Review - :
{^Hatebreeder}, the second release from Finland's {$Children of Bodom}, is a louder, faster, and positively heavier release than the group's debut. Under normal circumstances, this type of evolution is a guaranteed upgrade for a {\metal} band, but not all of {^Hatebreeder}'s elements are improvements on the blueprint established during {^Something Wild}. Most noticeably, {$Alexi Laiho}'s {\black metal} scream is more menacing and consistent, but this is a disputed topic among {\Scandinavian metal} enthusiasts. Many listeners enjoy the music, but could do without the bloodcurdling vocal excess, while others consider it a critical element of any real {\metal} statement. The value of so much throat splitting is subjective, but {$Laiho}'s refinement of the approach isn't. Along with the shouting, the entire sound of {^Hatebreeder} is improved. The guitars and keyboards are massive and more frantic, and {$Jaska Raatikainen}'s drums are unreal. In the history of {\metal}, it is difficult to recall many displays of pure speed that top {$Children of Bodom}. The rest of the band definitely keeps up with {$Raatikainen}'s machine-gun delivery. Guitarists {$Laiho} and {$Alexander Kuoppala} also deserve credit for the thick-sounding rhythms and quick lead playing. As long as these activities aren't technically enhanced, the band deserves credit for the physical accomplishment, but it all doesn't quite add up artistically, at least not to the standard of other {$Children of Bodom} releases. [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ Vincent Jeffries, All Music Guide
