Title: The king is dead...
Product review: This is the second album in English from these Swedish rockers, and it's a more accomplished and lyrically adept an album than anything that has been released this year from a British band. Though I hold my tongue. Radiohead's 'KID A' hasn't come out yet.The singer sounds like an interesting mix between Andreas Johnson, Fran Healy and Billy Corgan when he whispers. The phrasing of the lyrics is a little poor, however, and thus the singing sounds slow and a little lethargic. Think of Oasis's 'Girl in the Dirty Shirt.'The tunes on an album are what counts, and gladly, Kent know how to pen a great melody... Music Non Stop is the catchiest thing ever to come from Sweden, and The King is Dead is an opener worthy of comparisons to Planet Telex.Surprisingly good british music from a swedish band.
