I have given Hisingen Blues multiple listenings but this album has not managed to click the correct retro/throwback rock buttons. I found it lacking cohesion and catchy melodies. However, I liked the style, the instrumentation and the attitude the Swedes have and I will dig further their discography. Recommendations: "Uncomfortably Numb", "Buying Truth", "Hisingen Blues".

Upon the first listen I must have been numb for I did not grant this masterpiece the attention it deserved. Lo and behold, a few months later I was in the perfect state of mind (whatever that may imply) and fell under the spell of "No Good, Mr. Holden." Quickly, the temporary enchantment evolved into a great love for the album in its entirety. Organic and lively, this album packs a quality nostalgic punch that, if there is a God, would give Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and Jimmy Page acid flashbacks.

I'm walking home from school, I passed by some local record store, there was a piece of paper says 'You can pick any of those CDs for $6'. Hisingen Blues was one of them. "It sounds like a Blue Cheer album" the guy in the record shop says, so I decided to buy it; it's cheap, supposedly good so, why not?

I decided to play the CD, it started playing. "This sounds like Led Zeppelin, holy ***!". Unlike The Raconteurs who also sound like Zep, This album is full of energy, loud guitars and gives you that wonderful groovy shivers, it's everything I ever asked for. By track 5 I realized that this has some of coolest guitar riffs ever. And then Longing came, which fits perfectly as the soundtrack for some medieval-based movie. Ungrateful Are the Dead came next. "Those riffs again!" I thought, not that it's a bad thing, though. And then, at some moment of this song comes an awesome guitar solo just to make this song laterally awesome.
*3 minutes of jamming to RSS*
The Siren started as a really meh-ish song but as the chorus started it was becoming slowly a song I would hear from Led Zeppelin (again) and I like that.

I played the album again and I appreciated that Uncomfortably Numb's last minute's sheer beauty. Also.. I could actually focus on the guitars in RSS, pretty cool, I have to say.

"I'm definitely in love with this."
And that's how Hisingen Blues became one of my favourite albums ever.

Hisingen Blues is a near perfect hard blues-rock album from Swedish rockers ?Graveyard?. Led Zeppelin meets Black Sabbath meets Junior Kimbrough.
