I've just listened to this song last week and I must admit it didn't blow me away. I miss the classical noodling of the first 4 albums. Anyone else losing interest in children of bodom here?

Wouldn't expect neo-classical stuff on this one.

Meh...the song stops just short of mediocre for me. It's the same deal with Banned from Heaven, where the first few seconds really draws me in, but then the song quickly disintegrates into something dull and lifeless.

I didnt like this single.....I really hope the rest of the album doesnt sound like this. Am I the only one that noticed a decline since their last album?

I've just heard the album for the first time...

It is shithot!!!

Best album since 'Follow the Reaper', classic Bodom!!!

I'm close to saying that it is better than Hatebreeder, and I rank that as one of the best of all time!!

Kiss my arse you cynical metalheads - Not everyone is like In Flames. COB have realised their mistakes after the last two efforts and jumped back in the ring. Album of the year!

Listned to the whole album....what a disappointment :sad:. I'd have to say 'Are you dead yet?' was a much better album than this one. In my opinion COB has fallen so far from 'Follow the reaper' at this point, calling this album beter than follow the reaper is.... well... blasphemy! :P There's no neo classical elements to hook you into a song, no catchy melodies. It's quite uninspiring :(. But everyone's entitled to his or her opinions :)
Just out of curiosity mentalmark, could you explain why you thought this album was better than their earlier efforts?

Although I have yet to hear all of the new COB yet, judging from what I have heard (Banned from Heaven and Blooddrunk) it seems like the new In Flames will absolutely annihilate it...

I cant believe these guys wrote "Follow the Reaper". Its a shame they're a talented group of musicians that just wanna sit back and relax and let the band name do all the work.
