Lesson III: Arts and Crafts

We have some arts and crafts from Norway, the rainy city of Bergen to be more precise. This lesson in arts and crafts is the third one from the trio and it comes in a cool digipak or digital stuff as most music does today. This is also done by the band themselves, not on a label as before. So what shall we then say about this Norwegian punk rock band who just might be the first Norwegian punk rockers I take on. So what about them then?

Well, the many rainy days of Bergen does not seem to dampen the mood of the album which is a fairly happy one. You get happier when hearing it. And it is very well produced, the sound is really good. It is melodic, punky rock music with a fair bit of spirited energy. A very solidly made album, impressive product I think we can say. It is a punk rock album so you can of course not suspect too much variation but there is a decent bit of variation nonetheless.

A quality product and a quality album which I like a fair bit, I especially enjoy it while driving as it just makes the miles flow by very quickly. But it is also an enjoyable piece to listen to otherwise as well, lets just conclude that these guys seem to know their craft very well. Sure, I am not that great a knower of the punk rock genre but I sure know that this is a good album and not only for punk rockers.

Just like punk rock and this album I make this short and to the point, the best songs are the duo of track four and five, Making Friends Meet and Telling Myself Stories along with the opener Blast From the Past which is slightly behind the other two but a memorable track nevertheless. That doesn’t mean that the rest of the tracks are poor, they aren’t. The fact is that every track on this album is very strong and impressive.

A highly recommended album, I think that is all that is really needed to say.
