"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)!"

More wild Children of Bodom covers

"Trashed, Lost and Strung Out is a neat little EP that served to whet fans' appetites for Children of Bodom's 2005 album Are You Dead Yet?. In addition to the title track, which was the first single from the album (something about thinking of any COB song as a single in the US strikes me funny), there is the exclusive studio track Knuckleduster. Both songs are representative of the Are You Dead Yet album, which is to say they both rock like the proverbial hurricane.



What's exclusive to this EP, and what makes it worthwhile long after the full album was released, is the presence of two cover songs. The first cover is of the Alice Cooper song Bed of Nails. The second is of Andrew W.K.'s She is Beautiful. These oddball covers help illustrate why Children of Bodom is so often imitated, but is never really duplicated. They can cover two very different songs from two very different eras, neither of which is really a metal song, and give them that signature COB style. Plus, their obvious appreciation for a wide array of music has helped them to essentially create a whole new style of extreme metal.



The EP also includes the video for the title track as well as some other multimedia content. Given the low price, this EP is a good purchase for all serious Children of Bodom fans.
