5.0 out of 5 stars Holland's best band deliver best album yet., June 16, 2002

By A Customer

Holland's best band deal with the trauma of losing their drummer to a fatal motorcycle accident on their newest album.
Death is hardly pop's favourite subject but these gentlemen show a depth and insight in their lyrics which one seldom encounters in modern day pop.
More like poetry than mere song lyrics.
But even if you don't understand Dutch there's plenty to enjoy.
All songs have strong melodies that sink into the grey matter quickly and don't let go.
But the best news is that Blof's leadsinger Paskal Jacobsen is now the greatest singer in the world today.
His smokey yet crystal clear voice, his sense of diction and his sheer emotional attack transcend these songs to something everyone can relate to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sombre, thoughtful and more mature, February 13, 2003

By	"north" (Heerlen, Netherlands) - See all my reviews

Blof have been one of Holland's leading groups for several years, characterized by bouncing rock with a raunchy vocal and telling -- almost poetic -- lyrics. This latest album looks at a more serious, sadder world and brings a much more polished, almost morose, but shining album. Dichterbij dan ooit -- closer than ever -- has to be one of the best up-beat love songs ever; if you can't sit still for a Bruce Springsteen song then this will definitely get you on your feet. Mooie dag -- lovely day -- is a real goosebumps song, lilting classical guitar over an electric reverb ... close your eyes and let this ballad sweep you away.

Take the trouble to find a translation of the lyrics, you won't be disappointed! An excellent album.
