Editorial Reviews

2007 release of a limited digipak edition of the fourth studio album by the Swedish garage band that was recorded in between concert dates of a gruelling world tour. The sessions were produced By Bj"rn Olsson and engineered by Patrik Heikinpieti. The songs on this outing are described as more sensitive and introspective than in the past. The single 'If I Don't Live Today, I Might Be Here Tomorrow' was released a month in advance of the album. EMI

4.0 out of 5 stars Fast record, March 20, 2008

Mando Diao rocks pretty well on this record.
Its probably their most subtle record, and maybe best because of it.
their focus seems to change
with each record; there is a lot of bjorn olsson here,
string arrangements and hints of country/western, but it
suits the band very well. Ode to Ochrasy seemed a step backward
from Hurricane Bar and Bring 'em In, leaving behind much of their old school rock and roll and punk influences for a more heavy contemporary sound, but they've managed to bring it all together here. i hope they find that one key ingredient that makes them stop searching for something new on each record--that one thing that maybe they hope will distance themselves from other bands. they don't need it. they've got everything they need, they just need to keep rocking. i hope they do.

This is an absolutely spectacular album. Mando Diao is a band that never makes carbon copies of their previous albums, and this is the absolute shining example of that. This stands out in their 4-album discography as being subtle and understated, without losing their spirit. In fact, CJ has said that it's his personal favorite.

All the tracks are pretty solid, but my favorites are "Never Seen The Light of Day," "If I Don't Live Today, Then I Might Be Here Tomorrow," "Train on Fire," the lovely instrumental "Dalarna" [which they dedicated to Barack Obama when they played in Los Angeles the day before the election], and what can be considered a new rock anthem, "One Blood." I really hope it's released in America soon because it's such a brilliant album that shows a new side of a very passionate and talented band from Sweden.

-Maria Diao!
