Ghost - Skeletá (2025)

 

The sixth album from this band from Sweden.

The band has numerous members with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, synths, electronics, choirs and vocals. 

The band returned again after a short break to release this fifty minutes long chart topping album. It has topped the Billboard charts in USA and numerous other charts. It is a best selling album.

We still get some satanic imagery on the top of some boyband and arena rock like music. Well, not so much arena rock as there is substance in arena rock. The music is more boyband like than arena rock.

The music is flat and just based on cheap and nasty verses and choruses. There are some guitars here but most of the music is nasty and cheap vocal harmonies in the vein of Westlife. 

Ghost is a hype and a money printing machine. Ghost is everything progressive and art rock is not. Ghost is everything I do not like about the music business these days. 

There are a few decent pieces of music here. The rest is pretty poor and this is an album well worth avoiding like the plague for those into fusion, art rock and progressive rock.
