Second album from Swedish 70's retro-band Graveyard and boy is there some good music here! Graveyard is like a lost band from 1970, the sound is very very much early 70's progressive-style and yes the mushrooms are very much included! Great soulful singing with power and cool riffs from hell. Fantastic cover! "Hisingen" is a part of sweden's 2nd largest city Götborg. Listen and enjoy one of the best albums of 2011!

1)Ain't fit to live here (8,0) Uptempo, intense and great start!

2)No good, Mr. Holdlen (8,0) Groovy and powerful slow hardrock with attitude. Very nice calm part but otherwise a little too messy.

3)Hisingen blues (8,5)

4)Uncomfortably numb (9,0) Very very cool sweet nice melody that bursts into a good refrain filled with groovy guitars. Nice indeed!

5)Buying truth (Tack & förlåt) (9,0) Damn good!

6)Longing (6,5) Swedish melancholy played in a 5-minute instrumental song. Organ as a matress and a sweet guitarmelody. The title describes the song!

7)Ungreatful are the dead (6,5) Too messy.

8)Rss (8,5) Groovy and intense and good!

9)The siren (8,0) Same slow bass riff as in ZZ Top's "Blue Jean Blues". Great song with fantastic feeling.

For this album 10 CC's five members had become three since both Lol Creme and Kevin Godley had quit the band and the remaining members took in touring drummer Paul Burgess as a member of the band. The band produced another hit album and proved that they could go on without their past members. The music is more straight and simple but with the unmistakeble bends (!) that only 10 CC could make in their world of rock and pop. It's a quite laid back album with hints of funk and progressive pop, as known as "art-rock". Listenable but not an album I'd like to have.

1)Good morning judge (7,0)

2)The things we do for love (6,0)

3)Marriage bureau rendezvouz (6,0)

4)People in love (6,0)

5)Modern man blues (7,0)

6)Honeymoon with b troop (6,5)

7)I bought a flat guitar tutor (3,0)

8)You've got a cold (6,0)

9)Feel the benefit (Parts 1,2 and 3) (8,0)

Cult album from Czech Republic black metal band with influences from Mercyful Fate and Celtic Frost. Terrible drum sound and an overall satanic evil sound but is it really black metal? They have a very unique, progressive and variated style but not that complicated that it hurts so I would rather call this heavy metal than black metal. Nice amateurish cover. A very popular album among metal reviwers but I don't find it THAT good. It's ok, nothing more.

1)Intro (-) Nice piano/rain intro.

2)Casilda's song (7,0)

3)The temple in the underworld (6,0)

4)Aposipenis (6,0)

5)The solitude (1,0)

6)Voices from... (-) Choir.

7)The wall (6,0)

8)The old ones (5,0)

9)Message (5,0)

10)My name... (7,0) Nice acoustic.

11)My deep mystery (6,5)

12)Freebee (-)

This is the Stockholm based band's 2nd album. It's well produced and the songs are played with passion and youthful energy in a very typical 80's american west coast vein but with a touch of Sweden to it. Quality songs and well played and I like this album, even though it sounds a little too alike some other bands like Crash Dïet and H.E.A.T Good live music!

1)Sleeping with the enemy (8,0) Good, heavy and intense rocker with a strong refrain.

2)New sensation (8,0) Sounds very much like Crash Dïet, a good heavy melodic song. Great refrain!

3)The devil's playground (7,5)

4)Hunger for love (8,0) Melodic but intense at the same time. Good song!

5)Get it on (7,5)

6)Knock you down (7,0) Good but too repetitive.

7)Mr. Money (7,5) A little too repetitive but a good energic song.

8)Wild nights (7,0)

9)Brand new day (7,5)

10)Throne of China (8,0) Melodic and heavy, the way I like it!

11)The great delution (7,0) Too chaotic.
