5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Fun and Energy, March 6, 2009

By	FYI (Truth or Consequences, New Mexico) - See all my reviews

Swaggering great electronica, trance, dance, whatever - some of the best. No pretense, just total fun. Break out the glow-sticks and neon clogs. A sincere thanks to these other reviewers for decribing this fun CD so well. Jonas Altberg has a great voice (thankfully squeakless) and he's a wonderfully talented electronica composer who should become better known in this country. No whining here, just celebration.

"I'm Your Bass Creator" is hyperactivity at its best, with a melodic point that sounds like dancing under the Northern Lights in subzero temps while pumped with adrenalin and icy vodka. "DotA Clubmix" and "Russia Privjet" stand out. I speak enough Russian to enjoy the Swedish accent. On several tracks, the Swedish adds hefty Viking bounce. "Throw Your Hands Up" is one of the best totally hyper tracks ever - if Jean Reno playing a thug, or the Penguins of Madagascar could choose music for their nefarious deeds, this would be it. No one could stand still to this electric stimulation.

This CD does not have to pretend to be anything else but total hyper fun. Although there are several slow miss-fires, like "Jingle Bells," the raucious and playful tempo has uninhibited energy and thus is great music to work-out to. The Icelandic Snorri Sturluson sagas lurk within the upbeat, thrusting bass and drums. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Basshunter LOL=Awesomeness, May 26, 2008

By	PoetStud "poetstud" (Anchorage, AK) - See all my reviews

this album was a must have for me ever since i was shown a vid by him from a friend. after that i was hooked. since the US version didnt come out until 2008 i was left with buying it from my friend and i have not stopped listening to it since.

all the songs blend together very well and its just very intoxicating to even stop listening. all the song on it are very good and i cant find one bad song from the album.

LOL is a must have for any techno enthusiast or for someone that wants fast paced music, this album is for you

5.0 out of 5 stars Epic., February 8, 2009

By	J. Rau - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: LOL (MP3 Download)

I originally only bought the song "DotA" out of random interest on iTunes, and it was a fun song. The lyrics were hilarious (look them up if you don't believe me) and the song appealed to my inner techno enthusiast. After finding more songs of theirs on Pandora, I bought LOL, became completely and entirely hooked, and bought the album "Now You're Gone". On LOL, the lyrics are mostly in Swedish, and this is good if you need to do something while listening. The lyrics are really funny for most of the songs and this is something else that got me hooked. I mean, who else can make a song about a robot in an IRC channel (Boten Anna) that B-A?

The only thing I hate is how many variations on the song "Now You're Gone" there are. That song is OK once, but repeated is a bit excessive. Other than that, a kick-butt album!
