Crashdiet - Automaton (2022) After listening to the album around 10 times since getting it a few days back, my conclusion is that this may be the best album the band has done since the classic debut way back in 2005, l thought the last album Rust, the first one with Gabriel was a big step in the right direction, but this new one has better tracks overall. There are som great tracks here in Together Whatever, No Man's Land, Darker Minds, We Die Hard (which l think is a top5 track of all Crashdiet tracks) and the ballad l Can't Move On (Without You) 8.5/10

This is a pretty good vinyl release. The artwork on the jacket itself is very nice, and the inner lyric sleeve looks great! There seems to be a bit more dynamic range here than in the CD / Digital version, although it's a bit hard for me to tell; it's not a night and day difference like some other new albums. I haven't done a side-by-side comparison, so I'm not completely sure if there's an audible difference, or if it's just placebo. I wish it sounded a bit cleaner, but the album might just have a fuzzy, gritty sound from production. However, this is a very good pressing. I only noticed one or two subtle pops, and the surface noise is only audible between tracks.

Loved that album! Now the Bundle, Vinyl, Shirt....something to go for immediately. It´s a little challenge with the shipping cost to Germany, but overall the bundle was very safely packed and everything arrived in fantastic conditions...and the shipping was fast. So overall a great deal, fantastic album, nice shirt...but somehow I hope you´ll find better shipment opportunities for the fans outside of Sweden.

This is one of my favorite Crashdiet shirts due to how soft it is. The design is really cool. I love the slogan "The Filth That Never Dies." It perfectly encapsulates Crashdiet's resiliency. I mean, the band can't catch a break with lead singers, but they still keep crawling out of the grave to make incredible music. The only slight downside with this shirt is that it seems to run a little smaller than their standard shirts.

The item was a great adding to the collection. But I always get a lill scared that the band gets too stuck in the early years with prints of a revisited era London. I lov e to hear what we in other countries never really got a chance to know about. Not much anyway. This is a cool items to have out for you guys and I have to say the love for it got even bigger when I also saw and heard the 2nd album was out. Thanks for the great things. Best is to hear the sound and energy and the UNRELEASED stuff from this live record for sure ***
