Heavy rock from Norway with some progressive leanings

"Norwegian Aunt Marys second album is better than their debut but still all their pieces arent in their right places. This is still very solid heavy rock with progressive hints, and also some ballads thrown in too. But it was still a bit obvious that Aunt Mary were searching for their true musical direction. The heavy tracks and its guitar riffs lingers on a bit from time to time like in "Joinin' the crowd", but the contrast between louder songs and more lyrical ones like "Delight" are succesfull and indeed very needable. The long track "Blowin' Tiffany" gives some promises of what the future had in sight, with its more complec structure. Still, this is a good album in its own way and no one can argue with the tough riffs in a track like "G Flat road"."
