“Bad Mad Man” is the title of Sven Larsson’s second solo album and the same formula was used as on “Sunlight And Shadow”, which was released in March of 2010: a mix of AOR and westcoast, a mix of vocal and instrumental tracks and the addition of several lead vocalists. If we omit the two instrumentals, “Green Unit” and “Welcome To My Island”, we’re left with 9 vocal tracks of which only 4 are sung by Larsson himself. Invited were Göran Edman & Anders Ahlund (each for 2 tracks) and Thomas Eriksson (for 1 track). Of course (and once again) this created a lot of variation, but this is exactly my point of criticism. Mr Larsson tries to get so much in one album that it loses the coherence, which is really a pity, because he knows to write and perform decent stuff. I can only hope that he finds the right direction for his third (crucial) album …
