Enjoyable retro-pop, more 60s Brit than garage

i like mando diao, arrogant sweden people are always fun. but this album was really disapointing, i really liked there debut, there where some good music to dance to, and it was a lot fresh then the strokes for example. i like pop, but this sounds a bit too oasish, or libertinesish (you know "dont look back into the sun"?theres nearly the same opening tunes on one of the tracks. and i like the libertines a far bit better). and their concerts was only "okay". so, sorry, gustav. i hope the next one will be better, but your borthers band, even sounds more broing. so at least you are better than him.… Expand

While it may not be revelatory, this album has a great number of songs that will entertain and excite. The album, which some my unfairly categorize as "garage rock", actually has a lot more soul, skill, and force then most of those rock n roll band currently making music.

I LOVE this album!

I preferred the way Bring Em In was (non)produced, but Hurricane Bar has equally as many excellent songs. I think almost all could be singles! But if the energy was slightly held back on this album, even more the frenzy they bring to the live versions. Great!!!

Great music, and their brothers band Sugarplum fairy is also really promising. Love the melodies, the rythm, the screaming, the wildness, the softness, everything with it. And these guys were only 22 when they wrote the music, the young brothers were 16-18, you can imagine what might follow!

music for kingdom and glory, retro rock with new blood and power

THE BEST CD I KNOW! :D

I think that it is a great album. Every song is so catchy!
