I know post-2003 Children of Bodom is considered pretty bad and 'embarrassing' overall in the metal community, rightly or wrongly.
http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/...en_of_Bodom/22
1997 - Something Wild (85%)
1999 - Hatebreeder (79%)
2000 - Follow the Reaper (91%)
2003 - Hate Crew Deathroll (82%)
2005 - Are You Dead Yet? (58%)
2008 - Blooddrunk (57%)
2011 - Relentless Reckless Forever (60%)
That's a pretty significant change of generalized opinion. |
I tend to agree. I liked Relentless Reckless Forever a lot, maybe because the last 2 releases were so bad, but when I listen to Bodom I only really listen to 2 albums, Hatebreeder and Follow the Reaper. HCD has a couple good songs and I like Something Wild though.
Kalmah has a much stronger line-up than Children of Bodom, even though after listening to 12 Gauge for 300th time I think it is their weakest album.
