(record review)MILLENCOLIN-SOS(Epitaph)

Millencolin was one of the most important bands to the kids in our scene, my hometown and the region here in the 90-ies. I am very happy that they are still around and they are still up and kicking with the brand new album which I reviewed for this zine.

Its been a couple of years since the last one, so I didn´t know what to expect with the new music. Millencolin are for me one of those bands that are better sounding on the albums than live, so I love their albums very much, but I don´t like their shows so much. The new album contains 12 nice songs of melodic 90-ies punkrock which takes me back to the time when I was a kid and all I wanted was to rock and hang out with my brothers and sisters. 25 years have passed, but I am still that kid in my heart. When the first single, the title song came out, I had the chorus of that song immediately in my ear and hummed it all day long and still do now. There is the quartet of awesome great songs on this record being the title song, Carry On, Nothing(my personal favorite), and Sour Days which are true punkrock anthems. The rest of the material is not so good as those mentioned above, but enough to make this a good album, one of those that grows better and better to your heart every listening. If you love your punkrock fast, without complicating, anthemic, grab this new album by this Swedish legends.

8/10
