    The first half is exciting, accomplished and compelling--but then it wanders absent-mindedly into nondescript territory after the midway point and doesn't navigate its way back home.

    Laidback and tidy, but fun.

    It's a band comfortable with the idea of growing up but like kids trying on their parent's clothes, the ideas behind Aabenbaringen Over Aaskammen are a little oversized but not by much.

    Still likeable in their simplicity, and sweet in their execution, one has to wonder what might have been if there were just a touch more coffee in the studio. [Oct 2011, p.97]

    It's not quite hype enough to be pure party music and lacks the cohesive point of view that fosters a more personal connection with a record.

    "Det Hester!" and "Dresinen" vary the formula a bit with, respectively, squelchy synth-bass and fuzzy electric guitar, while the album-closing "Aldri Ska Me Ha Det Goy" is a oozing slo-mo ballad that layers Endresen's vocals to suggest The Four Seasons Sing Pet Sounds.

    With much of the album sounding like the rest of their catalog, there isn't enough innovation within the entire affair.
