There was a thread already. New album is decent, not as captivating as the previous three though. Few bands have such a plethora of eargasmic moments as A.C.T though.

100% up my alley.

Good album.  Pretty dense stuff, in a similar vein to "Last Epic" (my favorite of theirs) but a bit darker-sounding.

Great band, never seen the thread for it. Favorite albums are Circus Pandemonium and Last Epic.

Hope I'll see them live sometine soon, seems like a band that is tons of fun live.
people on this board are actual music fans who developed taste in music and not casual listeners who are following current fashion trends and listening to only current commercial hits.

Has anyone here heard A.C.Ts biggest influence City Boy. One of my all time favorites and one of Jerry Sahlins too which shows in their music.

Hm, if they're playing in Gothenburg I might go. Most of my family on my dad's side are fans, and they're all in Gothenburg, so we'll see.
