For me, this is easily the most accessible of Children of Bodom's first four albums, and also the one with the most replayability. Where, for me, Hatebreeder and Something Wild had outstanding tracks interspersed with some more mediocre, Follow the Reaper really does not contain one song that would enhance the quality of the album in its absence. The sound is a cross between particularly heavy power metal, with death metal vocals: classic melodic death. Some may argue that this album is more commercial than its predecessors (and successor) in its widened appeal. Certainly the songs contain catchier and more frequent guitar solos (I especially like the one two minutes into Northern Comfort), making the album easier to appreciate on first listen. There is little or no acclimatisation period with this album, and it has the same impact on me now as it did when I first bought it. The musicianship is excellent and the songs are varied enough to retain interest, but similar enough to give the album cohesion. This album is so good that it is almost pointless exercise to list the best songs, and is better to list those that weren't as good: Taste of my Scythe, Kissing the Shadows and the cover Hellion. These are good songs, but compared to modern classics such as Everytime I Die, they are non-starters. Despite these minimal disappointments, this album is the standard all melodic death metal should be judged against. Buy it now!

Whether you like CoB or not, whether you're into melodic death metal or not, this album will absolutelty astound you. The best Children of Bodom album by far. The best melodies, riffs & solos you can ever find in the whole CoB career. I adore this album, each track of it, because its unique: every single song has a distinctive mark and so this album is never boring with repetitive sounds. Comple solos that rule this album from first to last song.
A must have for every metalhead.
CoB are always fantastic but with Follow The Reaper they reached perfection. This is nothing less than perfect.
And if you need a proof just listen to the solo of Kissing The Shadows or Taste Of My Scythe and make up your mind if these guys are awesome or not.
In my opinion this is one, if not the one,of the best melodic death metal albums of the decade.

The best metal album in the universe.
I'm not usually a fan of this more "extreme" kind of metal. I usually prefer 80's hair metal over this kind of grunty-vocal stuff. BUT MY GOD! Read more

Surprisingly good
I don't normally like albums with constant death vocals/grunts all the way through, so am really surprised with the quality of this album. Read more
