Kristofer Aström - So Much For Staying Alive (LP)Keine Verschnaufpause fr den FIRESIDE Snger: Nur wenige Monate nach seinem letzten, hochgelobten Longplayer "Loupita" meldet sich Kristofer Astrm schon wieder mit einem neuen Album zurck.

Keine Verschnaufpause für den FIRESIDE-Sänger: Nur wenige Monate nach seinem letzten, hochgelobten Longplayer "Loupita" meldet sich Kristofer Aström schon wieder mit einem neuen Album zurück. Diesmal allerdings wesentlich seltener mit Unterstützung einer weiblichen Stimme, sondern vor allen Dingen begleitet von seiner Band HIDDEN TRUCK. Die darf nämlich diesmal ihre bislang prominenteste Rolle spielen. Schade nur, dass der Einstieg mit "Midnight sun" etwas espritlos ausfällt: Weder die Gitarren noch die Vocals erzeugen die von Werken wie "Northern light" oder dem Vorgänger lieb gewonnene Atmosphäre. Doch beim anschließenden, flotten "The good you bring" ist vorübergehend wieder alles beim Alten ... ja sogar ein wenig Rock hält Einzug in das altbekannte Singer/Songwriter-Format. Ein neues Stilmittel, welches später bei "The black dog" sogar richtig aufdringlich wird. Das kommt sympathisch, ebenso wie der pfiffige "Frankfurt blues". Im Verlauf der dreiviertel Stunde folgen dann sogar einmal ungewöhnlich dominante Piano-Töne in "The burn" und "Empty hands", bevor sich der Protagonist auf "Until tomorrow" dann in etwas seltsamen Synthie-Streichern verliert. Doch keine Angst, es gibt unter den zwölf Songs auch noch genügend klassisches ASTRÖM-Material, darunter beispielsweise das schwelgerische "Man of steel". Fazit: "So Much For Staying Alive" ist vielleicht nicht Kristofer Aströms bestes Album, nimmt in seinem Abwechslungsreichtum aber dennoch eine Sonderstellung in der Diskografie des Schweden ein.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large
High quality, big toy, perfect for a medium to large size dog. After a few months of serious chewing I had to buy another one, but well worth the money! Rocky loves it.

Great toy but if your dog is an aggressive chewer, please think twice.
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I received this on May 23rd and on June 8th, after playing with this thing every day, our recently acquired 36 lb dog finally ripped it open and got out all the plastic and the squeaky part. Lily Belle will miss you, chicken. Lily loooooved this toy! She'd toss it in the air, chew on it, pull it with her teeth etc. but as much as she loved it, we won't replace it. It's just not durable enough for her. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, you might want to try a different toy. I hate that this lasted just a smidge over two weeks because Lily seemed to truly enjoy this toy. RIP, squeaky chicken!

Great Value Toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large, Color: Crinkle Duck (Blue), Size: Large
This toy has been one of my dog’s absolute favorites. He gets excited every time he sees it and will carry it around the house, toss it in the air, and keep himself entertained for a long time. The shape and texture seem perfect for him, and it quickly became one of his go-to toys over everything else in his basket. What I really like is that it holds up reasonably well for the price. It’s definitely not indestructible, and after a lot of play, it will sometimes start to rip—usually around the feet first since that’s where my dog tends to grab and chew the most. But honestly, considering how affordable it is, I don’t mind replacing it when needed. It’s inexpensive enough that rebuying feels worth it because he genuinely loves it that much. I’d rather keep buying a toy he is obsessed with than spend more on something that just sits untouched. It’s fun, cute, and keeps him happy, which is what matters most. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it for dogs who love plush toys and playful chewing.

Best affordable squeaker toy
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large, Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
my dog is obsessed with this toy, this has became his new comfort toy and after having this for about four months the legs are falling off but it’s very durable. The squeaker also moved from the head of the chicken to the body of the chicken but that’s after it was played with every single day. I love that it has two squeakers and it’s the perfect toy for my dog.

My dogs favorite toy EVER
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I have a Belgian Malinois who loves any and every toy, but this one is definitely her favorite. She will walk around the house constantly carrying it in her mouth, which is honestly adorable to watch. The squeakers only lasted a couple of months, but I don’t really consider that a downside—I’m kind of grateful they didn’t last forever given how much she plays with it. It still remains one of her most-loved toys even without them. My only word of caution is that if you work from home, this toy makes a lot of crinkling noise. And I mean A LOT. It’s great for keeping the dog entertained, but it can definitely get a little frustrating for humans trying to focus or take calls. Overall, it’s been a big hit in our house and easily one of her favorite toys.
