After a three year hiatus the swedish westcoast kings return with a new album, and what an album! While the debut was good (even very good in places), "The Second One" sees the boys take on an even more AOR oriented approach than on the previous release, a move very welcome in my book. Don't be mistaken, this is still very much rooted in westcoast-land, but the songs are a bit more straight forward and happily the jazzy guitar solos are kept to a minimum. Only minor complaint are the vocals which are not the strongest, but otherwise this is as good a westcoast release as you are likely to hear in the year 2013. Best tracks: "Mister White", "In The City" and the amazing Bill Champlin-sung "Finally Fair And Balanced".
