Album Notes & Community Reviews

Riding the massive international success of the single 'Lovefool', the Swedish ensemble delivered an impeccably crafted collection of lounge-inflected pop. Beneath the pristine production and Nina Persson's sweet vocal delivery lies a sharply cynical, melancholic lyrical core. The sophisticated arrangements helped establish them as one of the most musically proficient acts of the 1990s alternative boom.
