5.0 out of 5 stars Sweden Strikes Again, March 16, 2003

This review is from: Mmhm! (Audio CD)

With the coming of two great Swedish bands, the Hives and Sountrack of Our lives, comes a third, and in my opinion the best, installment. If you enjoy the music of the British invasion you'll love the Venue. Combining Beatlesque harmonies, thrashing guitar riffs reminiscent of the Kinks, and beats from the Kieth Moon School of Drumming, this brotherly band manages to create their own new sound that sounds old (if that makes sense). From the slightly surf sounding title track, "Mmhm!" to the heavy yet highly melodic jam, "Love Monster" the whole album keeps up a high level of energy. Songs like "Deep-Fried Sinfullness" and "What's in His Head" are catchy but not contrived; you'll probably be singing them all day after you hear them. "Instant Pleasure" is probably the most mellow song on the album, having a pleasant hint of Byrds type country in it, but through and through the whole album rocks. I give "Mmhm!" five stars because they have managed to create a unique sound through the influence of the great rock 'n' roll of the late 60s, a truly great era for music.
