Album Review: INVSN - INVSN

Dennis Lyxzén is not one to sit still. Even after a wonderful career in near-perfect hardcore outfit Refused and great political punk rockers The International Noise Conspiracy, the man has more to say. So comes INVSN (that's “Invasion” for those reading aloud), the man's latest work. What it lacks in anger and surprises, it partially makes up for in pop hooks. Easily the most straightforward release attached to the man, the record never really escapes the trappings of its style. This is neat, to-the-point, pop-influenced punk rock and it knows it.
