Some releases are not that easy to predict than others. I had this with the new album of Swedish singer/guitarist Jay Smith. The guy from Helsingborg won the Swedish Idol competition in 2010. After relasing his debut in 2010 Smith worked on the second full-length album called "King of man".
The first thing you have to face is the cover of the album. It shows Smith in a posture which could also be from a promotion poster for 'Sons of anarchy' - the US biker series. Doubtless the guy is in good shape, but what's about the music. This is what counts in the end.
