SOMERSAULT

From the beginning I have a bit of a problem with this release by Jadis. On one hand it's an obvious Jadis album and so I should be ok with it but on the other hand there is something about it I'm not too fond of. Again there are no really poor songs on this album but I think the problem lies on the other side of quality: there are no highlights either and the songs are avarage for Jadis standard.

There are two pretty long tracks on this album, the first and the last and that is not often the case with Jadis songs and these songs are quite nice but not spectacular. Batstein, Speechless and Losing my fear are examples of the mediocre songs, still nice but nothing special. Tomorrow always arrives is the ballad of the album and Falling away is the best track to me, really good but not one of my all time favourites by this band.

So all in all not bad but I noticed the overall opinion by reviewers is that this is their least effort and I agree. So 3 stars for this.
