"There’s always a lot of apprehension when a band replaces their lead singer. After all, vocalists can make or break a band – just ask Sammy Hagar and John Corabi. But in the case of Autumn, the newest addition to the group, upstart female vocalist Marjan Welman, may actually gain the approval of more fans.

[quote]“Arabic cafes are very real things, and social oases in the warm evenings -- and this is a very good, appropriate soundtrack to twilight hours of strong caffeine consumption. There's some wonderfully strong music, whether it's the glorious, stunning oud playing of Amer Ammouri or the classic singing of Oum Kalthoum (who would bring the entire Middle East to a standstill every Thursday night with her radio broadcasts) on "Ahoya al Raieh el Mojed." Many of the names aren't as well known, like singer Amal Murkus, who brings an arresting quality to "Ya Oud," or percussionist Mahmoud Fadl. Maurice el Medioni, still a force in Algerian music, harks back in time to a more genteel era, while Tony Hanna & the Yugoslavian Gipsy Brass Band might seem like an odd choice, but they show the strong connections between Romany music and the Middle East (the word Gypsy came from Egyptian). Although it veers toward Middle Eastern jazz on a couple of cuts, by and large this is a very rooted album that keeps the sensibilities close to a Maghrebi sunset, superbly programmed and compiled, a very strong showcase of the music of the Middle East, old and new. ” – [/quote]

Revolution is the third album of the Swedish band BAD HABIT. Originally released in 1995 via Megarock, the record turned into a collector's item over the years. In 2003 the album got re-released under the title "Revolution r.e.d.u.x.", but many fans are still in search for a copy. With the 2009 re-release they finally get another chance to fill the gap in their collection. The re-release is limited to 500 copies and features two bonus tracks: an alternative version of BAD HABIT's first single "Need Somebody" and a cover version of the BALANCE classic "In For The Count". Both songs were recorded in 1989 and match well with the sound and style of the original tracks. Revolution is definitely BAD HABIT's heaviest album to date and comparable with TREAT, ALIEN and STAGE DOLLS of that time. This album is recommended to all the lovers of Scandinavian Melodic Rock and AOR.
