    The material on Innocence & Decadence is everything you'd expect from a Graveyard album plus a little bit more.

    It’s exceptionally diverse, especially for hard rock.

    This album takes Graveyard into a new realm, marking them as modern blues-rock craftsmen par excellence.

    While it’s not quite the same deep-dive into confectionary pop, Innocence shares both that group’s [ABBA] fondness for immediate melodies and their egalitarian spirit.

    Graveyard incorporates as many repurposed elements of Free and the Faces as it does from Sabbath, putting more melody into their attack, and Nilsson responds with the most nuanced vocals of his career so far.

    Active fans may be left underwhelmed and wanting more. So, while you’ll likely be tapping your foot and nodding your head, you might also be wrestling with the fact that none of this is new.
