Since vocalist\/keyboardist Mikael Erlandsson formed the band together with FAIR WARNING guitarist Andy Malecek they have released nine studio albums plus one live and one best of. Ian Haugland and John Lev\u00e9n of EUROPE came and went, in came Jamie Borger and Nalle P\u00e5hlsson from TREAT and only the latter left as he also left TREAT for THERION. Marcel Jacob (R.I.P) left us and LAST AUTUMNS DREAM too soon. But everything leads us to 2012 and the new album from Erlandsson &#038; co. <\/p>\n<p>Anyone who likes this band will be pleased with opener \u201cIn a Perfect World\u201d. The smart opening, the refrain, the riff, it\u00b4s all there. But, of cause, the title track is, together with the duet with Jenny Redenkvist, \u201cAngel Eyes\u201d the best on offer. How they get such flow in the words I can\u00b4t tell\u2026 Another pleasure is hearing JEFF SCOTT SOTO in \u201cThe Last to Know\u201d, another amazing refrain. But, alas, the most boring track I\u00b4ve heard from them is also on board. The weak elevator music style on \u201cMerry-Go-Round\u201d must be imitating the very meaning of the word? 3:48 felt like 13.49, and it\u00b4s the first time I\u00b4ve ever used the forward button on the band. Neither \u201cGolden Cage\u201d or \u201cAll I Can Think Of\u201d impress, so track four to six was not of the same standard as the rest of the album. \u201cMegalomania\u201d has a hard sound to it but I think it\u00b4s their way of conveying an emotion and a state of mind, if so bravo. Still, LAST AUTUMNS DREAM is a favorite of the genre, but I hope they steer well clear of future triple mistakes. <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nIn a Perfect World<br \/>\nNine Lives<br \/>\nIs This Just Another Heartache<br \/>\nMerry-Go-Round<br \/>\nGolden Cage<br \/>\nAll I Can Think Of<br \/>\nMegalomania<br \/>\nThe Last to Know<br \/>\nAngel Eyes<br \/>\nWe Never Said Goodbye<\/p>\n<p>www.gmrmusic.se www.myspace.com\/lastautumnsdream<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GMR Music Nine albums, a variety of fantastic musicians with a pedigree and still they are most major only in Japan.
