This review is from: Are You Dead Yet (Audio CD)

There are a good many reviews of this album that says it is trash. This is understandable, because it is a massive change from where the band began. But, being a fan of Billy Corgan, change is something that is first met with hatred...and slowly you start to see that is wasnt such a bad change...and then all of a sudden you fall in love with the album.

This is the case for Are You Dead Yet?. If you are looking for a copy of something wild or Hatebreeder...then take on of those C/D's burn a copy, and listen to that. Bodom is changing. And the sound is amazing. Instead of songs with a sting of double base, they are broken up into powerful, intuitive riffs that rock harder than anything they have written to date. I cannot wait to go see this album performed live, its gunna be wicked...

The band is making an album for concerts. They have gotten harder and louder with this album, and at the same time they are leting their talents show through more elegantly, pushing all the right buttons effortlessly. Yes, they fell away from the overwelming display of talent, the almost neo-classical approach to metal, but they are becoming a force of nature with this new album. I absolutly love it. It is just a solid sound that weaves in their talent instead of blatently showing it off...its worth a listen...download Are You Dead Yet? and make your own opinion. If you feel that evolving into a band that rocks harder is selling out...well, i think you are missing the point of rock, metal, and all jazz ;) thats only my opinion though.

And btw, I rated it a 4 our of respect for Follow the Reaper...what a trip...

Well ladies and gentlemen, here it is, the fifth full-lengthed album by the Boys of Bodom: "Are You Dead Yet?". And to be honest, I had actally lost my hopes in buying this album, partly due to the fact that the cover song they chose for the single "In Your Face" was none other than Mrs. Spears' "Opps! I Did It Again!". And who could blame me; an awesome metal band from the wonderful metal-filled lands of Finland had covered a hit from the pop princess herself. "Why waste their time learning that song when they could focus that time and energy towards an original song of their own?" I had thought. But alas, they pulled through.
Though none of the songs are anywhere near the likes of "Lake Bodom" or "Downfall", I still find myself humming to the tunes of "Living Dead Beat" and yelling the lyrics to "Are You Dead Yet?". I'm not going to go on and on about this album like most reviews do, so I'll go ahead and end it with this: CoB have changed their playing style (take HCDR for instance) but I think it suits them well and I look forward to their next album. Check a few samples out and decide for yourself but don't discard this album just because of the cover song, like I nearly did. And with that, I'm finished :)

I think that this album is not so bad.its not like hatecrew deathroll or FTR but its still nice.Some songs like "Living dead beat" and "if you want peace....prepare for war" are great and sound diffrent but great.Alexi said that this album is going to be diffrent then others and it is.i give four stars because i think that they still got it and are not gonna disappoint us CoB fans with theyr next album.
