The second album from this band from Sweden.
The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars, piano, organ, synths and vocals.
One guest added saxophones.
This three quarters of an hour long album is the follow up album to their 1977 self-titled album.
Their debut album was a good early symphonic prog album and a hidden gem in the Swedish symphonic prog scene. An album pretty similar to the first Kaipa albums.
The music on Mål is more poppy and rock inspired than symphonic prog. There is still some symphonic prog here, mostly at the end of the album, but mainstream rock has taken over. There is even some folk rock influences here.
There is a lot of vocals here. The vocals are in Swedish and they are pretty good. There is also a lot of organ in their sound.
The music is decent enough but this album is a bit of a let down compared to their debut album. The band also released a third and final album. A pop album, no less. I will see if I am bothered to review it later this year.
