HIMLABACKEN VOL. 2

OMG! What an amazing album. Every minute of it is a joy to listen to. With songs and movements ranging from somber melodies to triumphant outbursts and every beautiful sound in between, Moon Safari has created one of the century's greatest musical masterpieces. Not a note misplaced, not a song that wasn't sung to perfection, and the flow of the music from one song to the next seemed natural, almost to be expected. This album is by far the crowning achievement for a band that has consistently created great music. So worth the wait.

I know, I know. One should hesitate before giving an album 5 stars. I'm thinking about that now as I write this review. I don't write many reviews because there are so many great artists and albums out there that deserve to be recognized and I just haven't got the time to write reviews for them all. But ever so often an artist and an album comes along that needs to be recognized for it's greatness and I believe this is one of those times. So from me they get a BIG, well deserved 5 stars.
