Calm down
Granted, this is the same band with the same talented members, but clearly these songs are a reflection of guys who are having fun creating light-hearted metal covers of songs not many metal bands would consider covering. If you're looking for an album like Hatebreeder or any other of Bodom's works, you're looking in the wrong place. Seriously, what are you expecting of a CD with a metal cover of Oops! I Did it Again???
If you like metal, and especially if you like Bodom, I recommend picking this up. Take it for what it is, and you should enjoy it. .


Good Collection of Covers with a Sense of Humor!
Ive heard most of their albums so you could say I'm a fan, and I'm still a fan after this!
Some songs like Oops. Stop blasting them. . . . I Did It Again and Lookin' Out My Backdoor are more comical or funny and songs like "War Inside My Head" and "No Commands" are more serious or less comical covers.
There just messing around. Its still Bodom to me! 5/5 for good fun!.


I want my money back!
Covering other people's songs is risky. I have absolutely nothing positive to say about this album. If you're going to do that, then do it well. These remakes are AWFUL. If nothing else this has taught me that buying CDs in a store is a bad idea. At the very least there should have been a label of some sort letting people know this was a CD of cover songs. Had I bought online I would have read this information, listened to a sample or two, and walked away. But no, I got this at a brick and mortar. Silly me!

As for COB - I'd heard a few of their songs in the past, and I recently had a chance to see COB play live - briefly since the lead singer had broken his arm - and between both experiences I liked what I'd heard. So as I was in a store one day I saw this CD on the new release wall. Having liked the little of COB I'd heard I picked it up, hoping to continue my positive auditory experience. How wrong. . . how painfully WRONG. Had I known this was a set of cover songs I would have stayed FAR away. If I had known how terribly COB covered these songs I would have stayed even further away. .


Garbage!
They really f***ed up a lot of good songs on this disc. This guys voice sucks so bad. How's that change working out for you?.


good album
Good album, although I would just download it instead of buying it, because yes, it is just covers. It seems that most people listening to metal are incapable of seeing that metal doesn't always have to be so serious.
