It was the release of their single First which included the tracks Burning and Infilation that gave us a clue for the upcoming release of their album.

The whole album is pretty impressive. It can be divided into 3 sections.

The first section includes the tracks (Burning,Above you,Infilation and figures).All of them are quite perfect song presented in a combination of electric guitars, bass, and drums with a twist of Erlend Oye’s spicy lyrics.

The second part of the album includes the tracks ( fireworks,done with you and dont give up).These three songs seem to have a more interest and deep bassline that grows with you.They are not such ''easy listening'' as the other three are but the truth is that these tracks need their time.The guitar appears and dissapears at the right time,there is a more hypnotic and dream tune that the other tracks and they give you the impression that you are ready to pack and go.

The third part of the album ,tracks (borders and golden cage) features some great vocals.The sound here is more like an amateur band that gigs on their garage.This is not at all a disadvantage instead these two tracks are great and their missleading not professional style is absolutely fabulous.

The best parts of the album are the Golden cage with its crazy bass lines that makes you dizzy and Burning which is more of a catchy song but its actually a well worked track with great production quality.

I have loved this album.It makes me relax.Great tunes ,great effort!
