JÄRNGUSTAV – Tiden läker inga sår (Nackspärr, 1978)

Swedish vocals
International relevance: **
 
Gävle band Järngustav released this private pressing (a couple of hundred copies only) after only one year in existence, and you can tell they hadn't rehearsed enough in time for the album sessions – drummer Peter Östlund's sense of rhythm is less than perfect and Urban Nilsson's vocals lack personality. The songs aren't very interesting either, being mainly predictable mid-tempo rock. The side long title track bites off more than Järngustav could chew. Obviously the product of the idea that an album needs an overlong track, they struggle with even the simplest time signature changes that lack compositional logic to begin with.
