For me, Bodom has only gotten more mediocre over time. But I mean, they will never hit the all time low they hit with Are You Dead Yet? and most of Blooddrunk. I've only listened to RRF once or twice, so I can't really say much about that album. Bodom are more like a commercial thrash band with wanky keyboards now.
I miss their old song writing, because at the time of Hatebreeder they were at the top of their game with the neoclassical scales n' junk. Songs like their namesake, Children of Bodom, had some of the most well written solos and guitar work. I miss that. Now it feels like an aggression game. Oh well.
I'm cautiously looking forward to this new album. The first new song I heard was good, but nothing earth shattering. Gonna pick up the new album regardless.
EDIT: Just read that review adace provided us. I'm slightly more excited now.
