    You'll immediately recognize the masterful melodies and rock'n'roll sentiment, for better and worse. [May 2007, p.86]

    As evolutions go, Ode to Ochrasy makes for a particularly awkward adolescent phase, the sound of band that is outgrowing their loud-fast-rules roots but still too timid to sever them completely.

    Ode to Ochrasy is a little more energized, but Mando Diao still aren’t breaking fresh ground.

    Decidedly dull.

No moment on this album is too calculated, nor too carefree, and the band further departs from expected garage rock and into their own exuberant signature song. Fresh album, definitely worth a go.… Full Review »
