5th studio album release by Bo Kaspers Orkester. The album is released 3 years since I centrum (1998) and it shows a new direction of the band now playing with folk pop. The band has evolved from it's primarily jazz pop universe to embrace hints of chamber pop and americana, and the album is clearly the band's best studio album so far. The Swedish composer and steel-guitarist Johan Lindström both plays guitar and has arranged string sections on the album. Another "guest" musician is Wille Crafoord who wrote the lyrics for tracks #2 and #8, and the near-title track #2. "Ett fullkomligt kaos" is the album's best track with its wonderful warm jazz pop chamber pop tune with perfect balanced strings, jazz guitar and piano accompanied by the gentle and pure singing voice of Bo Kasper. The album topped the Swedish albums chart list just like its predecessor.
