gets old or repetitive. next i guess would be living dead beat and trashed, lost and strung out... but honestly all the tracks are pretty good.

its my world ...your in it ..
..after reading some of these reviews , wanted to boost the ratings. i own four COB albums , and this gets played as much as the others, some brilliant music on here , punch me i bleed , trashed lost ,in your face ...highly recommended , dont think twice if your a fan

pretty damn good
Just started listening to metal, and this group rocks pretty hard.

Going by these reviews that hate this album, apparently more clean vocals = selling out. So sell out, COB, sell out! If it makes any difference, you still can't really tell what the hell he is saying.

Listen to the end of Are You Dead Yet?, Next In Line, and several others, and I wouldn't call that 'soft music'.

Anyway, I'd suggest this to people trying to get into metal but can't because the vocals you either have to get really used to or ignore completely to be able to enjoy. I'd put this down as something you have to get used to, but at least it isn't crappy like death or black metal vocals or cheesy like a lot of power metal.

Favorites:
Are You Dead Yet?
Somebody Put Something In My Drink
If You Want Peace... Prepare For War

Next In Line has a great intro and ending.

Hardest rockers on this album, I would say would have to be 3, 7 and 8.
