This guy needs a break, seriously. Or a good songwriter, love him as a singer for other bands/projects but can't stand his solo stuff

Or a good songwriter

This. Seriously needs to play outside his safe zone, and a good songwriter in the band/outside supplying him might get the best outta his voice.

I think Jorn, although far from breaking down any new doors musically, has been a very dependable outfit since the release of The Duke (Curiously, Out To Every Nation is probably the most interesting album musically, yet it's one of my least favorites). Bring Heavy Rock was another fine release, so if this new one is of the same quality, I don't care if they play it safe or if they try and shake things up a bit. The way I see it, a good album is a good album, regardless of its originality (though I do understand very well the general thumb-downs this band has been receiving lately). I would really welcome more of his clean singing, say in the line of, how he used his voice on the Aeronautics album for instance. That would be pretty cool.

I wonder if the version released in N. America will be spelled "Traveler" or if he'll use the 2 Ls?
