Press Reviews "This is so bad it's good." - Fellow mp3.com artist. ---- "Great work! Once you have listened to this music, you'll have to do it every day." - Fellow mp3.com artist ---- "Kapten Kalsong isn't the kind of artist who tries to give the listeners what they want. He says whatever it is that he has to say and he doesn't care whether anybody is listening or not, in fact that is completely beside the point. This makes him an essential complement to the musical spectrum of today. Kapten Kalsong is not an imitator, he is a real character!" - Music critic
