Well, to say this is rough around the edges is an understatement. This mix of Hardcore and Punk is about as politically incorrect as it can get, with the band never shying away from what they seem to love: Sexism. From start to finish, this album is full of hate, but served in an almost humerous way. Once even played on Howerd Stern’s radio show, The Raunchous Brothers are, in my opinion, a rather talented band. While their musical subjects may never earn them mainstream love, the album is actually quite well worked. Songs such as Womens Lib have quite a catchy sound in my opinion, even if you wouldn’t want to go singing it in public. I feel this album is quite worth it, although it is on the short side, and it may certainly not be for everyones tastes. I’d suggest giving it a listen with an open mind before you base your opinion on the lyrics, and maybe you will like this album as I did.

This album is a brilliant offering from Chidren of Bodom, dark, with fast riffs, pounding drums, bass lines and keyboard playing to rival the best. Perfectly accompanied by Alexi Laiho’s growls, this album is my personal favorite Children of Bodom album, offering melodious guitars, well suited drums and striking lyrics. Songs that particularly stood out for me were Warheart, Silent Night,Bodom Night, Bed of Razors and Towards Dead End. The speed and technicality of this album, as well as the brilliant production, and the great performance by Bodom (especially considering this was only their second album under this name) combine to make one angry, beautiful masterpiece. This is a great album to get if you  are interested in the Scandinavian Metal scene, as it really is a top class example of why this band has become so popular within the metal genre.  Overall, this is my favourite Bodom album, and the second one I ever got. So if this is your thing, I would advise giving this album a try, in my view it is well worth it.
