5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, June 11, 2009

Radiohead Freak (Denver CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Foot of the Mountain (Audio CD)

What a fantastic album, start to finish. Possibly the world's best (and certainly most underrated!) pop band takes off the gloves, goes back to the synth sound that made them global stars years ago, and takes back what Keane has tried to steal. The first single debuted high in Europe, entering the charts at #3 in some countries, and will definitely crack the top 10 in England - just like their album and lead single Analogue did 4 years ago. And once again, America will miss out. Blame radioplay. Blame poor marketing. Or just blame the unfortunate 80s label they've shed everywhere else but in the States. Buy it, listen to it, and love it. 10 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another fantastic album, June 15, 2009

This review is from: Foot of the Mountain (Audio CD)

Yet another great a-ha album. This time, with a throw back to their earlier sound- but very modern and definitely not a copy of anything they've already done. Morten has one of the best voices ever in pop music and a-ha have been producing some great music for years. It's so frustrating that America considers them a " one hit wonder." I agree with another reviewer- poor marketing keeps them out of the American spotlight. I've been saying it for the past four albums-- but I bet this one would do really well in America if America knew it existed. I'm American and when I talk about a-ha, most people don't even know that they're still around. Very strange. Just keep talking about it...maybe it will catch on.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best album of A-ha, June 11, 2009

The album marks a return to the classic pop sound that made a-ha one of the biggest acts in the world. The ten new songs carry echoes of the band's early signature hits: 'Take On Me', 'The Sun Always Shines On TV' and 'I've Been Losing You'.
If you like the first album Hunting High and Low and Mayor Earth Minor Sky, You will love this one!
