Rated: ****
Yay! A new Motorpsycho album! Sorry, I had to do it. Anyway... Been lucky enough to have experienced Motorpsycho many times and in many incarnations. For throughout their existence they have shifted shape, morphed and invited artists to join their ranks. But of course after more than 35 years of existence, we all know that Motorpsycho is that fabled duo of Bent Sæther and Hans Magnus Ryan. And those two cats will continue to do whatever they feel like. This has led to so many amazing albums and a few that unfortunately could not entertain me in the least. Only logical right? Which was also the case live. There have been one or two shows that left me wondering if they themselves knew what they were doing. But I guess they do, and when you call your new album, the twenty-seventh or even thirtieth studio album, I lost count, Motorpsycho, you show intent and that it might serve as a standing stone to proclaim your destiny henceforth. And that is perhaps to forever incorporate all the different styles, genres, designs, shapes and forms that they have dived into all those albums that have come and gone. And yes, they stated as much in their press release as well; and we can say with gladness in our heart, that it is true. They have returned to the prog rocking fold, tones of yore and older are dappled across the compositions that range from two to twenty minutes and with a total run time of 1 hour and twenty-one minutes, there is a lot to dive into. And it is worth it, cause as you submerge in their universe, you feel their sounds envelop you, fondle you and hold you as you hear these sparkling melodies cast brilliant rays of Motorpsycho sun through it all… It’s a new day…
