In 1999 the Swedes released their debut "The Last Adventures Of Captain Dog" and received mostly positive feedback for their through and through solid Rock album. Their partly bluesy Rock reminded of old veterans like JETHRO TULL, KISS, LED ZEPPELIN and TED NUGENT as well as newer genre representatives as KYUSS, CATHEDRAL or the SPIRITUAL BEGGARS. But that was not enough, Heavy Metal riffs in the style of old METALLICA also time and again found their way into the songs of the Scandinavians. With this CD they walk on the razor's edge between Seventies Rock, Stoner Rock of the 90s and a few Metal elements is great and at the same time very entertaining. The songs of "Captain Dog Rides Again" have been recorded in Berno Studios (THE HAUNTED, DERANGED), so also in terms of production there is no room for complaints. "Iron Cage", "Would I Make You Believe" and "Unsellable" flow from the speakers very powerfully, while "Follow The Fools" and "Back Off" especially convince through their calm, almost hypnotizing parts. No matter how BLIND DOG approach the songs, they almost always manage to leave a lasting impression. Despite their progression, the three Northmen have stayed true to themselves and should satisfy fans of their first album without any problems and with good promotion also find enough new listeners. In this condition "Captain Dog" may saddle his horse many times still and preach the world of Rock'N'Roll.

Well shit fire son; this heres one badass rock n roll record! Blind Dog were always the best band of MeteorCitys Viking Rock Trifecta—outshining fellow Swedes, The Mushroom River Band and Lowrider. This in itself was no easy feat as both of those bands kick major ass, but Blind Dog always seemed to go the extra mile in terms of sonic breadth and interesting song structures.

With this their second release, the trio returns with the staples that made their debut album so damn good: burly guitars pushed up front in the mix, vocals that range from a soulful tenor to rasping angst, fuzzed out single note grooves, and massive riffs. The mix is perfect, with everything loud enough and in all the right places. The real treat is the songwriting.

This album has it all—gigantic riffs, a killer electric piano solo, guitars by the metric ton, waltzes, shuffles, an homage to Hendrix, and enough twists and turns to keep any listener engaged and surprised. Well done gentlemen. Well worth the wait. "
