A review of "Loud Pipes Save Lives"
Many people in Sweden are sick and tired of E-Type. He can't really sing or rap, most of his songs sound pretty much alike, and he's not always in his best mood during interviews. His image is also pretty weird: despite rapping on trashie disco tunes, he looks like a heavy metal fan! Me and my colleague H.C. often laugh at his songs.
And yet, we cannot stop listening to them...
E-Type's music is catchy in an uncanny sort of way. At least on CD. Live is another matter entirely. "Loud pipes save lives" is probably the man's best album. It includes the hit "Paradise" and the songs "Camilla", "The Predator", "Dans La Fantasie" and "If heaven were to fall" (to mention just the best). The female singer Na Na is featured on several of the tracks. She's almost a proverbial "fat lady who sings".
BTW, did you know that E-Type's father is a well known presenter of natural science programs on Swedish television? Shows what a small country this is!
If Euro-trash disco isn't your cup of tea, you will probably hate the guts of this Swedish Viking. But if you love catchy pop tunes, you might want to check out "Loud pipes save lives".
