Lifelover: Sjukdom (2011)

Rating: 5/10


Sjukdom is the first disappointment of 2011. And it's a huge one. I'm not sure what has really happened here, but it's really impossible to believe that this is the same band which gave us the amazing Konkurs 3 years ago. No more breathtaking moments, no more rabbits out of the hat. Most of the songs are extremely weak, with uninspired riffs and bad vocals, and the only good moments are the piano and guitar melodies on slower and more atmospheric pieces like Bitterljuv Kakofoni and Instrumental Asylum.

Identity crisis? Writer's block? I'm not sure, but if the band wants to keep their status in high levels Sjukdom should be their last mistake. The next one will be fatal.
