Children Of Bodom | Blooddrunk Review…Not Even Buzzed
April 15, 2008 by Scott
So today was the big day I’ve been eagerly waiting for. The release of Children Of Bodom’s Blooddrunk. After Buying Hate crew Deathroll and Are You Dead Yet? I was pretty revved up to hear more and new stuff from Children Of Bodom. Unfortunately everyone was right. Blooddrunk, while still a pretty good CD, it just doesn’t do a lot for me. Disappointing a little.
I hate the compare it to other C.O.B. cds because I only have two others, but compared to Hatecrew, Blooddrunk is just a mediocre release. Compared to Are You Dead Yet? it is ok…but still not great. The title track, Blooddrunk, Banned From Heaven, Tie My Rope, and Roadkill Morning are the best out of the nine. It also came with a bonus DVD that I haven’t watched yet. Well it’s not much of a DVD, it’s all the Blooddrunk songs in 5.1 Dolby digital surround sound and the Blooddrunk Video and Making of. Perhaps Blooddrunk will grow on me after a few more listens. We’ll see.

I forgot to mention that the Cover of Ghostriders in the sky was pretty cool
Why is it mediocre?
I guess I just expected more after hearing the Blooddrunk and Banned From Heaven singles, but I’ve been listening to it more today and I’m starting to like it a lot more. It took me a bit to get into Are You Dead Yet? but I dig that one a lot more now too.
all i have to say is the cd is amazing but old ones i have to agree were better but i love the sound of the new album and cant wait to seethem on may 6th
Yea i would say that the first time i listend to this i was kinda like ehh. as soon as i hit the “Lobodomy” and “Tie My Rope” solos, i was prty impressed. good job Bodom. like always
love the song Lobodomy its by far the best song on there
