Review

Borrowing the Beatles' haircuts, the Kinks' mod guitar riffs and the Small Faces' ecstatic tambourine-shaking choruses, Mando Diao isn't exactly making the kind of great artistic strides one might expect from the likes of Bloc Party or the Arcade Fire. In fact, listening to the Swedish quartet's second album it's often hard to tell 2005 from 1965. But Mando Diao plies the well-worn maximum R&B formula on Hurricane Bar with so much excitement and enthusiasm, its creative shortcomings are easy to forgive. Singers Bjorn Dixgard and Gustaf Noren make great counterparts, especially on tracks like "God Knows" and "If I Leave You," where their vocals ricochet off each other and the rolling organs and punchy British Invasion rhythms. Credit also goes to producer Richard Rainey (U2's All That You Can't Keep Behind) for making the songs crackle. With the Libertines having fallen apart and Oasis nodding off, the time for Mando Diao's retro rock just might be now. --Aidin VaziriHighly anticipated sophomore album from these dapper young Swedes. This U.S. version will include a slightly different track listing with exclusive material as well as 3 bonus videos. Look for North America dates in April.
