Disco de Children of Bodom: “Trashed, Lost & Strung Out [EP]”

It has the COB feel to it but definately not one of their best. The video clip of them wandering around drunk is pretty amuzing though especially if you've had a few yourself :) Overall if you're a true Children of Bodom fan you might be slightly disappointed although they still have talent.

children of bodom have done it again. although there where only 2 new songs, it was as good as a whole album.

trashed lost & strungout- shows off alexi laiho's amazing guitar skills. the solo was evident of laihos steve vai obscetion.

knuckleduster- another great song. drumming was very good. solo wasnt as good as the one in tlso, but it was still excellent. laihos voice rang like a church bell in this song.

bed of nails(alice cooper cover)- this cover was very good not as good as the original but cob's interpretation kept this classic alive.

she is beautiful(andrew wk cover)-in my opinion alexi laihos voice doesnt really fit the nature of this song. but it made it sound heavier.

Alexi does the best job of guitar solos with high distortion that I've ever heard! The song Lost, Trashed, and Strungout is my favorite, and the CD is definately a must for me, and any other COB fan! 5 stars (6 in my book but amazon.com won't let me)!

This EP introduced the band's more current modern sound as they have come to embrace even to this day. The title track of the EP stands as among the best songs this band has ever conceived, it is a catchy escapade into dirty de-tuned riffing and smooth melodies. "Knuckleduster" is a really simple stop start riff that would have probably been the second best song had they also included it on "Are You Dead Yet" along with "Trashed, Lost & Strungout". "She Is Beautiful" is a bad cover, but then again this band is known for their often horrid interpretations of already established songs. The cover of Alice Cooper's "Bed of Nails" isn't really all that much better. I think the band was pretty energized by their change of direction and heavier approach on the two originals, it's a shame the enthusiasm on here didn't really continue onto "Are You Dead Yet?".
