Análisis (en inglés) - :
{&"Privation of Faith Inc.,"} {^One Kill Wonder}'s opening instrumental track, overbearingly proves one thing: {$The Haunted} worship at the altar of almighty {\thrash}/{\speed metal} kings {$Slayer}. The clean, arpeggiated main riff swipes the sense of melody and tension from {$Slayer} classic {&"Dead Skin Mask"} and eventually merges into {&"Godpuppet,"} a two-minute blast furnace of {\speed} riffing and manic drumming that would provide a nice set of curtains to match {^Reign in Blood}'s gore-stained furniture. Which isn't to say {$the Haunted}'s third chunk of wax is a blatant ripoff; cherry-picking the best aspects of one's influences and integrating them into such an entertaining, vicious, and well-written album such as {^One Kill Wonder} isn't a crime, and it should be welcomed with open arms by any self-respecting fan of the genre. As expected, several songs, including {&"Downward Spiral"} and the title track, possess the frantic, technical guitar riffery that adorned the finest work of {$At the Gates} (whose former guitarist, {$Anders Bjorler}, gets the majority of songwriting credit here); elsewhere, {&"Bloodletting"} boasts the tense, midtempo groove of mid- to late-period {$Slayer} and the conclusion to {&"D.O.A."} nods to {&"Raining Blood"} with a clashing cavalcade of cat-strangler guitar solos. The album also further separates {$the Haunted} from their Swedish brethren, being too straightforward to be lumped in with the more progressive New Wave of Swedish {\Death Metal} acts (i.e., {$In Flames}, {$Hypocrisy}, {$Dark Tranquillity}, etc.). However, one question begs to be answered about {^One Kill Wonder}: Is there a bad riff or a single wasted moment on the album? Not in the least -- it's lean, mean, and nasty. But there's also a ring of familiarity to it -- overall, it's not a drastic departure from its two brutally concise predecessors, {^The Haunted} and {^The Haunted Made Me Do It}. It's just business as usual, and the killing business is good. [A Japanese version added a bonus track.] ~ John Serba, All Music Guide
