    The songwriting on I Worship Chaos is impressive, as if the quartet format forced COB to focus on delivering tunes of real substance before anything else. The performances are equally inspired--the material is so good, it challenge the musicians to pull it off.

    I Worship Chaos isn’t necessarily the best Children Of Bodom album but it’s as good as the best of what the band has done to date and nine albums in that’s remarkable.

    Breaking up the band's predictable metal onslaught is the mid-tempo stomp of "Morrigan," the slow-burning "Prayer for the Afflicted" and the ballad-esque "All for Nothing." While they're each a welcome reprieve from the sameness, these moments inadvertently temper any more chaos that could have perhaps been unleashed.

    It's all formula though, and fresh ingredients are few and far between. [3 Oct 2015, p.52]

    My favourite CoB album is Hate Crew Deathroll, but I truly dig this one too. Without Roope, there are less complex dual guitar melodies, butMy favourite CoB album is Hate Crew Deathroll, but I truly dig this one too. Without Roope, there are less complex dual guitar melodies, but the magic Alexi performs on one guitar is captivating. Also the vocals are awesome, with Alexi sounding mean. This album has slowly grown on me, I did not feel much for it at first, but now I hammer trough it a few times a week, and I think the album is great. It is heavy and powerful, with such unapologizing style. Keep on delivering, CoB!!!… Expand

    After taking two steps forward with Halo of Blood, they've taken two steps back and fall back into the rut they found themselves in with RRF.After taking two steps forward with Halo of Blood, they've taken two steps back and fall back into the rut they found themselves in with RRF. With the unfortunate departure of Roope Latvala, solos are filled with Janne Wirman's keyboards, providing a less than satisfactory experience.… Expand
