The 17th album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of percussion, drums, bass, guitars, ukulele, grand piano, organ, keyboards, moog, synths and vocals.
A handful of guests added percussion, accordion and vocals.
The masters of the Scandinavian symphonic prog scene returned again with this, a seventy-two minutes long album.
The music is again symphonic prog with some folk rock influences. This is the brand of symphonic prog this band debuted with after Roine Stolt left Kaipa and this is what the band now, thankfully, has returned to. Love is a back to basics album.
There is not so many jazz and fusion influences on this album as on previous albums. Well, there is none of those influences whatsoever here.
The sound is very good and as expected from this band... the band who, together with Kaipa, invented the Swedish symphonic prog sound.
The vocals and the guitars, everything here is very good. The music is good to very good. This is still a very good album from the maestros of this scene.
3.5 points
