So, a topic about the Swedish rock/pop group Kent. I've always called them the Swedish Coldplay, but they are actually more than that. Better too. Apparently they are very big in Sweden, but not really known elsewhere. Attempts to reach a broader audience resulted in english versions of "Isola" and "Hagnesta Hill", but that didn't work out too good.

What I really appreciate about their sound and music, and this is especially about their best album imo "Du & Jag Döden", is their incredibly sad mood. I've written a blog about it here, but in short, they are: very transparent, clinical, honest, innocent and captivating. Sometimes strangely uplifting, at other times very emotive.

Anyway, for some this may be "just" another pop/rock act, but to me they are clearly above the regular acts. Albums I own so far:

Du & Jag Döden
Kent
Isola (English version)
Vapen & Ammunition

And my good friend Spyroid will help me getting their other albums for a low price, so I'll probably a couple more in a month or so. I could give more detailed opinions about certain albums, but first I want to see what you all have to say about Kent.
