Title: Uh-oh...
Product review: Words cannot even express my disapointment with this album. These guys are one of the best metal bands ever, and easily the best since Pantera stumbled out of a mysterious bar in Texas. Alexi Laiho and Janne Warmen are virtuosos at their respective instruments. Here is my hypothosis at what went wrong with this album... Alexander K. left the band, and I think that without him the styles of this band changed dramatically after the addition of Roope Latvala. Not in a good way either. This is simplified, un-melodic, and not very good sounding. If you a hardcore COB fan like I am, then you are extemely disapointed. Their best work ever was on Follow the Reaper, with Hatebreeder at a close second. I am an American, and even I know when to use the term "American Sounding". This is it. Sellout album for this band, and they will never ever be the same. You guys have left true fans in the to Kiss the Shadows alone. :(
