Four by Four is the seventh studio album by the Swedish rock band Backyard Babies, released on 28 August 2015 by Gain Music Entertainment.[1] It was the band's first studio album in seven years, following a five-year hiatus that ended in 2014.[1] The album reached number 2 on the Swedish albums chart.[2]

Reception

The album received generally favorable reviews, with both Punk Rock Theory[3] and Ghost Cult magazine[4] praising the band for picking up where they left of seven years before. Mixed reviews came from Sleaze Roxx, which criticized the album's focus on pop-punk as opposed to the band's heavier sound on previous albums,[5] while Pure Rawk disdained the album's attempts at ballads and bluesy rock songs.[6] However, MyGlobalMind praised the album's occasional experiments with new sounds and concluded that the band developed a more mature style during their recent hiatus.[7]
