Moneybrother
Mount Pleasure
Burning Heart Records
Much more impressive than Moneybrother's latest album is Anders Wedin's constant output of new material (this is Moneybrother's fourth album since 2003). The quality of his songs might vary, but even at his lowest, Wedin's never really that bad, his worse is quite medium. This is why I'm not too bothered about "Mount Pleasure" not being as solid as Moneybrother's first two albums. It's a predictable collection of songs, and, except the first single ("Just another summer"), there aren't too many songs that I'd miss if this album was forever erased from the history of music (harsh, I know). As we'd come to except by now, it's a lot of songs sounding like Bruce Springsteen, Thin Lizzy and a few that could have been done by Monster (Wedin's band before Moneybrother). Let's hope that Moneybrother will release a new album not too far away from now, and that it'll be both fresh and absolutely amazing, "Mount Pleasure" is just about too "meh" for me and my dear ears.
