| | Amazon.com: Are You Dead Yet?: Music: Children of Bodom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Long time fans of COB can expect to hear the standard mind-blowing solos, pile-driving drums, and incomprehensibly fast keyboard runs, but I believe most of these fans will also agree that the band does not succeed as well in creating cohesive masterpieces as it has before. |
 | | Children of Bodom's fifth album, and their first without guitarist Alexander Kuoppala, is an attempt by the band to appeal to and increase their stateside fan base. |
 | | But since Children of Bodom also dabble in keyboards, orchestras, and somewhat tuneful vocals, this album has a melodic edge to it, and makes the band fall under the "melodic death metal" label. |
