Said about the new album "5 am" in Swedish
Press! 
"Bang!"
- Erik Süss - Arbetarbladet 4 out of 5
"Bang!" "...
singer Mikael Andersson-Knut sounds really mean on "5 am"..."they
play the kind of dirty rehearsal room indie rock that glows so much that their
hometown Sundsvall are likely to burn down to the ground again. But out of this
fire comes pop melodies that I would give up my right, no wait, left arm to be
able to write.
The Confusions have never been this vital. Is "5 am"
their ticket to all the big festivals this summer? I hope so.
"5
am" the best we've heard from The Confusions - Mona Hallen, Dagbladet
"The
opening tracks "It's a miracle", "Imagination" and "Silver"
are superb songs, these songs makes the record go for an instant knock out".
"...Filled with excitement and electricity". 
A
rock record with grace - Björn Bostrand, Länstidningen 4 out of 5
"...
even when the band is rocking they do it with class and the great melodies are
always present. "Imagination", single "Artificial", "Window"
and "Don't Let The World Catch You Crying" are pure schoolbook examples
of a perfect mix between Liverpool pop and Bowie-rock."
"Simply
a killer record" - Jonathan Strandlund, Nya Wermlands-Tidningen
"The
opening number is fantastic. The rocker "It's A Miracle" punches you
directly with distorted vocals and a brilliant sing along chorus." "Influences
from The Beatles, Stones and Zeppelin flickers by in all the songs and the person
that can't tap their hands and stomp their feet to these 10 outstanding songs
have probably lost all their interest in music completely."
"One
of many great bands right now" - Torbjörn Claesson, Piteå Tidningen
3 / 5
In the distorted "It's A Miracle" they create a desperate,
nervy feeling that gets in under your skin. But this record also brings you classic
rock songs, and in a song like "Silver" and in "How Do You Seep"
the monotony of the indie-pop meets with perfect Beatles-pop."
Confusions
clean out their references - Lisa Olaison, Sundsvalls Tidning 4 / 5
"This
is a rock album from the start with "It's A Miracle" and "Imagination".
The sound is more noisy than usual and that's just great."
