Our rating, out of 100 — and why.

AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.

Higher than 46% of albums we've rated

Strong songs and performances carry the collection, but remix and live versions interrupt the studio sequence without making a clear album-length arc.

What we noticed

  • The opening pair of studio songs is followed by two 1995 remixes in tracks 3 and 4; another remix appears at track 6.
  • Live recordings interrupt the studio sequence at tracks 7, 13 and 17, so the set repeatedly shifts in room sound and performance feel.
  • The song choices include Swedish versions of older material, including «Surabaya Johnny», «Balladen om briggen Blue Bird av Hull» and «Märk hur vår skugga».

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
