Album Notes & Community Reviews

Composed entirely by Gregory Allan Fitzpatrick, this eccentric masterpiece was performed by the revered Swedish progressive group Samla Mammas Manna. The entirely instrumental record translates roughly to 'The Brats' Symphony' and navigates incredibly complex, fast-paced musical shifts with a distinctly playful, avant-garde sense of humor. It remains a pinnacle of the quirky, highly technical Rock in Opposition aesthetic in Scandinavia.
