Critical reception
[edit]Anders Nunstedt of Expressen wrote: "The opening is sensational. First some chords on something that sounds like a deformed harp, then a disco beat that brings to mind old Pet Shop Boys and a synth riff that could have been signed by Depeche Mode. [...] The melody is irresistible and the lyrics, with their deep darkness and references to Hagnesta Hill, are immediately shocking. The Swedish single of the fall, without a doubt."[1]
Håkan Steen of Aftonbladet wrote: "'Ingenting' is a strikingly direct Kent single, with a disco-dance elegance that breathes early 80s and old synth heroes. The melody becomes a good friend already during the first listen."[2] Fredrik Welander of Dagens Skiva wrote: "A usual bitter view from Joakim Berg. This time over an eighties synth beat with thick polyphonic sounds, electronic handclaps and distorted guitars after the chorus. Some lost piano notes and an enticing bass."[3]
