Freshly imported from Sweden, the new album (and already the 5th) delivered by our four guys from Borlange, landed it in my ears A little over two weeks. I really took the time to listen several times in a loop I must confess, before I can write this review.
To summarize the history of the band's debut album is very raw, very rock, garage very interesting, but not this brilliant, differences in levels between songs disappoint a bit. The second Opus more resolutely pop was very successful but we lacked the guitars. The 4th album "Ode To Orchrasy" I think is the most successful to date, mixing perfect pop and rock to a disk that is one of my favorite albums. The last looked like a collection of b-sides from the previous, the same but less inspired, less successful and less addictive.
They were expected at the turn, here is 'Give Me Fire', preceded by a single, perfect for dancefloors 'Dance With Somebody'. The album takes its time to engage but hangs from the first listen, thanks to the songs the most successful album, which will jump to ears
'Gloria' and tone both sad and full of energy, and his magnificently successful passage ballad.
'Mean Street' song that sounds like a forgotten Beatles' back into fashion of the day, and you plate a smile on his lips every time.
'Go Out Tonight' Finally, a superb rhythm, crescendo-song damn well, we conquered.
4 very good songs, the rest of the album is also good, a level below, not as failure, some choruses winded ( 'Give Me Fire' , 'The Shining' ). A ballad
bewitching 'Crystal' , and an album that we never get tired easily. Of course, this is not 'Ode To Orchrasy' but it's already working, thorough and refreshing as 'Never Seen The Light Of Day'. Keep it up, you're on the right track.
