5 out of 5 stars Kent keeps on amazing.......2002-10-16

Undoubtedly one of the best bands to emerge from Sweden in the nineties, Kent keeps on amazing everyone by getting better and better. Maybe because it was the first Kent album I got, Isola is my favorite, although their "B-Sidor 95-00" also contains many beauties... Kent makes beautiful, melancholic popsongs with a very own sound. Sometimes songs are dominated by raw guitars, others are fine balads with just piano and Joakim Berg's beautiful voice, true gems in fact. Just listen to the raw but melodious guitarsounds on "Livräddaren" and "Om du var här" (a smashing hit in Sweden in 1997) and contrast it with for example "OWC" on Isola and you know exactly what I mean. Isola is also available in an English version, but if you truly want to know what Kent is about I suggest you take a course in Swedish, drive your car some thousand kilometers along the deserted roads of Northern Sweden, and play Kent on your car stereo... loud!

5 out of 5 stars Pinnacle of Scandanavian Rock.......2002-10-14

Perhaps they won't rule the U.S. air waves ever. Perhaps they won't be as known as ABBA, but make no mistake about it, Kent is quality rock. At first you might think that they lack depth, but upon closer inspection, you start to see the charm of this band.

This album shines from the 1st to the last track. If you are fortunate to discover this band, you'll find that they have made an outstanding album and it's a shame that we won't see them here any time soon.
