Again & Again

Again & Again is a work on which Last Autumn's Dream, around the sweet, beautiful singing particular to Nordic melodic rock, amply conveys its universal appeal. A record inscribing a milestone of the fulfilling career of continuing to release high-quality works at an astonishing pace. Rather than being caught by flashy, gorgeous signature songs alone, following how the sonic center is placed, the deft arrangement of choruses and the natural flow between songs, a unified, rich expression as a whole album comes clearly into view. Content where Mikael Erlandsson’s warm voice shines. While taking in various changes over long activity, the sweet, beautiful songcraft at the core of the band Last Autumn's Dream and its sure feel are not lost in the least. Soft, beautiful keyboards, smooth guitar and sweet singing tinged with sorrow melt extremely naturally, richly drawing the comfortable world particular to Nordic AOR. Content that valued the appeal of the singing itself, rather than flashy technique. A fine record for looking back on and reaffirming the flow of the many fulfilling works so far. Even in a prolific career, its high quality has not wavered in the least. A refined, engaging record letting you fully savor the band’s unshakable songcraft and consistent appeal — a record where the band’s steady appeal shines.
