Do sweet pop gemsicles grow on the bushes in Sweden? Yes!! And does Labrador collect these tasty said gemsicles, package them, and then unleash them on the proles of the world? Indeed!

This is a positive review in favor of everyone owning this product.

Large compilation broken into sections based on time of release. The first 2 discs are weak. I say this because they sound contrived as if copying bands like Belle & Sebastian, Sigur Ros, Kings of Convenience etc. Very fluffy and twee. Then dics 3 opens up a whole new world of authentically original songs. Disc 3 is great apart from probably one of the best songs musically and worst lyrically on the compilation. The song is about small breasts. Maybe the guy singing it has a small peenee but that we never find out. I do still have to listen to dics 4 but I am guessing that these guys caught up with the rest of the indie world around the 2003 mark. You keep getting better Labrador!
