TL;DR: I LOVE this album and believe it needs to get a lot more credit than it’s getting. It is NOT a “Hatebreeder” or “Follow the Reaper” throwback, and I am so glad that it’s not. Children of Bodom is carving out a blazing new path with this breathtakingly beautiful and refreshing effort. Alexi Laiho and co. have demonstrated a stubborn determination to follow their artistic instinct, despite pressures from fans and critics asking them to put out the same album over and over again. This determination brilliantly pays off with I Worship Chaos. I Worship Chaos is a critically divisive album. However, I would argue that at this stage of Children of Bodom’s career, this album’s divisiveness is actually a good thing: it means the boys are not giving in to nonsense. The metal elitists and the “old-school fan” purists are only too quick to dismiss this album with lazy labels such as “mainstream”, “Americanized” (while neither is true), or simply does not contain a solo from Kissing the Shadows on every single track, and hence not nearly old school enough. These tired prejudices make it impossible for these people to appreciate this album for what it is, and frankly, it’s their loss. However, if you approach this album without a preconceived notion of what it “should” sound like, you'll likely be delightfully surprised. As for me, if I opened this album with any sense of dread or doubt, I was completely swept off my feet by the end. While the solid and rich 8th album Halo of Blood was celebrated as a “return to form”, it lacked a bit of the bursting creativity and energy of I Worship Chaos, which is simply yelling “forget about ‘form’” with every wild and unexpected stylistic and structural decision. The explosive talents of Alexi Laiho (guitars) and Janne Wirman (keyboard) a.k.a. the booze brothers are on full display, freely shining in surprising moments of unusual arrangements. If one word defines this album for me, it's dynamism. Dynamism not only between songs, but also within songs. The dynamics of loud and quiet, noise and melody, fast and slow, makes this album incredibly fun, exciting and listenable. Not one moment in this album drags on or falls flat. Instead, the constant change and contrast leaves you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. This is the album’s most distinctive quality that makes it stand out in Bodom’s lengthy discography. I Hurt opens the album with an intensely catchy riff with a strong melodic presence from the keyboard, which transitions into heavy, rhythmic riffing. Straight to the point and without a guitar solo (gasp /s), it serves as a fine opening track, only foreshadowing the best of this album yet to come. With no opening riffage, My Bodom goes right into the verse, where the keyboard line is nothing complex but incredibly beautiful and memorable. The way Wirman’s melodic keyboard and Laiho’s rhythm guitars blend together seamlessly is a rare feat to behold. James Hetfield once said it’s important to keep in mind that the audience can only enjoy rhythm or melody at a time, but not both at the same time. Apparently, if you are Children of Bodom, you can pull it off. Magical moments are produced throughout the album as a result. Morrigan features a fully fleshed out and stand-out guitar solo that ends up stuck in your head for days on end. Horns opens with a haunting, and honest-to-god old school Bodom riff that’s darkly intricate. Interesting guitar work can be traced throughout the banger. The chorus is heavy, yet finely layered and textured at the same time, which is a welcome quality that the heavier parts in this album share. The keyboard solo is characteristically racing and dazzling, while a brief guitar solo follows that showcases a sound we have never heard from Laiho up to this point. In merely 3:24 minutes, this track proves jaw-dropping. Prayer for the Afflicted is a slower track, but not the usual token “slow song” in a Bodom album, if only for the fact that this album surprisingly features two slow songs which are very distinct from each other. The evocative main riff reminds one of “Angels Don't Kill”, which works marvelously in the chorus as well. The guitar solo on this track is stellar, wailing, and dare I say, even emotional. Title track I Worship Chaos provides a sudden change in pace, with an uncharacteristically noisy and chaotic opening riff that, well, actually ends up pretty cool in the context of this album. The chorus thanks to the keyboard is catchy while being enjoyably heavy. Following up, surprisingly (what of this album hasn’t been surprising?!), Hold Your Tongue is a straight-up rock tune with 80s guitar solos and keyboard that brings a smile on your face. The closing three tracks are simply astounding. The opening riff of Suicide Bomber may very well be my favorite in the album, going into a heavy verse enhanced with some great blast-beats. Changing into the bridge and chorus, the melody led by keyboard can only be described as pure bliss, and the chorus may be the strongest in the album yet. When solo time comes, the booze brothers are at it again: they nail it individually and in their celebrated call-and-response. Going out with a raging guitar solo to the chanting of “we are gonna burn/ we are gonna crash”, this track bursts with youth. While opening with clean piano and a whispering vocal, All for Nothing is a distinctly different song from Dead Man’s Hand on you. The piano sound is crisp and clear while the vocals are surprisingly layered and raspy, foreshadowing how unique this song is going to be. The guitar and keyboard solos at the end take the trademark call-and-response to a new level. The musical conversation between Laiho and Wirman is inspired and emotive. Widdershins bring the album to a breath-taking conclusion. This entire track is daring and impeccable: the verse is brought to life by the keyboard, the quick guitar solo between the first and second verse douses the song with unruly energy, and the bridge following the second verse is pure magic. The best parts are yet to come: the chorus might be among the strongest Bodom has ever put out, hard-hitting yet emotive. The intricate guitar solo comes in intertwined and inseparable with the keyboard, which then breaks out into a solo emphatically. Then the song ends…with a frigging break-down. You heard me. The band called it “Def Leopard on LSD”, which is weirdly fitting. Usually break-downs are condemned as an unimaginative attempt at feigning metal-like heaviness for posers, but that interpretation is the furthest thing from what is actually happening here. Reverberating and textured, the break-down is surprisingly enjoyable. Joined by still more interesting guitar work from Laiho, it closes out a song that is mind-blowing from start to finish. Finally, the lyrics deserve special note and a lot of credit to Alexi Laiho. He has really stepped up his lyrics game big time on this album. The lyrics on every single song shows the effort and heart he put behind them, and they all work incredibly well with the music, resulting in songs that are not only strong but also meaningful, personal, genuine yet tasteful. The same lyrical themes runs throughout the album: contrition, a continued sense of guilt, confusions and turmoil in relationships. The lyrics in the choruses of Prayer for the Afflicted, Suicide Bomber and All for Nothing take you on a ride on that feels train. Even Hold Your Tongue, the angry “shut up” song, is surprisingly well thought out and contains nuggets of wisdom and insights in between cuss words. With remarkable consistency in quality, Laiho’s lyrics are introspective and serious, hard-hitting with emotions, and even gets downright poetic. That’s right: if “widdershins, and hence we fly” is not poetic, I don’t know what it is. The lyrics on Widdershins are particularly note-worthy: while continuing the theme of guilt and loss, the song closes on a note of redemption, hence going “widdershins” on the clock and embracing a new beginning. “Don’t wonder, just let them shine”. Alexi Laiho has become a poet; what else is impossible in CoB’s star signs? In conclusion, STOP obsessing over whether Bodom is ever putting out Follow the Reaper part II. That question is beyond meaningless, and needs to be put to rest. Get on the new Bodom: this is where it’s at. Keep up the fantastic work, booze brothers!
Seasoned 'Bodom' fans such as myself will enjoy this release thoroughly. They've definitely mixed it up in this album by throwing in mixture of their artistic strengths, so everyone gets a taste of what they love about this band in every song. Thrash fans will be very pleased with the album, because it's sprinkled in almost every song. It's hard to go on and explain in such descriptive detail about how different the album is from all their other releases. Going on and on, describing the strengths and personal favorite parts of each song, detailing how much melody is incorporated, talking about how even the slow beat songs are still heavy, acting like I'm a professional commentator of how each instrument is well played to their full potentials. Now I won't sit here and act like "Follow The Reaper" isn't their best work (in my opinion), but fans old and new quickly realize that this release is quintessential Bodom. This is raw, unfiltered metal that was created for metal fans. And what better band to release an album like that than Children of Bodom. Stop looking at all the positive reviews, support the band and buy the album, then make your own decisions regarding what you personally like or dislike about it. Fair warning: you won't regret spending the money to own 'I Worship Chaos'.
Great album from the great C.O.B. everything they do is a blast to listen to. Highly recommended.
I like this because it is hard and heavy, but there is also a bit of a melodic component so that if I force my wife to listen to it in the car, she doesn't automatically go to the radio to put on classic rock. Because we have this rule that whenever she's driving, she gets to listen to whatever she wants to listen to, and whenever I'm driving, she gets to listen to whatever she wants to listen to. Man, I am a horrible negotiator.
I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN AND ENJOY CHILDREN OF BODOM. I HAVE MANY OF THEIR CDS. THEIR CONSTANT STABILITY/EVOLUTION IS FUN. COMPARED TO THE TYPICAL MUSIC PRESENTED THESE DAYS THEY CONTINUE TO BE REFRESHING. THANKS ALEXI.
Children of Bodom never stops impressing. I was surprised to find that Roope had left the band but nevertheless, this is a fantastic album. I won't go as far as to say that its the perfect Bodom album as they have been introducing some slower paced songs recently. But I've must have listened to this at least 10 times already and I enjoy it start to finish. Any Bodom fan will welcome this new addition to the discography.
I have listened to this album at least 40 times now, I kept hoping I would like it with every new spin. Well, that will never be the case. This album is not great IMO, it is because the guitar work is very stiff, and there is hardly any guitar interplay. This makes the whole album seem very straight forward and less playful. To me, this makes it very apparent they need a 2nd guitarist, Alexi cannot do all the guitar work by himself.

Limited deluxe edition CD/DVD, contains a making of DVD and three cover songs original recorded be Plasmatics, Amorphis and Kenny Loggins. Recorded by the front man - who had to nail down all of the guitar parts on his own for the first time after the recent split with co-guitarist Roope Latvala - and his band mates together with long-time producer Mikko Karmila in COB's very own Danger Johnny Studios and mixed/mastered in Finnvox Studios, Helsinki, the follow-up to their previous celebrated output Halo Of Blood is set to raise the game once more as far as gloominess and catchiness are concerned. Optically backed up in it's hauntingly aggrieving atmosphere by Tuomas Korpi's post-apocalyptic artwork.
