It fragmented ...

So now a new T (i) NC album. Actually, I would honestly not expected. One hears more of frontman Dennis Lyxzéns side projects than actual of his band. But enough banter bought ... album and reingehört. First impression: unfortunately, as already Armed Love a little overproduced. Who sings of revolution and anti-capitalism, should accordingly sound snotty. So yes to the first two albums (even the cult label "Burning Heart Records") that you can recommend without reservation. Here, unfortunately, unfortunately, too much of a good thing. Unfortunately, the songs touch no longer in such good shape produced. Live still determined incredible breaker, but here too ... Rolling Stones, The Doors instead.
Schön: Lyxzén in its best Sweden English singing "Hiroshima Mon Amour"), in "Child of God" and especially "Black September" hear almost anything as "Refused" in Lyxzéns screaming and "Boredom of Safety" would be determined, would have become deleted the soulful backround singer, one of the busts T (I) NC anthems ever ("A Fist in your Pocket, you want hold high").
But it is precisely on such frills it hooks unfortunately. Best example: "Cross of May Calling". About eight minutes boredom between pop nonsense and trying to get a little identity.
Where are you going, our favorite Sweden? We do not know ... definitely splintered the idea behind The (International) Noise Conspiracy. You will not break YET. But the first scratches are highly visible.
