Higher than 79% of albums we've rated

Strong melodic writing and folk-colored strings give the punk attack a recognizable character; the deliberate opening and closing sequence helps the album hold together.

What we noticed

  • The sequence opens with “Requiem” before moving into the brisker “Alla älskar dig” and “Mamma,” setting up a contrast between a solemn opening and direct punk songs.
  • “Gryningsvisa i d-moll” sits immediately before the two-part closing track “Sol över oss / Öga för öga,” giving the last stretch a more marked, sectional shape.
  • Melodic, folk-tinged string lines run against the punk-band drive, rather than leaving the arrangements to guitars and rhythm section alone.

Significant within its genre. 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.
