SOMMARGRYNINGSLJUS

I love the Kaipa band very much. They have a rich discography full of wonderful music. I started listening to them around 2005, albums from 2002 until today. Every album I discovered from these Swedes was something new for me and I listened to them again and again with joy. Unfortunately, I could not accept this new album as something that would take me to new worlds of their fantasies. Well, I think I listened to the new album at least a dozen times, sometimes very carefully, sometimes casually. Obviously I had high expectations and thought I was going to hear something new, something that almost every prog rock fan would be looking for. The new album Sommargryningsljus is just an average Kaipa album. Completely copy paste arrangements of music and singing from previous albums. Here and there parts of the songs have some new elements that I liked, but they are only elements of a few minutes each. In terms of production, they have gone further, mixing and mastering is phenomenal and it is a real pleasure to listen to that side of their music. I even experimented listening to the album on a 2.0 audio system and on a 9.1 system. On that side, everything is beautiful tonally, but only that and nothing more. 2/5 is my final rating. Album for collectors.
