Review of the song.
You're Better off Dead is a more poppy yet thrashy speed demon, with wailing notes that and the high tempo riffing, you can't help but turn this one full blast. With a super catchy chorus, this is a great guilty pleasure.
With Cyborg drumming in full speed and everyone contributing to the sonic assault to the Intro to Children Of Bodom's You're Better Off Dead, Robin whacked the tremolo arm and began screaming to the top of his lungs
Alright!
Hey what's the matter with you,
What are you trying to do,
I'm wrecking my brain I'll never get it.
Did I ever hurt you in any way?
If I did then hear my apology: FUCK YOU!
I'd give anything to batter you down,
All the way to 6 feet under
And why in earth should I stop until
I see your fucking ass drop
Mind your own business and leave mine alone,
Take a look at the real world for a sec.
It's a hell for heroes and heaven for fools,
What makes you the luckiest bastard on the earth!
In the prejudiced mind narrow yourself in,
I'm the servant while you're the king.
Ohhhhhohh!!!
'til tomorrow is a better day to be,
Ooohhohohoh!!!
You're better off dead than fucking with me.
Ohooohhoooh!!!
What if there ain't no tomorrow...
Ohooohoho!!
Well let me tell you, there wasn't one today!
With the beginning of the interlude Starfire really nailed the difficult high notes and Robin began playing the You're better off dead Signature Riff. Cyborg and Beastboy totally pounded the rhythm section in this Interlude
Hey!!! Would you like me to dare,
So that I know why I stop
And the only one step right
And it's raining flesh of death.
This part is a mini Raven solo keyboard part with her playing the high notes which meshed into something melodic in a staccato rhythm. Then came the full solo which Robin still played the riff, Starfire providing the rhythm and Raven playing awesome keyboard solos which now happens to Starfires's and Robin's turn to do the heavy guitar damage with tremolo locking and some furious arpeggio tappings and finally topped it off with a high wailing note.
In the prejudiced mind narrow yourself in,
I'm the servant while you're the king.
Ohhhhhohh,
'til tomorrow is a better day to be,
Ooohhohohoh,
You're better off dead than fucking with me.
Ohooohhoooh
What if there ain't no tomorrow...
Ohooohoho
Well let me tell you, there wasn't one today.
Everyone still playing to full speed till Cyborg hit his crash cymbals till fade and played his Drum solo
If you want to listen to the music you can buy Children Of Bodom's Hate Crew Deathroll album for this awesome song.
