3rd solo release by Peter Sommer is a new direction of style. This is his first actual rock album. He's still a singer / songwriter with focus on narration and lyrics, and his trademark of playing with words, but it's electrified music with synths and drum machines, which seems very welcome and makes it more enjoyable, more complex, although, I can't help thinking that he may have listened a bit too much to Henrik Hall's Chok, suk og koma, released half a year prior to this. Compared to his 2006 release, the music is better on this one but some of the songs lack substance.
