Descripción (en inglés)
Full title - 39 Minutes Of Bliss (In An Otherwise Meaningless World). 2003 compilation, culled from the Swedish garage rock act's first three albums, 'Youth Is Wasted On The Young' (1998), 'Cherry Kicks' (2000), & 'Love For The Streets' (2002), all of which are big hits. Their sound combines the Farfisa organ-drenched sound of 60's era garage rock with a contemporary pop thrust. But while 60's referencing power-pop bands are a dime a dozen, what sets the Caesars apart is their reliance on creating as much an infectious groove as adrenalin pumping rock. 12 tracks. Virgin.

Rock may have been born in America, but a national obsession with the trendy has often begat cultural amnesia when it comes to musical roots. Hence offshore bands like the Vines and Hives recycle '90s grunge/punk and '80s new wave with newfound energy, sometimes finding themselves ironically hailed as rock saviors. Sweden's Caesars don't have salvation on their minds. In fact their '60s garage rock shtick seems doubly recycled, seven of the dozen songs here hailing from a previous 1998 incarnation. Which isn't to say they don't do spiritual forebears like the Swingin' Medallions and ? & the Mysterians proud. Powered by pumping Farfisa-clone organ, trashy guitars, and a suitably snotty vocal attitude, they careen amiably through a sharp cover of the Endd's "Out of My Hands" and originals that range from spunky ("Jerk It Out," "Sort It Out," "You're My Favorite") to spooky ("Suzy Creamcheese"). If there's irony at work here (other than a contemporary Swedish band evoking the spirit of '60s American garage punk and '80s UK new wave, that is) the Caesar's have largely buried it in an avalanche of infectious spirit. --Jerry McCulley

- Heated garages in Sweden?

OK...as someone who hungrily bought almost every new garage band single as it got airplay on WIBG in Philly during the 60's, I can say that The Caesars' music is just as exciting as those "hits" were way back when AM radio and transistor radios were all the rage. In the tradition of The Standells, The Hondells, The Trashmen, The Blues Magoos, The Knickerbockers, Bobby Fuller Four, The Nazz, and on an on, these guys have the raw energy, the infectious beats, the Farfisa, the pretensions of psychedelia -- everything they need to make an eminently popular POP tune. The difference between this collection vs. the 60's bands -- this "greatest hits" compilation has a good number of 60's-era-style hits. So you've heard it all before? Sure. But that hasn't stopped you from buying The Hives, The Vines, The Strokes, White Stripes, Inspiral Carpets, Jet, The Black Crows, Early Elvis Costello -- or, if you think about it, almost any other band's CD over the past 40 years. Everyone borrows from everyone. Yet, the music is still fun! Go buy it!

- Great

Caesar's Palace, The Caesars, The Twelve Caesars - they're all the same group. They go by different names depending on location - Twelve Caesars in most of Scandinavia, The Caesars in North America, and Caesar's Palace in Sweden, most of europe, and the rest of the world.

They currently have five albums:

39 Minutes of Bliss (as The Caesars)

Paper Tigers (as The Caesars)

Youth Is Wasted On The Young (as The Twelve Caesars)

Cherry Kicks (as Caesar's Palace)

Love For The Streets (as Caesar's Palace)

I hope this helps clarify some things.

I give EVERY SINGLE ALBUM five out of five stars - great vocals, great leads, great base, great melodies, great everything. If you like rock, don't pass this up.

- Amazing

I picked this up when it first came out for 11 bucks from A&B sound. It was dollar for dollar the best CD I have ever purchaced. If you like quirky lyrics, great beats and an all around awsome CD pick this up!

- I LOVE THE ORGAN!!!!

Good rock album, if you like Franz Ferdinand, Oasis, Jet, Hives, and are into sixties rock n roll. Very straight ahead songs, with silly Ramonesesque lyrics, "I wanna smoke crack, cuz I'm never gonna get you back" in the opening track Sort it Out. The standout track would have to be Jerk it Out though, a classic in the making.

- a hidden gem!

While browsing for cd's at my local record store I couldn't help but notice the music playing in the background. I couldn't make out who it was, but I knew I liked it. Song after song, I became more and more impressed to the point where I did something I have never done before. I walked up to the sales clerk and asked who was playing this infectious sound and how much it would be for me to take it home. Without knowing who the were, what they were about or where they were even from I bought 39 minutes of Bliss. When I got home I was not disappointed, their upbeat anthems cascaded with organs and harding hitting guitar were a breath of fresh air to the so-called garage rock revival of the past two years. I implore those of you out there to take a chance on this swedish diamond in the rough, you will not be disappointed.
