Du & jag döden

After taking a one-year timeout, Kent returned to the studio to record their sixth album in 2005. Studio reports said it would be “a very dark album”. The first single released, Max 500, was well-received by both fans and critics and became, as the last three singles had, a radio hit. When the album Du & jag döden (You & me, Death) was released, it was very well-received and was considered by most fans to be one of their best albums. Two more singles were released, “Palace & Main” and “Den döda vinkeln” (The Dead Angle) – the last one stirring up some controversy among Kent fans because Kent didn’t release any b-sides along with it (but still the single has a shorter version of the song). The last track on the album, “Mannen i den vita hatten (16 år senare)” (The Man in the White Hat (16 Years Later)) was very well-received and is seen by many fans as Kent’s best effort. It also became the first song ever to replace “747” as the finale of a Kent concert.
