I'll start this by saying "Besoket Vid Krubban" is the best album Skitkids have made. I heard this was their last album, although rumours and band breakups are pretty fluid processes. The rock has been turned up this time, with solos everywhere and the songs all have a distinct 'rockndbeatmotorpunk' flavour, more so than previous releases. I am a big fan of this sub-genre, and Skitkids are definitely on the top shelf. They have a great fusion of catchiness and aggression, while not veering too much into either category. This adept fusion makes for a balanced effort, one that has been perfected by this band over their career.
Highlights include: 'Weekday Suger Rov,' with its screaming lick intro and similar refrain throughout, 'Uppvaxt Till Svin,' which has a great Motorhead-ish lick and some very Totalitar-like riffs, plus a thoroughly enjoyable screaming lead followed immediately by a drum break. All the songs on this album are top-notch and I highly recommend seeking out this now 3 year old gem on you next record order, or download binge.
