Honestly, after reading some of these reviews, I thought this was going to be un-listenable. Aside from the bizarro lyrics and off-kilter instrumentation, its not really as inaccessible as I expected.
Not as strong as their prior releases, but there are some pretty good tracks. Cable Street Blues is amazing.
This band is fantastic in their native language. This is some of their tracks overdubbed with English lyrics. Good, but I prefer their Icelandic material.
One of my favorite albums of 2015. Seven of the first eight tracks are just phenomenal and it doesn't really lose steam. The music strikes the right balance of simplicity and complexity for my tastes.
I enjoy this album when I listen to it, but none of the songs really stick with me afterwards. There's not a "bad" song on this album, but there's nothing that I'd consider "great" either.... just a lot of "good" tunes. If I had to pick, Breathless and Summer Of Love are probably my favorite tracks.
