ALL RIGHTS REMOVED

Airbag on All Rights Removed sounds as if a melancholic Brit-pop band like Coldplay quit screwing around with girl fans, amped up the guitars and indulged in their Pink Floyd obsession. Enjoyable perhaps, but not as varied in source material that made Pink Floyds so great. They basically retained only two characteristics of Pink Floydian sound - the melancholic passages with slow organ underpinnings and the loud stratospheric solos. The middle pack of songs blend into one another. Vocals and playing is smooth enough, but the end result is prone to sounding same-y and sometimes approaches the dangerous levels of muzak. These Norwegians are certainly not bad, but for my Pink Floyd nostalgia I go for Arena circa The Visitor or RPWL.
