Fever Ray - Radical Romantics

Release Date: March 10th, 2023

I always liked the song, "Silent shout" but never felt The Knife were accessible, so I ignored their future releases, including those of Fever Ray's.

Review: And before I knew that the first 4 tracks here also had Olof, which could essentially make these The Knife songs, I thought it was near perfect. The opening song felt like a rallying cry. The 2nd song has this interesting rubber band effect. And the 4rd track sounded really sexy. I like it when they use their deep voice rather than the high pitch ones. "Even it out" is weird to get behind. I like "Looking for a Ghost" and "Carbon Dioxide" sounded good at first, but i felt like its a waterdown version of a good song. Unfortunately the album gets less exciting from here. "North" is fine, but not something you get excited for. It's the closest thing to a ballad on this album. I feel indifferent with "Tapping Fingers." and then the album ends on a 7 minute, I'm not sure what to call it. it's called "bottom of the ocean" so maybe its a  song for whales. anyways, because its at the end of the album, it doesn't hurt it. but wow, terrible song, skip skip skip.

Summary: Really strong album until the last 15 minutes where it gets less exciting.
