Lars Gullin Vol.4 1959-1960 (Stockholm Street) - Lars Gullin

Advantages: Funny, upbeat rap
Disadvantages: Not for everyone

...the current record industry in a classy and tasteful way, creating not only good music but pointing out a few home truths.

MC Lars does have an EP out, 'The Laptop' which although does have a couple of crossover songs from this album, if you get the chance to listen, also features some incredibly new and upbeat tracks. MC Lars is one of those artists you will either love or hate, and personally i love him. I would certainly recommend listening to some free sample of his music before purchasing this album, because what i see as a musical genious, many see as a talentless yob Track Listings 1.

Yet the classic Sabbath sound is still very much in evidence... Read review
