129) Imperial State Electric-Pop War 2012

Av Mikael Persson - 1 oktober 2012 20:29

 


ISE:s second album and the ex-Hellacopters frontman Nicke Andersson continues to spit out high-quality punky pop-songs just like that and damn it, I like it! Andersson is really a master in this gem and it's a pure pleasure to listen to he's music since he has a tremedous sense for melody combined with catchy guitar riffing. It's not as good as the first album but that is just asking too much. Since the last album the band has played the big festivals and as warm-up acts to Guns'n'Roses and Kiss. The bassist Dolf De Bortsplays inThe Datsuns from New Zeeland, the drummer Tomas Erikssonhas played with Captain Murphy and the guitarrist Tobias Egge plays in The Objects. Listen and enjoy! Great album cover with Nicke sitting on a horse!


1)Uh huh (8,0) Great high-energy, melodic and short start of the album.

2)The narrow line (7,5) A good and simple rock song.

3)Can't seem to shake it off my mind (7,5) A very Beatles-like rock song.

4)Back on main (8,5) Superb driving rhythm and good melody.

5)Waltz for Vincent (6,5)

6)Shelter in the sand (7,0)

7)Empty hands (8,0) Very cool, simple and good song!

8)Monarchy madness (7,5) Short and intense.

9)Deride and conquer (7,5)

10)Enough to break your heart (6,0) Good for 3 minutes but the last 3 minutes are quite meaningless.


Score: 7,40

    Album number two from this incredible supergroup that made some unforgettable music in the 1980's! This is again melodic hardrock with a lot of keyboards and with impressing melodic, orchestral and powerful songs with fantastic vocals. A mus...

    8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...

    This american doom-band has an interesting history. Formed as an side-project by Pentagram's Bobby Liebling and Geof O'Keefe and was completed with Randy Palmer as far back as 1973-74 when they also recorded some material which did not get r...

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
