Second English language album from Swedish indie act most often compared to Smashing Pumpkins. Includes the single, 'Kevlar Soul'. BMG. 2000.

HAGNESTA HILL, the fourth album from Swedish group Kent, returns in an English language incarnation featuring 13 tracks such as "The King Is Dead" and "Music Non Stop."
If the late '90s proved anything it's that there should be a new subgenre conscientiously recorded into the music books: "The Radiohead Congregation." Because sometime after said band's The Bends or even their bleaker OK Computer, an entire avalanche of copyists started to pour down for a public starved for more Thom Yorke mewling. Which is why it's easy to pick out bands like Muse or Doves or Coldplay or Kent. This was especially not a good sign for the last band on the list. After three albums going continually downhill in the melancholy factor, this Swedish band struggled for identity. At times, Hagnesta Hill is just what the band needed to halt such a problem. From the lead-off tracks -- the rousing, undulating "The King Is Dead" or the loud banging "Revolt III" -- the outright despondency the band had been beating to death seems to be a thing of the past. The production also seems to be in fine shape. "Music Non Stop," for example, takes gasping atmospherics to a level that wouldn't be out of place on Midnight Oil's Red Sails in the Sunset. Unfortunately, not soon after, the album already tends to over-stay its welcome. The middle third shows off just what made Kent plagiaristic: meandering choruses, over-wrought vocals, and too many misfires. Even some interesting counterpoints of horns in a song like "Stop Me June (Little Ego" don't save the album's redundancy. Luckily, it's the last batch of songs that surprisingly have the most impact. Not because they go for the melancholia jugular yet again but because this time it sounds affecting. The strings on "Protection" are far from the overdone Richard Ashcroft/Oasis variety and the mourning heartbeats of "Cowboys" or "Whistle Song" are brimming with dollops of hazy sweetness. That's right, none of these sound like yet another version of "Street Spirit." So as a whole, one realizes that Hagnesta Hill is a mixed bag. It's not the statement of independence that would've made Kent an original force to be reckoned with, but it's definitely a bright start. ~ Dean Carlson

Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Rave + Space Rock = Hagnesta Hill
Hagnesta Hill mixes the light rock feel of Isola with a Dance/Rave beats to create an excellent album with Hagnesta Hill. Each song is catchy with one-line bridges that leave you hanging for the chorus hook to begin. Slower songs blend in seamlessly, maintaining Kent's trademark sound. Definitely recommended to anyone, especially people looking for a follow-up to Isola.

4 stars Catchy and Satisfying
It's nothing I've never heard before, but it's still been on repeat. It's got a bit of a different feel - maybe something in production, I don't know (the drums are "chunky" and satisfying - check Music Non Stop). Buy it if you're a Radiohead fan or someone who likes guitar-driven stuff that isn't old before the album's out. It's also of benefit that many of us in the US have probably never even heard a word of this on radio...

I recently was recommended to give Kent a listen. I decided to score this album (one of their two English Albums). You need to listen to this album to understand how great this band really is. It's a mixture of Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, and Society as a Whole. So So so So greeaat!

Kent is one of the best bands in the world. Unfortunately they haven´t had an international breakthrough yet. Just buy the record!

5 stars Should Be 6 Stars
Kent are a great band with great lyrics, considering English is a second language for them. The music is also amazing. Kind of a mix between "The Bends" by Radiohead and later REM albums. Joakim has one of the best voices I've ever heard. They're a really great band and you should check out both of their English language albums: this and Isola.
