December is always the month to sum up and look back. In today's issue, Dagbladet lists the national and international albums that made an impression this year. Maestro is one of them.Nine reviewers from Dagbladet took part in the ranking of the 20 best Norwegian albums of the year, and in that list, Kaizers Orchestra's third album Maestro made it to the second place, behind Serena Mannesh's self-titled debut album.
- Music-competitions and rankings are a weird thing, there's taste and delight and politics and all kinds of other things involved, but anyway it is very nice that also journalists like our album, Janove Ottesen comments on this.
- We actually agree with them in that it is a great album, he he.
"With Maestro, they refined the fascination for noise, Eastern European folk-music and devilish cabaret-rock, and recorded their most shrewd, high-riff and varied album", Dagbladet writes in today's issue.
- We ourselves think that this is our best and most varied album in our career up to now, so this summary fits well with our own opinion. Nice to agree with journalists!
We congratulate and clap our hands.
