I started listening to this Swedish band in the 80's when they became rather big in my homeland. I liked their mix of hardrock and funk and still do. This comebackalbum have some really good songs but unfortunately there are some songs that don't put up to standard and lowers the final score. This album is their first in 16 years. Conny Bloom and Andy Christell has played with Hanoi Rocks in their final years before they called it quits.

1)Reeferlord (9,0) A hell of a start! Fast and heavy mixed with funky breaks and a strong refrain. God stuff!

2)My hearts not for sale (8,0) What they do best; funk and hardrock. It rocks and grooves!

3)Father popcorns magic oyster (5,5) Nice and funky in some parts but some weird parts and a strange refrain destroys the song.

4)Angel in an armoured suit (8,5) A good hardrocking song with a nice drive!

5)Ten thousand times goodbye (6,0) Not a ballad but a soft song with a melodic choir-kind-of chorus.

6)The house is rockin' (7,0) Funky!

7)Welcome to the high times (7,5) Heavy and funky and good!

8)Sometimes u gotta go look for the car (7,5) Well, that's all they sing in this one. A nice groovy song with a steady heavy rhytmh. Charming!

9)Put your arms around me (7,5) Cool riff and melodic refrain.

10)The day the gypsies came to town (7,0) Strange rhythm and nice guitarpicking.

11)Rollin' down the road (6,5) Another funky rocker. Good at first but then it gets soft and repetitive.

12)A mother of a love story (8,0) Great ending!

Score: 7,33
