A friend of mine uses the ‘list system’ for making important life decisions (especially those regarding his love life). Diligently noting down the pros and cons in opposing columns to determine which is the best course of action.

It’s all very rational , but it doesn’t really work that well cause there’s usually some kind of fudging going on and it’s not like all pros and cons have equal weight.

To be fair this track probably wouldn’t make it past the system. Too many cons baby!

First among these being some super-camp lyrics with an awkwardly persistent building theme;

Exhibit one;

“Got myself some tools together
I’m ready to hump some walls downTell me what’s the biggest project
My hammer-drill will sort that out”

It takes a lot to like, no love, a song that has that as it’s lyrical theme.

Thankfully our scandinavian brothers have more than enough in the kitty to overcome.

Synth heavy with just enough retro (just enough future) to keep both sides of my tastebuds happy and, most importantly,the best name for a band I’ve heard in freakin ages.

All hail Black Viking *
