After taking a one-year timeout, Kent returned to the studio to record their sixth studio album in 2004. Studio reports said it would be “a very dark album”. The first single ” Max 500 ” was released on 9 February 2005 and reached number one in Sweden and Norway. The album Du & jag döden (You & Me Death) was released in March, it was well-received by critics and became a fan favorite. Two more singles were released, ” Palace & Main ” and ” Den döda vinkeln ” (The Dead Angle) – the last one stirring up some controversy among fans because Kent did not release any b-sides along with it (the single has a shorter version of the song). The last song on the album, “Mannen i den vita hatten (16 år senare)” (The Man in the White Hat (16 Years Later)) is seen by many as Kent’s best effort. It also became the song to replace ” 747 ” as the concert closer.
