Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
After a seven-year absence during which the Norwegian pop trio went off to paint or record solo albums, A-Ha return with Minor Earth Major Sky, their sixth studio album. Recorded in New York over the course of a year, this one is filled with characteristically subtle melodies, sweeping pop production, and a haunting melancholy. Some tracks (like the winsome "Sun Never Shone That Day") border on the bland, but there are songs that have bite--such as the icy, William Orbit-style ballad "Little Black Heart"; the big, blowsy title track; and the satirical "The Company Man," where the band sing frankly of being ripped off by their record label ("Deals fell into our arms / And out of our hands"). There's also a nod to the Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby" in the epic, socially conscious ballad "Mary Ellen Makes the Moment Count." --Lucy O'Brien

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Return, June 23, 2000
By "rbenave" (Santiago - Chile) - See all my reviews
A great return of A-ha, a sound like a Est to the Sun West to the Moon but best, especially "Summer moved on"

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best come-back albums ever, July 19, 2000
By Peter Sapira (Burlington, MA United States) - See all my reviews
A-ha has a gem in Morten Harket whose voice seems to get better with age. The song writing is poignant, lush and perfectly crafted. This is definitely one of my favorite CD's in years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps Their Finest Album
a-ha. They seem to have come full-circle with this album. The lyrics are wiser, matured with life's experience. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars An underrated but triumphant comeback from the '80s doldrums
In this country, a-ha can never seem to escape the one-hit wonder curse of the '80s after "Take On Me" like Kylie Minogue could. This album should prove the critics wrong! Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars A sharp downhill after "Scoundrel Days" . . .
I'm trying to be as kind as possible here. Yes, Harket has an amazing voice. Yes, their first two albums were fantastic and the third was so-so. Read more
