FAMILY

After the sound odyssey of the two installments of "The Audio Guide to Happiness", Jolly returned six years later with the long-awaited "Family".

And for my taste, it is his most mature, focused and enjoyable album. Mixing again influences that go through alternative rock, electronic and the most raw heavy metal, Jolly are able to surprise the listener with an excellent collection of songs.

Anadale's distinctive voice sounds better than ever, and the production is clean, heavy and nuanced. It's a shame that a group like this doesn't have a higher recognition!

In any case, it seems that they are going to release a new album soon? I can't wait to hear it! I'm sure it will be as genuine and unclassifiable as ever.

Best Tracks: Lie to Me (perfect to start the album, with a great chorus), Lazarus (in my opinion it's the best song they've written. Good space-heavy, with incredible guitars), Ava (a unique song, original and tremendously representative of the style of this band), Let Go (10 minutes of pure heavy-prog ecstasy), Circuit Heaven (another dynamic, fun song with a curious circus touch)

My Rating: ****
