Album Description
Deluxe Edition including DVD/Digipak. Children of Bodom has gone from being `an amazing band from Finland' to a household name in the metal scene. Even more technical and more unforgiving than any of CoB's earlier albums, Blooddrunk exposes the raw side of Alexi Laiho. After the release of five studio albums, two live albums, three DVDs and various singles and EPs, the band entered a studios in the middle of the woods of Hollola, Finland to record Blooddrunk, a killer nine track album showcasing CoB at their heaviest and hardest yet. Not surprising, given the intensity, quality of material and flawless execution. No mercy given, no easy routes chosen, the album is pure death, terror and murder from start to finish.

Bodom is back, and yes, it is good. I have been the hugest fan of Bodom for the past few years, with Follow the Reaper being my favorite album. And while I liked AYDY? more than most people, I was hoping that Bodom would put forth a better record this time around. Despite my high expectations, the album has not disappointed at all, especially my favorite tracks Hellhounds on My Trail, LoBodomy and Tie My Rope. Definitely a must for all metalheads.

This heavy metal album is the greatest of the year 2008, if you like power metal, death metal or finnish metal you should buy it. I'm a big fan of Children, so I can really tell you that Alexi and his Hate Crew made a great product this year with BLOODDRUNK... so GO BUY IT.
Anybody knows something about the Metallica's new album?
COB return to greatness... April 17, 2008

Wow! I am really impressed with this new release. I've been a fan for about five years and I was pretty disappointed with "Are You Dead Yet?" This album sees them return to the sound they had on "Hate Crew Deathroll". Fast and aggressive. Definitely worth buying!

In 2000, Children of Bodom struck gold when they recorded their best album "Follow the Reaper" and followed it with the equally impressive "Hate Crew Deathroll" in 2003. Since that point, however, their two releases have been sloppy and uninspired in comparison.
"Blooddrunk" does a great job in retaining the stunning guitar and keyboard solos that Children of Bodom have used throughout their recording career, but have surely sacrificed other portions of their writing. The song tempos have slowed down, the drumming gets weaker by each release and the lyrics are still as poor as they always were (but the delivery is amazing).
The standout tracks on the album are Hellhounds on my Trail, Blooddrunk, Banned From Heaven & Roadkill Morning which all offer the more classic Bodom stylings. One Day You Will Cry and Tie My Rope are decent songs that have good instrumental mid-sections but lack the assault that you are used to from Children of Bodom. The rest of the songs on the album are simply filler that would have been left on the cutting room floor on other releases.
As to the DVD that comes with the CD, it is very weak. The 5.1 Surround mix is, like the music, okay at best. The video for Blooddrunk is kind of interesting but the making of the video portion might as well not even be on there. It is a couple moments of talking, then clips from the video itself followed by people blowing baking flour on things to make them look old. To watch that, you might as well just watch the video itself again.
As difficult as it is for most bands to evolve with their music over time and still sound good, Children of Bodom are doing it but are barely getting a passing grade in doing so. This ability escapes most metal bands, but maybe Bodom can be more convincing on their next release.
Decent, nothing Special April 17, 2008

Well the new Bodom album is here again....And its pretty boring....Despite it having a few tracks here and there that are really good. Its nothing compared to the first 3...actually even the 4th album hatecrew. Some good songs, not a good album..I'm not some elitest metal douche...I enjoy the new In Flames style and always like when bands try something new, Bodom just sounds Bored.
