    Not afraid to be funny because they're having so much fun, Arve-Ahlund-Ahlund are one more electrobeat-wielding​ Swedish cartel bent on proving that rock and roll proceeds from enlightened capitalism like we had in America before our plutocrats started expanding the national income gap up past Colombia's.

    It isn't life music, unless you live in a camp permutation of Gold's Gym. The Air-like, Gary Numan-lite instrumentals popping up between the songs with hit potential are way lighter than air. I don't mind 'em, but also don't love 'em.

    Very much like its predecessor, Devil's Music derives most of its noteworthiness and novelty (and arguably, for better or worse, much of its musical interest) from an impressive, sometimes head-scratching roster of guest vocalists drawn from pop, rock, rap, and reggae.

    You'd figure we'd at least get a one-off novelty track, but the flat, repetitive melodies and gimmicky rhymes even fail to do that.

    Um this album is crazy good!! Totally original, mixes things up a bit and doesn't steer towards mainstream. Check out some of their other stuff! Only problem with it is that Get Mama a House with B.o.B isn't nearly as good as the original version with Desmond Foster. Look it up on youtube, and you'll see this version is a million times better than the one with B.o.B and that it's the best track on the album.… Expand

    It's not fantastic by any means, not earth shattering, but damn if I'm not having fun listening to it! I'm enjoying just turning it on and zoning out on my work while I unknowingly find myself dancing in my chair.… Expand
