Backyard Babies started out as incredibly energetic punk rockers. Being from Sweden, their great advantage was that they cared little for the rules of British and American punk, and added metal, glam, and power pop to their sound to create real excitement. Well now either age, boredom, or record company pressure has transformed Backyard Babies into non-threatening punk-popsters of the type for which they used to be the antidote. Backyard Babies have long been linked with another important Swedish band, the Hellacopters, who have followed a similar path, in their case from brutal hard rock to bland southern boogie. Hellacopters frontman Nicke Andersson has produced this new Backyard Babies album, and that's of interest to serious fans of the Swedish rock scene, but unfortunately the results don't offer much excitement. A few songs on this disc almost display the old Backyard Babies energy, including "Dysfunctional Professional," "Blitzkrieg Loveshock," and "Hold 'em Down." But most of the songs here offer little more than a mature take on middle-of-the-road punk-pop junk like Good Charlotte or Sum 41, and by all means avoid the failed mid-tempo blues attempt "Roads" (the type of song that has lately derailed the Hellacopters). Drummer Peder Carlsson is the one member of the band who's still trying to play with his old energy, but here he just sounds like he's overdoing it, compared to everyone else's blandness. And lead guitarist Dregen, who was once as crazy and mind-blowing as any hard rock axe hero you could name, is barely audible on this album. Sadly, these former leaders have become the followers of their followers. [~doomsdayer520~]
