Old school punk from sweden

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Well, I'm a swede, and I think it's a shame that you won't understand the sometimes brilliant punklyrics.



This is a remastered collection from maybe the biggest swedish punkband from all time. It begins with the classic "the state and the capital" (staten och kapitalet) and ends with "now 1000 human lifes goes down" (nu släckas 1000 människoliv), which is a remake of the classic swedish christmas song "now 1000 candles are lighteed".



This CD is pure punk, the song, the music, the instruments, and the lyrics, with names such as "lick upwards, kick downwards" (slicka uppåt, sparka neråt), but also punksongs with songs about being young and sick of it all, such as "young and horny" (ung och kåt) and "we're only in it for the drugs".



If youre intressted in pure punk from outside the US, this is a great buy. I truly recommend this!"
