That's interesting, because I actually enjoyed their latest album quite a lot. Sure, Kita's voice really is missing, but once you get past that, the sound is still great.

I found it to be a bit heavier in style again, and the slightly more synth-y sound creates a nice, "spooky" atmosphere.

Lordi has certainly changed, but not neccessarily for the worse IMO.

I dont think its worse by any stretch of the imagination. I just dont like it as much. The think is with Lordi, is they have a different tone every album which I respect. If its more dark and heavy then Id say its a mix between Deadache and Monsterican Dream. B for B was quite comedic in that regard and while I thought that Arockalypse was the most easy to listen to. Get heavy, IMO was a mix between 2, 3 and a little bit of 5.

Its hard to say which one I like the most and to be fair, I wasnt a massive fan of B for B when it first came out and now I strongly beleive it to be one of their best. Ill keep with it as its not exactly a strain on the ears.
