Album Review: 'Crash! Boom! Bang!'

These two Swedes favor ballads and mid-tempo numbers that make one hanker for the real thing (be it the Beatles or the Babys). Elsewhere, merrily goofy crunchers like ”Harley & Indians” embarrassingly regurgitate American pop icons and candy rock. If only Per Gissle had let the charged-up Marie Fredriksson sing lead vocals on all 15 songs, Crash might’ve qualified as an unqualified guilty pleasure. C+
