I loved Refused. I found The (International) Noise Conspiracy intriguing in the very beginning of their career, before they turned extremely boring. I liked the first Lost Patrol album and wasn't too keen on the second one. What about this new album from the ever-so-creative Dennis Lyxzén then? Well, there's none of the slower beautiful stuff that can be found on "Songs in the key of resistance", and too many songs sound like something by T(I)NC. Surprisingly enough, there are 5 fantastic pop songs on this album, that in a fair world should all be released simultaneously worldwide, then all entering the top 5 all over the globe (with "Golden times" occupying the #1 spot everywhere, of course).

If musical differences were a part of Refused breaking up, it's funny how, now sever years after the split, Dennis Lyxzén (with The Lost Patrol Band) and David Sandström are making pretty similar music (melodic rock). David and Dennis should really re-ignite their partnership and form a new band, Dennis would surely benefit from David's impressive songwriting ability, and Dennis could bring his "commercial appeal" to the table. Enough of this wishful thinking now and let's review this album - David Sandström's third album is in the same vein as his last great album, but whereas "The dominant need for the needy soul" shot of in all directions, "Go down!" feels more like a proper and solid album. This aspect alone makes "Go down!", in my opinion, an even better record than its predecessor.
