Music Steak

Millencolin returned in 2005 with a new album named Kingwood. They toured to support it too and I reviewed their gig at the Leeds Uni Union. You can find that review here. But right now we’re talking about the album.

It’s good. It’s punk revivial. Which I like. Although I totally agree that Penguins and Polarbears was their so far crowning achievement, Kingwood to me represents a more substancial Millencolin. It seems to have more body to it than the mindless (don’t get me wrong, I love mindless) punk that they traditionally play.

There are some catchy tunes in there, none as much as No Cigar or Fox but none the less you will start to pick up on a few of them.

It’s a good album and while I don’t think it is particuarly ground-breaking it’s a solid album and a step forward for them.
