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.
