2nd studio album release by the Danish pop band Stoffer og Maskinen. It's a better release compared to the debut album Stoffer og Maskinen (2008), which almost didn't have a single interesting track. "Byens tage" is a really fine contemporary pop song. Two or three fine tracks don't make a great album but I think they have potential to make a really fine release, and at least they seem to have found more of their own style. This is not indie pop / indie rock as the debut but a more polished style. Their blue-eyed pop sometimes has a hint of Swedish The Knife but on the weaker tracks they have a similar sound and style (1980s?) to that of Nikolaj og Piloterne, only, I think this is generally an improvement to that.
