The Difference was described to me as progressive rock, but I think it is more than progressive rock. The vocals sometimes have this really metallish touch, I never heard this kind of vocals in Rock. And now and then the drummer uses some double-bass passages. But these things don’t make The Difference a metal band. Except the song Dying In Vain, which is a real metal song with some Göteborg metal guitar riffs, and it is quite good, I must say!

There is just one band that come up in my mind when I listen to Lost in mass confusion: Iron Maiden. I don’t know why, It is way slower than Maiden, and actually doesn’t sound like Maiden at all, but for some reason it passed my thoughts every time I hear Lost in mass confusion. Weird. I think it's the song structures and the atmosphere on this record. Sorry, I cant find a better way to describe it (just listen to it and you will agree). The lyrics are about death, pain and misery. Combined with the music it creates a terrific dark atmosphere.

This record has got everything a good rock album needs: A great voice, some nice guitar riffs, great guitar solo’s and a good production.
About the solo’s. It has been a while I’ve heard a cd with some good solo’s on it. I don’t mean technical solo’s now, I’ve heard a lot of these the last weeks, but I mean solo’s with feeling, solo which (almost) make you weep. Damn, these solo’s on Lost in mass confusion are just awesome.

I must say it is hard to compare this record with something else, and that is in my opinion a good thing!
Although it is a great album, I must admit I cannot play this record two times in a row because it makes me a little depressed, but I’m sure many people will like it that way.

My conclusion: Lost in mass confusion really is one of the best rock albums I own.
