Libido`s "Killing Some Dead Time" is one of the best album of 98!!! It feels great to be Norwegian when you hear music like this... so if you like Oasis, the Verve, Blur, sleeper an stuff like that, you would defintely want "Killing Some Dead Time" in your collection.

A friend of mine introduced me to this incredible album. At first listen, I thought the hooks were great, the guitars were solid. But as I listened a couple more times, I got addicted. 'In My Shadow' is incredible, 'Blow' is equally strong, and the thick melodies in 'Comfort' show that this band clearly has talent. I am a big fan of Blur, Oasis, and other Brit-pop type bands, but this is my favorite album of this genre since Suede's first album. Except maybe for The Anniversary's album 'Your Majesty', which kicks butt.

The title pretty much explains my feelings, but yeah, I think this album is great! It's not necessarily mind blowing or innovative, but it's energized alternative rock that is good to listen to anytime (and play on the guitar). Particularly, I like "Overthrown" and "In My Shadow" but you have to check out all the songs because they are ALL great! Even Johansen (the lead singer) has a really great voice, always a plus. Check out his solo album "Quiet & Still".
