Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Norwegian chameleons completely pivoted away from the colossal alternative rock of their previous decade, immersing themselves in lush, 1970s-style orchestral pop. 'Let Them Eat Cake' utilizes sweeping horn sections, mellotrons, and tight vocal harmonies, standing as a remarkably bright and sophisticated progressive rock achievement.
