Brilliant album. Very powerful stuff. And I like the nods at classic bands like "Uncomfortably Numb". XD

I expected myself not to enjoy this given that throwback bands are a dime a dozen nowadays. This though...its the real deal. Very impressed.

After many, many listens, I decided to issue this album a ten... I don't do this often, but I think every second of this album is pure gold. =3

It's nice and cute that band plays this forgotten style, but i dont' think the songs are that good.... album is good, but nothing more...

A good album.

I love this album , amazing songs

Absolutely one of the best albums I've heard this year. Top 10 for sure

Listened to this one for the first time yesterday. It makes me remember why I like blues rock so much.
Needs a lot more spins.

It's good, but I don't get why people heap that much praise upon it

Because it's new and it sounds old.

People go crazy for shit like that.

Well... Perhaps. I appreciate certain old sounding new albums (e.g. Ghost's latest which I ended liking it enough to give it a 9), but I guess I just don't quite feel the nostalgia here

Or because it sounds incredibly raw and sincerely emotive. I'm not even *that* big of a classic hard/blues rock fan, but this album tickles me pink.

I haven't listened to it (and most likely won't), I was just assuming.

This is indeed one fun album to listen to

I'm the other way around, I don't feel that much with Ghost's album... The old school spirit wasn't really there, just the music. This guys really breath the genre imo.

This is the album I was searching since I got into Blues\Bluesrock. Best Rock Album 2011, alone for The Siren.

Great album to enjoy the music while reminiscing of the good ol' 70's. Not like I can do the reminiscing part, though, as I was born in the eighties.
Anyway Hisingen Blues is one of the rare jewels presented before us in the previous year, and it would be very unwise to discard this album (unless you're a passionate hard/blues rock hater, which is also not too wise ).

Classic Blues Hard-Rock, Led Zeppelin (Robert Plant)-like .

Damn good i love this songs

Gee this is SO FUCKING CLUTCHLIEK! Epic Win Band.

Why won't anybody even mention that band is heavily influenced by witchcraft? I would say complete rip-off if former album had not been very good but this one is good also and the singer is great. Witchcraft sucked big time at their last album Nucleus and seemed to lost their originality but this people sounds promising; all they need is their own sound and decent lyrics.

There is a lot of similarity to Witchcraft indeed, but I'm sure we all know that the influences come from way past, 70s even. Everyone influences everyone.

All who wanna hear a killer song check out "Samaritan Burden" (by Witchcraft).

The Siren is a great song. Really good album.

Sounds like Wolfmother.

The vocals are very intense and cool, the music takes you into a different world but I cannot help but say that this album is way overrated. From the comments and the ratings here on Metal Storm, I was expecting something that will blow out of my mind (and I wasn't expecting something technical). and boy was I let down. It is a nice addition to my music library but it's a normal album with a special mood. Many songs sound alike and I cannot make the difference between most of them. A 7 for me and just for originality and atmosphere.

Only 10x better.
