“The resistance”
Muse
(Warner)
The British trio’s fifth album finishes off with a symphony in three parts.
With Hollowood string invoking the european music heritage of classical music, romantic(silly..)lyrics and verses and riffs blown out of proportion to fit the whole stadium experience it’s at least, well entertaining.

I think thewhole trio sould wear that out of space jacket
It’s hard to neglect references to QUEEN and overall they are not totally “out there”. Suprising!
Best track “United states of euroasia”.
7/10

“The darker instinct”
Takida
(Universal)
The follow-up to the Swedes big success, “Bury the lies” would’ve, according to himself, be much “darker” then his first.
Dark?
The promised darkness fail to come however and instead we get the superslick high-school-rock we got nagged to death with before. It’s soul less and mainstreem over the tops.

Sean Paul

Upon the release of his last album, The Trinity, in 2005 Sean Paul expressed how his next album would not be the dancefloor flirty music we’re used to hear from him but instead reflect the life(and violence) in his home country, Jamaica.
It’s dissapointing to establish that Sean somewhere along the road forgot his […]

Not so cocky anymore?
The concert was interupted for half an hour, however many fans turn down the offer. Maby Oasis finally learned to appreciate its fans..

On their third album in a row the Swedish quartet lets loose all the way. You get their floating rock, dancing soul and whining pair-dancing tracks.

6 years after the Swedish soul artists debut the album-title hints a more confident, flirty tone from the artist. That’s also something the lyrics witness about but the music however don’t.

Swedish Mattias Edlund, the singer who ten years ago sent his dog in to outer space in that Motorhomes video is back. On I am John he’s accompanied Jocke and Markus from Kent and Andreas from Popsicle. It’s a flirt to emo-pop, radio-friendly emo-pop and somehow very bland. Big disappointment.

Can’t say I’m suprised, the English Fatboy also known as Norman Cook have looked pretty worn out lately and as his manager confirms it’s because of his Alcohol-abuse.
Earlier Cook commented his abuse “sometimes it feels undignified but I never seem to get tired of getting drunk”. He’s at a clinic in South-England.
