Super rare-hard to find albums, First Time Ever on CD .Hold Your Head Up is one amazing rock song made famous by the band ARGENT. Loaded with prog, art-rock and serious grungy guitars, might be the highlight of the album and will rock your face off. It weaves in and out and then hits you with with repetitive HOLD YOUR HEAD UP, HOLD YOUR HEAD UP, HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH... like motivation, even the saddest human will believe they can conquer the world after one listen to this song.

Very good Swedish vocalist who's music wavers between catchy melodic aor, and bubbly pop rock, with a mid-west feel, and not a filler in sight! Highly recommended!
