    "Out Of Our Sheds" was originally released in 1991 and received lots of rave reviews, but also contempt; a band from Sweden couldn't possibly sound like that. The bands originality and the dark lyrics, filled with a great deal of black humour, generated strong reactions; being Swedish and deal with such heavy topics was hardly OK at the time. And with a band name taken from a Monty Python sketch, things didn't get any easier. So it was not much of a surprise that a major Swedish magazine critic dismissed the album with a comment stating that a band who makes a cover of "My Little Pony" could not be taken seriously. But the song is an original composition with very serious lyrics and the writer obviously didn’t listen to the album before he reviewed it... Despite the bands controversy, they were mostly praised, e.g:

    • "Two Sheds is a furious incitement machine that someone managed to curb just before it's about to run away ... It's impossible to leave the hifi" Mattias Hansson, Nöjesguiden

    • "Two Sheds from Malmö released their first full length album, and everything that previously was suggested, bursts into full bloom." Håkan Engström, Sydsvenska Dagbladet

    Two Sheds released "Not Good" their second and final album in 1993, a record which got an even better reception in the press than its predecessor. The album was darker and heavier than "Out of Our Sheds" but yet more dynamic. The controlled chaos is mixed with softer and also acoustic elements, and the melodies are even more self-confident than previously. Even the worst detractors were silenced and the press fully took Two Sheds' odd and uncomfortable rock to their hearts.

    • "They are totally unique in the timid Swedish pop scene. Hail them as Kings!" Lars Aldman, Sound Affects

    • "What a rock pleasure, I’m amazed!" Björn Gyllix, Helsingborgs Dagblad

    • "The Malmö band Two Sheds - the Sparks of the nineties - has released the album of the year" Magdalena Väpnargård, Idag

    • "The reason Two Sheds triumph, without being the least innovative, is probably depending on the fact that they’re not for a second glancing at the current musical climate." JJK, Nöjesguiden

    • "Malmö's Two Sheds could without any doubt come from across the Atlantic, but that's not case and that's something we probably should be very proud of." Pettersborg, Close Up

    [i]• "On 'Not Good' Two Sheds is just as ironic, wacky, intense, affected, tear filled, distinctive, country coloured, humorous, amazed, ...
