Log 22 is the fifth studio album by the Dutch band Bettie Serveert, released in 2003.

Critical reception

[edit]

Log 22 received mixed to generally favorable reviews. PopMatters thought that the album worked best "when the band go all-out in their shameless worshipping of The Velvet Underground, and three of the album's lengthier tracks mark the album's finest moments."[6] Exclaim! wrote that producer Peter Visser "seemingly includes every great idea they had during recording, and leaves listeners with the feeling they just ate an entire chocolate cake. It's increasingly cloying and claustrophobic, and too much to sustain for a full 60 minutes."[7]
