I think it could work, but I'll agree to disagree.

It was to better emphasize my point that he's not the best item in the band :)
--- Quote from: Felix_ ---They are essentially a power metal band with sub-par black metal vocals.

This is by far the best description of their music I've seen yet.
--- Quote from: thepugs ---and toning the keyboard down.

Blasphemous! :-D
I do think Alexi's vocals fit the music. Without him they would be like every other power metal band (as mentioned), and if that were the case... I wouldn't be wasting my time with them :lol: Another thing that people criticize a lot is the fact that their lyrics are pure nonsense. So what... CoB is about the melodies and the riffs, not the lyrics. Alexi has sadi countless times that he's a guitar player, not a singer and certainly not a lyricist. Janne even went as far as saying that he doesn't even read the lyrics to their songs.

I think it could work as well. But like I said prior, there are dozens of power metal bands that have clean vocalists where the music is very similair to Children Of Bodom. What makes COB stand out is the contrast between the vocals and the music. That's why they are famous and not merely one of many.
Johnny C:
I'd say they're pretty pretentious, all things considered.
