I like the one album really, other than that it's all songs that do or don't suck. Which is bull**** since they have a really simply sound that should be easy to milk a few albums out of, but no, they have to suck so much. Either they're making boring power metal with lame aggro vocals or they're doing some lame approximation of that sound with lame chugging. There was such a small window of good music in there that I'm not even sure how they pulled it off in the first place.

Ja they's inconsistent.

They certainly do suck a lot. I got into them a little bit before Blooddrunk came out and liked the title track of that because of I was familiarized with it through the video but couldn't get into the rest of the record. Ironically the extreme metal elements that would make me appreciate the record more today are what made me dislike it.

OMG they're inconsistent. I'd love them to be the kind of band who could toe that line of just making new age thrash by hanging around melodeath, thrash, and cock rock, but they really can't and are probably exactly the kind of band who would try (i.e. decent but nothing more). But they have enough moments to make me wish they could be more.

Probably same. This is why I'm all about Hate Crew Deathroll. It does all the things I want from the band while not doing all the things I don't want them to do. They managed to come correct on one album and so I'll dick suck just for that.

COB are basically just Edguy with harsh vocals.

So an insult basically. Which is basically what I laid down on their "classic" albums anyway.

It feels like it's been a few weeks since I binged this album. Riffs out of this world. 10/10/10

Blooddrunk is their worst album by far though. It's got two good songs or so. Allright, now that I think about it, their newest album (that yellow one) and their debut both suck as well. The rest, I'm surprisingly ok with - it's the redundancy that got me to sell a bunch of their albums. I've still got 4 or so.

I can't believe this song is nearly 8 minutes. It feels too short.

fun stuff from Croatia, kind of off kilter death/thrash with punkiness sometimes and bagpipes and obviously no intent to take anything seriously
