"The Deep End" is a 2005 album by Madrugada, a Norwegian alternative rock band. It was received with considerable acclaim and is the third studio album by the group. The album primarily features alternative rock music, but it includes elements of various genres.
Recorded during 2004 in Los Angeles, U.S., "The Deep End" captures the band's raw and authentic power. The creative forces behind the album include renowned producer George Drakoulias. This album was a significant record post the band's second studio album "Grit" and the departure of their original drummer, Jon Lauvland Pettersen.
"The Deep End," despite having a change in the lineup, proved a critical success. It showcases the band's melancholic music sensibilities seamlessly merged with powerful rock tunes. Songs like "The Kids Are on High Street" and "Majesty" demonstrate the band's prowess and ability to capture the listeners' hearts, further strengthening their unique sound and positioning in the music universe.
The album peaked on the charts and achieved commercial success not only in Norway but also across Europe. It is also revered for its authentic and potent lyrics and songwriting, which was chiefly driven by Sivert Høyem and Robert Burås, the band's key members. число
The album was followed by a European tour, fortifying Madrugada's reputation as a live touring band. Though the band underwent a tragic setback with the death of Robert Burås in 2007, their music continues to live on, with 'The Deep End' being a shining gem in their discography.
