It\u2019s timeless and energy-filled, a high-octane instant classic album filled with dynamite and fireworks. The superhero-inspired Swedes are getting closer and closer to veteran status, but they have never sounded better than right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">M\u00e4rvel produces a sound inspired by the KISS-esque 70\u2019s mixed with the classic-modern Swedish rock style \u00e0 la The Hellacopters. The result is ten marvelous songs one could listen to hour after hour, day after day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s an album without obvious weaknesses, and with some songs that are among the best songs to ever come out of Swedish music. The absolute highlight is the smashing tune \u201cGreat Man\u201d, which among great riffs, a verse and a chorus who battles about being the catchiest part, and the fantastic breakdown with the lyrics \u201cdo you remember the frogs in the ponds, do you recall all the lines from James Bond. It was magic, now it\u2019s kind of tragic\u201d, has the sexiest hi-hat fill ever produced in rock music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other highlights include \u201cSound of Life Slipping Away\u201d, \u201cOne Common Enemy\u201d and \u201cLizard\u2019s Tongue\u201d, but all in all the entire album is worth a listen-through. And if not, at least give \u201cGreat Man\u201d a go. You will not regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Seventh Son<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tuesday is recommendation day, and today\u2019s recommendation is of a band and an album that is among the very best to be released in 2022.
