On their sixth album, the bombastic Swedes wrap their burly arms around rock's bygone excess, packing two discs with 24 songs. It's a perfect set for folks who think Oasis are too humble, that Pink Floyd lacked ambition. TSOOL lay down Stonehenge riffs and cosmic mumbo jumbo so earnestly and expertly that nearly every outfit they raid from the classic-rock closet flatters them: Check the platform-boot stomp on 'Thrill Me' or the suede-fringe swirl of 'Pictures of Youth.' The only chink in the armor is Ebbot Lundberg's wigged-out musings ('No, we don't belong anymore to the umbilical shore'), which often cross the line from glamorous abstraction into ESL-WTF territory.
