Introduction
With its first album, "... ja me
tehtiin rakkautta", Se was almost totally out of trends. With this
second album, "Pahaa unta?", Se was much more trendy: guitar sound had lots of
distortion and songs stayed within the limits of pop. The darker atmosphere
was already spreading into the New Wave and this album fits well with
that. In the Finnish New Wave "Pahaa unta?" was a great influencer. This can be heard
for example in albums "Ruusuinen tulevaisuus" (1980) by Vaavi,
"Etkö rakastaisi..." (1981) by Loose Prick and "Hyvä pahaa
rock'n'roll" (1982) by Raine Salo. In 2005 the jury selected by rock
magazine Soundi voted "Pahaa unta?" to be the 41st best Finnish rock
album ever.
In Soundi review (6/1980) Mikkola wrote (translation by me):
"The cover of the album is leopard leather and the people in Yari's songs
are part humans, part animals, carcasses of angels, swinging hips,
loving, irritated and desperate creatures. There's also daylight, a
lot, but not much of sunshine, more depression and strong feelings. In
a way I think this is noble, this painful and sometimes touchingly
tender realism. [...] This record tells about humans, although it
might be just a bad dream."

mietit mitä kaikkea vois tehdä

ja joku muu jota vihata
