A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Phil Ashcroft: It's amazing to think that Bad Habit have been with us for twenty-five years now, quietly going about their business and recording a stream of quality albums. After lengthy periods of inactivity after 'Adult Orientation' (1998) and 'Hear-Say' (2005), 2009's 'Above And Beyond' was perhaps their strongest statement, and it's encouraging to see that the Swedish quintet have kept the ball rolling and may even have delivered their best album, and after a wait of only eighteen months too! With a constant line-up for well over a decade now, band leader Hal Marabel (guitars, keys), Bax Fehling (vocals), Patrik Sodergren (bass), Jaime Salazar (drums) and Sven Cirnski (lead guitar) play consummate AOR with great attention to sublime musicianship and big choruses, of which the thirteen tracks on 'Atmosphere' are all prime examples. http://ping.fm/xeUDK
