What's your thoughts on Audiovision's Focus album?

Not as memorable as the first one but they do a great cover of Stryper's The Way. I only have a ripped copy so I don't have the actual track listing

Count me in as one of the few who probably liked this even better than the first Audiovision album.

Not enough focus...

Any album with Torbjörn Weinesjö on guitar is good in my book.  I don't favor either Audiovision album over the other.  I enjoy both.  Not my favorite outing from Christian Liljegren, but not least favorite either.

Generally I would agree, but this one is a bit too much on the pop side for me, plus Torb had an awful hair dew during this time!

A bands hairdo is what I always take into consideration when deciding if I'm gonna support a band. Let's face it Impending Doom has awesome music but I cant support them because I don't like their hair. Same holds true for Audiovision

At least Christian's hair looks better than Torb on that video

If you like Christian's voice and to-the-point lyrics then you'll dig this release.  I find his singing hum drum, so it's just a so-so metal release to me.  Guitarist is Roy Z-ish, so if you like his playing that's another weighing point.

I listened to it again today but I've never paid attention to their hair.

I do hope everyone knows the hair comment was a joke...(though it was really bad!)

I like the lp, just not as much as i think I initially did, perhaps I should give it another spin soon...

the first Audiovision album was much better IMO....probably the best album i've heard christian sing on...
the 2nd one just didn't stay a keeper for me.

Yes, the songwriting on this was very good....I find that on Narnia his voice sounds very samey, where on the first Audiovision i think his vocals suited that more than anything else he's every done...Having said that, there are many Narnia songs that musically are killer (cos of Carljohan's playing), but Christian's vocals just don't stand out......

Pft!

Haha.  I hadn't seen that video before.  I like the short-haired headbanging.   I don't mind the pop element so much.  Poppy hair metal was my intro into metal.  I would say Divinefire is my favorite band with Christian on vocals.
