5.0 out of 5 stars Music that transcends language, May 20, 2006

By

This review is from: Duu & Jag Doden (Audio CD)

Absolutely mesmerizing is how to describe the music of Kent. Forget about understanding Swedish, that's the sheer brilliance of their music. You know what the songs try to convey and lead singer Joakim Berg exudes so much feeling and emotion that you're moved by one song after the other. The first five tracks of "Du & Jag Doden", in my opinion, are the best first five tracks of any album, hands down. If you still need to hear English lyrics to grasp their music, check out "Isola" and "Hagnesta Hill" as a sampler. You'll be floored as to why they've been so obscure in the Britpop scene, even though they're not British. Then take a chance with their following releases in Swedish, "Vapen and Ammunition" and of course "Du & Jag Doden". Absolutely mesmerizing. It's heartbreaking to know that they might never tour the US and I've had to contemplate a trip to Norway or Sweden in order to see them at least once in my life. But don't deprive yourself of music that may turn into the soundtrack of your life. It's become my soundtrack and will always be.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great album!, April 29, 2005

This review is from: Duu & Jag Doden (Audio CD)

I have been a Kent fan since Isola and own all releases from Verkligen to now. Du & Jag Doden is an incredible cd, in my opinion their best. It may take a little longer to absorb than other Kent cd's. If you are taking a road trip then this is the perfect cd. It's been said a million times before, but I'll say it anyway: Don't be turned off buying this album because of the Swedish vocals.

GO BUY THIS CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kent gets better and better, love it!, August 14, 2006

I feel compel to write a review because I want people to know what a great band they are. I've been a fan since their Isola album and I own all their full length albums. "Du & jag döden" means "You and I Death", and it took me about two listens to fall in love with it.

Palace & Main and Max 500 are the rockin' standout singles no doubt, though my new favorites on the album are the quieter Den Döda Vinkeln and Klåparen. Do not let this CD cover deceive you, this is not punk/goth/metal. If you like melody driven guitar based music, do check out this band.
