Crazy Lixx

Crazy Lixx is the self-titled album on which they play cinematic moods and 80s-style hard rock with sharp hooks. From the hard-edged direction of the previous Riot Avenue, they return to the melodic, flamboyant style of the New Religion era. The band delivered it as a confident work befitting a self-titled album, the kind you only get to make once. Hook-filled songs like "Hell Raising Women," "Sound of the Loud Minority" and "Girls of the 80's" line up. A re-recording of the debut single "Heroes Are Forever" is also included. An early single, the song had become hard to find as the debut went out of print, so it was newly recorded to reach more fans. Mats Levén and others guest on backing vocals. A big sound produced by Danny Rexon wraps the whole record. Tåve Wanning also contributes backing vocals to the album. A back-to-roots record that once again distills the band's love of 80s sleaze. An accomplished album counted among the band's signature works.
