Album Notes & Community Reviews

Transitioning entirely away from the jagged, distorted indie-rock of their early work, the Swedish superstars embraced massive, atmospheric balladry on their third album. The soaring, emotionally devastating arrangements of 'Isola' achieved multi-platinum success domestically and prompted the band to re-record an entirely English version for international release.
