5.0 out of 5 stars Discover KENT, February 15, 2000

Kent have fast become my favourite band in the world! ISOLA (the English version) was my favourite CD of 1999. I saw Kent live at ULU in London, Jan 99, and was blown away. Melancholic, pleading, downbeat, lovelorn -the sound is very alternative (think The Cardigans at their darkest, less hard-edged maybe with shades of Depeche/U2/Oasis + replace Nina with the charismatic Joakim Berg -if you thought Bono was a Sex God, check out Joakim!). ISOLA was excellent but HAGNESTA HILL is a leap up! One great song after another ranging from fantastic, mid-tempo, guitar-led, modern rock anthems (like KUNGEN AR DOD + REVOLT III) to slower, darker, moody journeys (like KEVLARSJAL and the second half of the CD). My favourite track is the lead single in Sweden -MUSIK NON STOP -it's a brilliant, new, almost funkier side to the band. So it's all in Swedish -that makes absolutely no difference (well not to me anyway!). The music alone is blinding and Berg's vocals are soothing on the ear, fine to listen to in any language. You can wait for the English version but it'll be a while yet and in the meantime, you're missing out on a complete listening pleasure!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of their best, June 28, 2005

I have been listening to the english version of this cd for about a year now and finally got the swedish one today! Maybe it's because I'm so used to the songs in english, but they were just a tad hard for me to get into as much as the english ones. Don't misunderstand me though, I have NO problem listening to Kents music in swedish. In fact, Du & Jag Doden (their latest) has been in my cd player for months! Regardless of the adjustment period, I still love the music and am sure the swedish lyrics will grow on me.

I will say that Kevlarsjal (Kevlar Soul) is actually BETTER in swedish!

For anyone who isn't all that familiar to Kent, I suggest you go out and buy the english versions of this (Hagnesta Hill) and the earlier Isola. Listen to them and love them... eventually you will find yourself wanting everything Kent has ever released regardless of language!

5.0 out of 5 stars absolute class!, June 16, 2000

I bought this album without knowing any of their music, I just knew that 'Musik non stop' was a big hit all over Scandinavia. It has been one of by best buys, and I can't seem to get bored of it. This is just so good, that they deserve world-wide success. Track 7 sounds not unlike a Depeche Mode song, but the music is more comparable to Radiohead in my opinion. There are too many excellent songs to pick out my favourites. You won't be disappointed!
