MÅLTID

This album is my introduction to Samla Mammas Manna, and i have to say it was such a beautiful and mind blowing discovery, although i have problems with the quirky vocals and sounds in general, but the songwriting and technical abilities of the band members shows great musicianship.. and the one instrument that stood out for me at the first listen was definitely the drums.. this record has one of the greatest drumming performances i've ever heard ( specially the first song).

1. Dundrets Fröjder (10:43) - what an amazing piece of music to start the record with!! it just tells how fun of a ride you're going to have.. that section @7:10 until the end of the song blows my mind every time i listen to it, drumming is just out of this world i always tend to repeat that section multiple times before i go to the next song.. (11/10)

2. Oförutsedd F¢rlossning (3:10) - I honestly find the vocals pretty irritating for my ears (although i enjoy death metal growls but i just can't stand this) however the music is so good, i can totally forget about the vocals and enjoy the music on this song.. beautiful keyboard melodies, guitar work is also fine but it's really the drumming that stands out for me. (9/10)

3. Den återupplivade Låten (5:53) - love the main motif on this one.. the first half sounds darker (which is good) than everything else on the record.. but the second half is equally beautiful. love the moment when the main motif comes back in the second half with tremolo picking. (10/10)

4. Folkvisa I Morse (2:07) (8/10)

5. Syster System (2:27) (8/10)

6. Tärningen (3:33) God i love the drummer on this record!! (9/10)

7. Svackorpoängen (3:11) absolutely love the keyboards playing on this song. (9/10)

8. Minareten (8:21) my second favorite after the opening song.. has more psychedelic feel to it.. amazing guitar and drums performance. the ending baseline is very groovy i can't help but dance to it. (10/10) 9. Værelseds Tilbud (2:26) a beautiful closer with amazing keyboards performance. (9/10)

10. Minareten II (4:37) a very cool bonus track that further explores the very edgy baseline at the end of (8. Minareten).. absolutely love this shit!!! (11/10)

Definitely a masterpiece of progressive rock music that every prog lover will enjoy.
