Massive Swedish rock group issues fun summer release

Looking to revamp your iTunes for summer? Check out I’m From Barcelona’s third and most recent album, “Forever Today.” Full of upbeat poplike songs, “Forever Today” hits listeners with the full force of all 29 members of this Swedish band. 

“Forever Today” is full of anthem-like songs that just beg listeners to smile and dance. Listeners cannot help but tap their feet to high-energy songs like “Get in Line” and “Charlie Parker.” The title track, “Forever Today,” is a bit slower and gives listeners the feeling that the band is all coming together to bid farewell to the listeners. 

However, the album’s downfall comes in this upbeat, full sound. Simply put, there’s too much of it. “Forever Today” lacks a variety in sound and emotion.  

That being said, do not let that stop you from listening to this album. If you are still looking for that summer anthem to blast with the windows rolled down, “Forever Today” is your album.
