Pure music enjoyment!!!.......2003-10-24

I have every Freak Kitchen CD. Each CD has a unique mood. This album is the most Freaky of the 5. This album covers all musical styles. Mathias' guitar playing is awesome as always. The songs are bursting with creativity, and as always, each song has clever lyrics with catchy, unforgetable melodies. All the songs rule...I don't have a favorite. Six Dildo Bob & the Bluegrass Samba from Hell is an extremely fun instrumental. Buy this disc!

P.S. - This disc can be purchased for a significantly cheaper price at www.guitar9.com or www.impulsemusic.com.

Raw and clearly high class.......2004-03-03

This album Rocks. I should have given it a 5 star but my taste for plain chart hit songs are too strong. This group is not afraid of testing and playing with sounds and ideas.
Ever wondered what the greatest song of the 90:s was?
Well, let me tell you. It is a song on this album. RAW is the name...........best there is. Bon Jovi, Ratt and any other hardrockers cant even compete in this region.
If you buy this album you wont be dissapointed!
The song RAW is worth every penny, because its one of the greatest songs ever written.
Also, "some kind of love songs" is clearly a hit song with unusual tunes.........clearly class.
THIS guy really can play guitar!!! BUY IT!!!

Album Description

Organic, the new Freak Kitchen album, featuring the terrifyng Mattias IA Eklundh, is out in the open, spreading throughout the planet. On this remarkable release, the trio is joined by the amazing Bumblefoot on vocals and guitar on the track "Speak When Spoken To". This is the one that Metal Storm web site wrote, "Organic is a bit more complex and serious than their previous releases, but there are some great killers songs on this CD, and I'm sure that we will have some good moments when they play them during their upcoming tour. Mattias Eklundh is one of the best guitarists ever and believe me, Björn (drums) and Christer (bass) deserves some awards too when we hear their technical performances on the album." The cover painting is made by fabulous French expressionist Thierry Cardinet. 2005.

Alright.......2007-05-26

This is an album they went a little off the deep end. Still must have!

Surprisingly good -- in a Mr. Big, King's X, Zappa and Extreme sort of way.......2006-02-09

I was leery of Freak Kitchen. The name, alone, turned me off. I thought the group would be another modern day heavy metal band big on the wall of sound guitar tone and screams but woefully short on talent and chops.

Freak Kitchen's music caught me off guard, in a positive way.

Organic isn't as riff-oriented as their earlier albums. But it's still full of tasty solos and tongue-in-cheek lyrics. In a way, something about this reminds me of the groups Mr. Big, King's X, Zappa and Extreme. Not sure why.

Some of this frenetic stuff gets tedious after awhile. Mussolini Mind, for example, gets old fast. But then comes Guilt Trip and Becky and my ears get a welcome change of pace.

The vocals (especially some of the layered harmonies) and some of the guitar tones are reminiscent of King's X. Yet, the vocals wear on me after awhile, too.

Overall, I think Freak Kitchen has a ton of talent and a unique sound. The guitarist is a monster. But the humorous, fast-paced lyrics are an acquired taste that I haven't yet acquired.

Still, for a band with the unlikely name of Freak Kitchen, it's all good.

Recommended.

Next guitar god.........2005-10-01

If you love heavy rock...this album will not dissapoint you. No holds bar lyrics which is sometimes funny plus cynical..but with a serious undertone and also serious guitar work. If you only knew Yngwie, Steve Vai or Joe Satriani..then met guitar god Mattias 'IA' Eklundh. Very nice..lightning fast guitar work..with Mattias signature wailing tremolo. You'll gonna love everybit of this album..except the dissapointing fact is that...there isn't any DVD that comes with this album. Amazon sent me a replacement..but again...NO DVD...:(

Definitely Unique.......2005-09-08

Just a quick summary: Freak Kitchen is a three-piece band with not only amazing musicianship and Steve Vai-style guitars, but a wonderful sense of humor and intelligent lyrics which are often hilarious as well. Musicians will appreciate this album for the writing and performance, but it's also pretty accessible and catchy. Highly recommended.

YOU GOTTA LOVE THESE SWEEDES!.......2005-09-03

If you are a fan of heavy guitar rock and have never heard Freak kitchen this albulm is a good start. It is very heavy indeed,yet
the music is very smart and melodic at the same time "Ia's" guitar work is nothing short of brilliant showcasing lightning fast legato runs,crisp out of this world harmonic savagry and it even has a guest guitar solo from Ron Thal (aka Bumblefoot}check this stuff out you won't be sorry!

Fun to listen to, but not good.......2004-05-02

Freak Kitchen has mastered every cliche of tasteless American guitar rock and added their own ridiculous Swedish twist. The solos are miles over the top and the lyrics are cartoonishly bad. I got my copy of this album for free, I think the price was just right. If you're intrigued by a Scandavian charicature of everything wrong with rock music in the States, download some songs but don't waste your money.

So Goddamn Good.......2003-09-18

I wouldn't consider this a progressive album or even a progressive band, but the progressive elements are definetely present. Matthias is absolutely amazing at guitar and the lyrics he writes are extremely Zappa-esque in it's satire. This album can rock out but it also is extremely well done. Really good stuff. Get it for something new and you're sure to fall in love.

10 stars!!.......2003-06-26

Freak Kitchen is a breath of fresh air. Their music is so original. Not a single dead song on this one. Their music has hints of prog, metal, and a slight alternative feel. Basically, they smoke any alternative-new metal band out there because the music has the complexity of prog, the groove of rock, and the balls of metal! I plan on buying more of their stuff. I was very satisfied with Spanking Hour. Excellent songs would include "Walls of Stupidity", "Haw,haw,ha", "Dystopia", and "Spanking Hour". You'll never believe that this music is from Sweden!

Yes, you too will be spanked!.......2000-07-18

I've been jaded at times about the state of intelligently done, progressive hard rock/metal these days, but this album re-affirmed my faith in what can be done without being too derivative or just plain boring. These guys really have it together - driving riffs, cool change-overs, and great lyrics. There's a real skill for songcraft here... at times I heard elements of Kim Mitchell (I think - maybe it's the singer!), Scatterbrain, Extreme (III sides...) and Tiles (who I also highly recommend). Too bad here in the U.S. we only the opportunity to buy Freak Kitchen CDs as imports!

I have owned this album since it was released, and it still one of my all time favourites. It has an energy and sencerity that is hard to be found elsewhere. Ia Ekhlund is the most innovative guitarrist and songwriter in europe!! together with the zany anarchistic drumming of Joakim Sjoberg and tight bass playing from Christer Gronlund i must say...Get this album, you will not regret it.
