I am sure all swedes are familiar with this great band, but what about the rest of you? They are really one of the best swedish bands ever. The reason I came to think of them was my points was just 747-something (but it's at the moment of writing 7480 and will be 7481 when I post this. Anyway check these guys out! They have even made some english versions of their albums. Anyone familiar with this band? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and why 747 made me think of them is: 1) they have a track called 747 which is 7:47 long and one of my fav Kent-tracks 2) I listened to "747" a lot the last weekend 3) They played "747" at the end of a radioshow I attended as a guest today. |
||||||||

|
|
never heard of them... what kind of music are they playing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They differ a bit in style from each album... but it's soft rock. Atleast "Isola" and "Hagnesta Hill" is available in english (and thoose albums are great!) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw, i have an ace of base album :) and thomas rusniack (spelling??) as for the best swedish band...roxette are top notch! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, i might check them...what song would you recommend? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My fav album is "Isola"... but all of their albums are VERY good. VERY VERY good. they mostly concist of very good tracks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also they have done different styles, so check out bouth "Isola" and "Hagnesta Hill" as they are bouth available in swedish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i'll do couple of tracks from both albums then :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
THEY ARE BOUTH AVAILABLE in ENGLISH I mean :) (well in swedish also, of course) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||

|||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ja verkligen :) im kidding hehe...i can see you're saying something about album titles...maybe :) sorry |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think 1 and 3 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok... but do get track 8 and 11 of Isola before you make up your mind completely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ohh!!! that's why i asked what tracks to pick...now i will have to search agian :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
before it al ends and glider? alright then. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
before it all ends and 747, I think... also get track no 4 from Hagnesta Hill! so many good tracks (I'm listening to Kevlarsjäl right now) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So... listened yet to any tracks? :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not yet...downloading...i'll give it a listen tomorrow if i'll have time...im going to write my opinion in saturday for sure if not before :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok :) I hope you like it, I do - a lot. but it took me several years to get into them, I mean they have had lots of singles since they started, but I didn't get into them for real until 2001 (their first album came in 1995). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and if you like it... there is just so many other VERY good tracks that you'll discover if you just download the remaining tracks of thoose two albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i'll like it, i'll definitely download the whole thing :) and if i'll like that im going to get the albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like Kent... a lot. i've lost count, but i think i have seen them live somwhere between 12 - 15 times. i saw them before their breakthough... back in early 1995. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hah, 12-15 times, that's awesome! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
awesome. or just crazy... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I just checked! 747 is track 12 on the english version of isola! So get that one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really like "Elvis". The lyrics are hilarious, like it's some lunatic poet singing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like them too. "Innan allting tar slut" or "Before it all ends" is such a beautifull song. Another favorite is "Sverige" and "Kevlarsjäl" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have all the english albums and saw them live in london one time - sweet swedish rock - question for key - would a english speaker apreciate the b-sides double cd they bought out? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. I'd say so. I think that compilation is worth getting just for the track "Chans" which is one of the tracks that got me into Kent a lot (but then the lyrics on that track is totally awesome aswell). But if you like HH and Isola, you have to get "Verkligen" (their 2nd album)... Many people say it's their best. If you like their other albums you will not dislike it (unless you hate foreign music [I mean with lyrics you don't understand])... |
||||||||

"I can not even walk without your air in my lungs I can not even stand up when you are not watching and transparent grey i become without your breaths" Ruff translation of Chorus in "Utan Dina Andetag" (without your breaths" from B Sides i think ? Powerfull stuff man! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... one of the best tracks on the album! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well the language thing isnt a problem if the music is palatable dont suppose you know anywhere selling it at a decent price? amazon is a bit exspensive |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all Kent-albums for €8.95... except B-sidor 95-00 (€15.95) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but I guess the shipping will be a little more than from amazon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually... the site saids: Freight Never more than € 3.95 per order. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
another great swedish rockband: Bob Hund... I can really recommend their livealbum: Bob Hund Sover Aldrig it's awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But it's totally different rock... but maybe you'll like it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The latest Kent-track I've discovered (just yesterday when I went through the albums again) is "Berg&Dalvana" (track 11 off HH)... it's awesome, and now it's stuck in my mind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my gf is totally into Kent, i think they have allot of nice track but i still cant listen to them to much.. a bit too slow for me, and the latest records isnt very good is it ? i have not checked it out too much but from what ive heard it's a bit mainstream and far from as good as the older stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really like the last album (although I like the earlier albums more... except maybe the 1st one)... and yeah I guess it's a bit more mainstream (atleast it's different from their earlier albums). I don't think went out to do a mainstream-album just to sell records though. The album (vapen och ammunition) has got several good tracks, and one of my fav kent tracks ("Socker", track 7). It's not a bad album at all, not just as quite as appealing to me, as the previous. But "Socker", is damn awesome... wonder how many times I've listened to it since I discovered it. heh |

for some weird reason my english has gotten a lot worse since I started posting here and typing fast messages based on tiny thoughts that, when translated to the language, turns complex/weird. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
okok, well, i wont ever be patient enough to listen to one whole record enough to really "get into" it.. it's just a bit too slow. but it's still nice and they are one of very few swedish artist that i think is doing a good job |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes I agree... among the best swedish bands ever actually. I am also into other slow poprock (like smashing Pumpkins / placebo)... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i had a period in my life when i was totally into, punkins,nin,tool,apc all types of decent rock.. i still like tool. but it's also kinda slow.. i dont know i just get bored too fast these days.. it's almsot kinda sad |
