"Album Rating: 71.45 (786/11) Viagra Boys (VA - SWE - Apr 25) - Viagr Aboys 25.04.2025 Has its moments and lyrically, it's funny and scathing in equal measures at times.

"Dependable as ever . In more than 30 years now , this band has not released a bad album , Their newest output is full of gut-punching riffs and emotional vocals . Negative point : Five years after ``Ohms`` we only get 43 minutes of music ."  Reply
