3, as you will have gathered reading so far. Including the signature estranging rhythms, guitar licks, long riffs and all. There's no holding back here, no budgetary restraints. These are just influences that have always been a part of Kaizers Orchestra's music, only fully blown up to its full potential.
The ambition is very high on Violeta, Violeta, Vol 3. In other words, parts of this album are unreproducible on stage. Slightly drunk and very sentimental, this song will work wonders for pub tigers's vocal expressions. Ending with a refrain suitable for a late night singing foray in the local pub. 'Forloveren' is a strange mix of rock and classic showing the ambition the band has on Vol. As in general there are a lot of strings and horns behind the band on this album, lending the album a distinct eastern-European, almost classical flavour. 'Begravelsespolka' has a huge choir dubbed into the mix which brings the song to a huge climax of emotions. 3 is Kaizers Orchestra most opera minded album to date. As I do not speak Norwegian, let alone the dialect Jan Ove Ottensen sings in, I have no clue what the trilogy is about, but musically there is more than enough to enjoy to make the album, once again, very interesting. 3 is, as the title suggests, the third album of a trilogy. At the moment I'm looking forward to the next show end February. Ever since 'Ompa til du dør' was released in The Netherlands in 2002 I've followed the band and saw them play many a time. It's always a pleasure to have a new Kaizers Orchestra album in the player. You can listen to 'Aldri Vodka, Violeta' here.
