Degreed - Curtain Falls (CD)

Swedish outfit DEGREED do offer their own signature sound probably unlike any other band out there. At times pretty heavy ("One Helluva Ride" or "Holding On To Yesterday"), (a little bit) slower ("Believe") or beautifully dreamy ("Promise Me"). "Curtain Falls" is pretty unpredictable in its absolute unpredictability. Top class production by drummer Mats Eriksson. The songwriting of the band is classic and modern at the same time, therefore it's hard to compare but at times EVERGREY, JD MILLER or SEVENTH CRYSTAL can be mentioned here. A fantastic piece of work - once again! DEGREED are a league on their own! Thumbs up! (MS)
