This is the third album from Mando Diao, and is their best album. All their albums are great, but this one is excellent. If you ever wondered what the Beatles would sound like doing the harder songs of the Rolling Stones, then this is your band. There is not a bad song on the album (or on the second disc that came with the import version.) The highlights of the album are Long Before Rock n' Roll, The Wildfire, The New Boy, TV & Me, and Ochrasy.

Similar to Kasabian, Mando Diao has proclaimed that their music is just as good if not better than anyone they have drawn their influences from. While some might see this as pretentious, such as I, it actually really really works for them. Without that type of attitude, I'm not entirely sure that they could have made all three of their albums as good as they are.

After looking back at both Bring 'Em In and Hurricane Bar, it's really impressive to see how far Mando Diao has come in such a small time. While I think I like Hurricane Bar better than Ochrasy just a little because I heard it first, Ode to Ochrasy is a great direction to go from there. So many of the songs are true classics and the styles are varied while remaining true to the Mando Diao formula. Such examples in my opinion are "Josephine" (One of my personal favorites), "Wildfire (If it was True)", and the title track "Ochrasy".

Let me also take this opportunity to recommend to everyone who likes Ode to Ochrasy or any of Mando Diao's albums to try very hard to see them live. They put on one of the most high energy shows I've ever seen, second only to Dir En Grey, though in an entirely different way I assure you.

In short, Ode to Ochrasy is an amazing album and will bring even more fans to Mando Diao than they currently have, which is growing fast. The same cocky attitudes towards their music like their previous albums and they show no signs of slowing down, pick this one up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mando Diao- Ode to Ochrasy, June 10, 2007

Mando Diao's new album 'Ode to Ochrasy' has a lot of the same feel of their last album, but better!
The single 'Long before Rock and Roll' is a very fun song.
And 'Good Morning Herr Horst' is a very fun dancing song.
To me all of the album makes me want to dance... And if the music can do that, then it's great in my eyes.
The last song on the album, 'Ochrasy', is beautiful but it's a bit slower. The lyrics and Bjorn's voice are amazing! Very good song to listen to over and over and over again and I never get tired of it.
But really, if you like Mando Diao you'll love their new album. And if you've never listened to them, but like The Beatles you'll most likely enjoy Mando Diao too!
