The Norwegian music/game/moviestore posted a "mini-review" on its website a few days ago. Here is the translation:
"The first single from the album was the grandiose opening track "999", a track that sets the tone for a album where front figure Joakim Berg and his three band buddies plays with a big and airy sound picture. "Jag är inte räddd för mörkret" is mainly characterized by vocals, shimmering guitars and keyboards with constant drumming - steady taking the album forward. The band seamlessly switch between a lethargy, almost slow (in the sense of too slow/boring - translation notice) track on "Isis & Bast" and the epic Coldplay-rock on "Jag ser dig" (I See You), and in one and the same song - "Tänd på" (Lit on/torch this) they elegantly shift between light Depeche Mode-rythms to a chorus that smells U2.
Big references - but then Kent also makes big music. This is rock in the sense of Arena rock, just as friskily capturing (Låt Dom Komma)/(Let them come) as dark
and dramatic /as the/ closing "Hänsyn" (Consideration).
(parantes)- I would have put the review in spoiler tags, just in case some people wanted to listen to the album without having read anything about the songs. And as this wasn't news from kent.nu- it could have went in the album thread.
What do people think of the new colour scheme? I like the olive-ish colour in the banner, I guess it's meant to reflect the gold from the album cover. I'm still so used to the forum names being in red, though.
The latest news from the site is the links that kent tweeted to the first 5 songs from the album are now on Spotify.

Some translations from the press conference yesterday:
http://www.kentjunkie.com/news.htm#news120425
Yeah, me too. And I can't even consider going because my boss will be on holiday, and I'll be running the office.
Oh, and frippe, many thanks your the press conference translation! I watched it last night when I got home, but most people were talking too fast for me to catch everything that was said.

I'm going to try to buy tickets to the KB show, but it's a really small venue. Will be sold out within a minute, as they announced it everywhere and a lot of people will want to go. So I bet my chances are very small, but one can always try. Would mean two kent concerts in walking distance in one summer
That sounds amazing.... how I wish kent would play somewhere withing walking distance to me! (it'll never happen, still I'm willing to travel 1000 miles to see them!)
Good luck with those tickets on friday, I'll be holding my thumbs (as the swedes would say) for you!

Just a little edit to the news about the tickets for the spring tour- tickets must be paid for by card at the time of booking. There is no option to reserve and pick up & pay for the tickets from a booking agent.
