Unabashed fun makes way for unabashed lead singer
B. Anderson | San Jose, CA | 01/29/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"As stated in regards to "We Are The Ark," this album is fun, pop-inspired Glam-Rock. This is not cerebral stuff you discuss over cofee while reading The New Yorker; this album is fun.



"In Lust We Trust" delves deeper into the world-view of lead singer and songwriter Ola Salo. While Ola gives the listener a taste of himself in "We Are The Ark," he wears a slough of colors (including a very rainbow heart) on his sleeve in "In Lust We Trust."



The songs on "In Lust We Trust" run the gamut from radio-friendly pop gems like "Calleth You, Cometh I," to the quaint reminisce of "Vendelay," to sexually-playful romps like "Tired of Being An Object?" to the pop-epic "2000 Light Years of Darkness."



While the soundscapes were very tight, slick, and full of plastic sheen in "We Are The Ark," listeners will hear a more dirty, playful, and organic soundscape in "In Lust We Trust." Once again, the nods to bygone eras of Glam Rock (Bowie, Bolan, Queen) are more than apparent.



This album is best enjoyed by people who can let go of themselves and enjoy a good tune. Magnificently reccommended."
Why not a four?

"Yes, maybe it should have been. This album is far from as good as their first album, at least not when you listen to it at home. They have lost some of the sparks from "We Are The Ark", and some songs passes by without you even noticing them. However, even if they're not the best songs ever to listen to in your livingroom, when you see and hear them live the prescence of the band and of course Ola lifts them to a much higher ground. The "father of a son" halleluja-choir builds up an atmosphere grander than you could ever imagine. And after you've have experienced it you can't help loving this album too.



Although I must say that their best album so far is actually their latest, their third (or fourth if you count racing with the rabbits). I know it's not for sale on amazon yet, at least I haven't seen it, but since they're going to perform in USA later this spring, I guess it should come in soon. The sound is very different, more to the synth-pop, but absolutely amazing! Those songs are even real enjoyment in your livingroom.



To conclude. This album is a good one, and a definite must if you like The Ark, even though it's not as good as their first and third. So why not a four? Well, I'm from Sweden so I must be there for our musicians, the good ones at least.



Just a tip for people who are interested in swedish music. If you can find records by these artist I can warmly recommend them; The Knifes, Strip Music, Lustans Lakejer, Silverbullit, Le Sport, Embassy, Suburban Kids with Biblical names, Lo-Fi-Fnk, The Tough Alliance and more...."
