Kent?

[discouraged1]

somebody into Kent?
ive been listening to latest Du Och Jag Döden, a good one.

i know jonas and anders are into them, naturally concerning theyre swedes. anyone else into em here?

 

[Hobo]

i like them a lot.
However, the track "du och jag döden" is probably one of the worst songs they have made..
best one is "spökstad" according to me.

I really like Kent.....although some of their songs I could do without......a few of my favs are
Max 500
Parlor
Musik non stop

a little different for my usual tastes.....but then again my tastes usually change up alot.......

Here in Sweden they are like one of the biggest bands around... Really popular among 13-16 year old girls

But yeah, I like them a bit, at least their early albums. Isola is a great CD.

dou yis guys prefer isola in swedish than english or the other way round?

Hey. I have a couple of Kent cd's. I think they are pretty good, although I havent listened to them in quite a while.

I've just heard a couple of them in english, so... But from what i've heard I prefer the swedish lyrics.

I've never heard of this band. Worth checking out then, eh?

Aaron: I would recommend so.
You find info here:
www.kent.nu
and a forum in English:

There is a fanpage somewhere in English, too...

Dan Swanö liked especially Kent in their early stage I heard, so there you have one more connection.

Thank you so much! I appreciate it immensely.

everyone in sweden loves kent. i read somewhere that kent songs were played at mieszko from nasum's funeral and they were one of his favorite bands.

Ha, people are talking about kent, must participate!

Since the release of Isola, kent have been THE dearest and the most important band for me. Isola is the album that I'd take with me on a deserted island; it's just one of those albums where everything's in its right place. It still visits my cd player almost as frequently as when it was newly released. I have both Isola and HH in English as well, but I gotta admit that I almost never listen to them. Those songs that exist only in English are ok, but it just feels like the other English ones are missing something compared to the Swedish versions...

I'm happy that kent pretty much got their "good old feeling" back on D&JD, after the slightly disappointing V&A. Can't wait to hear the new songs live, in that huge tent. I especially love Mannen i den vita hatten (16 år senare), it's just... great.

It could be that I'm going to Stockholm to see them on their upcoming tour.
Yet I don't know if there are still tickets available, hope so...because I should rush to take a decision..and book my flight....

Have only heard the single of their last album, nice song!
I love Isola too, but many other songs, some of their B-sides are also quite beautiful!
I also agree that the songs in Swedish ar much better than in English! Swedish is a really beautiful language, sounds very melodic.
Then it's a good way to learn it through Kent lyrics, which by the way are also beautiful!

Last time kent toured sweden they sold out in about 5 minutes.. so you better rush

Found my first Kent- album (Verkligen) by coincidence in a Norwegian record store some years ago and fell in love immediately, also made many of my friends like them. They are totally great and I enjoy singing along- very suitable music for parties at rainy norwegian camping sites, hehe...
I always wanted to see Kent live and now it seems this dream could come true Though I don't like big venues and thousands of people. But I don't have a choice 'cause they're so big in Scandinavia...

 

[cthulufhtagn]

i'm intrigued, what are they like? any bands you could compare them to?

 

[Luz]
