Blomljud is probably one of the happiest albums ever made. The only way I could see
someone not liking this album would be if they dont like being happy. The vocals set Moon
Safari apart from other prog bands and they are really catchy. This album proves that an album
doesnt have to be sad to be "emotional." The music is very clean symphonic progressive rock
in the vein of bands like Yes with lots of keyboards, but I'm bad at describing music so I wont try
other than to say that calling it "too poppy" is ridiculous. Anyone who says that must just hate
being happy and associate happiness with popular music. Admittedly I more often emotionally
connect with sad albums, but moon safari pulls off the positive emotional connection as well
as any band I have heard. Normally I could pick out flaws even in an album that I love, but
when I listen to Blomljud I'm too happy to notice any (other than maybe it runs too long). It's
hard for me to recommend what kind of person will like this album because honestly I'm
shocked that anyone could not connect with it, but if you are unsure then just listen to a sample
online. I bought this album somewhat on blind faith in PA ratings and it is one of the best such
purchases I have ever made.
