OK All you ACE OF BASE fans. I know that Ace of Base have not had an album released in almost 4 years (don't worry they will SOON), but Du Buzz's album is pretty damn close.

It is filled with CATCHY, UPBEAT tracks with GREAT MELODIES. There is not a single bad song on this album. 11 out of 12 songs belong to DANCE/POP genre. Track 11 (Out of Words) is a BEAUTIFUL yet UPBEAT BALLAD. It is similar in style to Backstreet Boys' "As Long As You Love Me" (maybe because both of these are written by Swedish composers).

Also, If you are a fan of such performers as ABBA or BRITNEY SPEARS this album is deffinitely for you.

There Are also 2 songs that have more of that CLUB VOCAL TRANCE/DANCE Sound. These are tracks #9 (I Wanna be Free) and track #12 (AWESOME REMIX of track #1).

This album is a GREAT addition to any CD collection. Once again Sweden brings us a great album.If you like this album, also check out these GREAT ALBUMS: Dj Encore (Intuition), Milk Inc (Land of the Living), Lasgo (Some Things), SOAP (SOAP), Antique (Die For You), Ian Van Dahl (ACE), Tess (One Love to Justify).

There aren't words that can describe the wonderful pleasure in the music and the lyrics of "Da Buzz." It is absolutely outstanding. This album is amazing. There isn't a category that this kind of music can fall into, it is so unique, it is in a category of it's own. Annika's voice is so angelic and beautiful. This band deserves much more attention than they have received. The voices on this album are amazing, they are so pure, not mixed to sound as if it were a robot singing. The synthesizers and guitars work together so well to create the perfect mood. Here is my description of each song:

(1) Let me Love you - A perfect way to begin an album, positive lyrics, positive message, and very uplifting. One of the best songs on the album.

(2) Do You want me - A bit faster and more energetic than Let me Love you, but creates a similar mood.

(3) Give you all my Love - The first song with a more of a romantic mood, Da Buzz certainly did a wonderful job blending romance lyrics with dance music.

(4) Your Love will (Shine on me) - The First ballad on the album. It is not slow, more of a dance song, but the lyrics would fit a ballad well. Also a great song.

(5) Paradise - A more uplifting song that most of the others on the album. Its keyboard sounds are similar to "The Sign" by Ace of Base

(6) Tell Me Once Again - Also very positive and uplifting. Creates an atmosphere similar to "Give you all my love." This one is so amazing, has so many stacked vocals.

(7) Believe in Love (Remix) - This one is my favorite song on the album. It is the 2nd ballad that appears on the album. The version on the American Album is a lot better than that on the Euro version, though the Euro version is very good too. The American Version has so many more elements in it, including a more exiting intro.

(8) Love and Devotion - Lots of stacked vocal. Very energetic.

(9) I wanna be free - Wonderful Lyrics, but the synths could have been better.

(10) I'm Alright - Possibly the worse song on the album, but that doesn't make it bad. It is still a very good song. It's sound is not very catchy, and is not very fun at that, although it is a very energetic song.

(11) Out of Words - The final song and the last ballad on the album. Great guitar work on this track. The mood is just perfect on this song. This is a great ballad, not one of those ones with the message "I will die without you." It is more of one describing love for someone who is still with you.

(12) Let Me Love you (Hex Hector Radio Version) - A perfect closing to a great album. This has more elements than the original version, and is much more up-beat. Very suitable for the American Audience.

This is an excellent, high energy pop/dance album. This album has stood the test of time for me. I've had it for over two years -- and it is one of my treasured finds!
Stand out cuts are LET ME LOVE YOU TONIGHT -- a HUGE dance hit!,
DO YOU WANT ME, BELIEVE IN LOVE, I WANNA BE FREE, and YOUR LOVE WILL SHINE ON ME. Yes it is POP (very upbeat), BUT I have not tired of it yet and still consider this one of the best pop/dance albums I've heard. I highly recommend it! If you are a fan of LET ME LOVE YOU TONIGHT, you should love the rest of the tracks.
P.S. I've heard cuts from their second album -- and they are great too! I will be buying future albums by this group!

This has become one of my favorite dance CDs since the summer of 2001 when I bought it. I heard the single "Let Me Love You" on the radio, quickly looked up the lyrics online, found the group's name, and bought the CD.

Annika's beautiful voice soars with such gentle strength, and the dance melodies have an unexplainable moving, transcendent quality that are sure to uplift your mood. (e.g. "Do You Want Me", "Your Love Will (Shine on Me)", and "Believe in Love")

Their pop songs (e.g. "Out of Words", "Give You All My Love", and "Paradise") have a cool, energetic beat to them.

Overall, I really enjoy this CD, and I can't wait till their next CD comes out here in the U.S..

This is the debut album from Swedish trio Annika, Per and Pier. Mostly dance tunes with a few slower tracks added for balance. All twelve tracks are playable, a rare occurrence indeed. Best tracks, in my opinion - Do You Want Me, Tell Me Once Again, Paradise and I Wanna Be Free. I wouldn't label any as weak. The album is well balanced and Annika has a beautiful voice. Da Buzz writes their own stuff and the CD booklet has the lyrics included - great if you're a closet karaoke princess! or prince. If you like Britney, Steps - more recent stuff, or Sash you should give this a go.

1. Let Me Love You- A brilliant way to start the album. Their first single.
2. Do You Want Me- A great song, rumored second single for the U.S. (Already a single in Europe)
3. Give You All My Love- A wonderful song
4. Your Love WIll (Shine On Me)- Very high vocals by Annika
5. Paradise- A great song, reminds me of "The Sign" by Ace of Base, another single of theirs
6. Tell Me Once Again- THE BEST SONG, has great effects in the music, and a slight rock edge to it
7. Believe In Love (remix) - an okay song. Another single in Sweden
8. Love And Devotion- pretty good
9. I Wanna Be Free- Excellent
10. I'm Alright- Awful the worst song on the album
11. Out Of Words- A beautiful ballad, the only real slow song on the album
12. Let Me Love You (Hector Radio Remix)- a great remix of the already brilliant song.

AND... Their second CD is on the way, the first single off of it is called "Wanna Be With Me" and the album is called that as well! The second single is called "Wonder Where You Are"!

This album untouchable pop, the entire album is magic. This Japanese version is better than the original swedish version as the three extra tracks and remixes are fantastic. The track 'Wo Ai Ni' was made for the Japanese market and what a tune, the single versions of 'Do You Want Me', 'Let Me Love You Tonight' and 'Believe In Love' are also included. Buy this if you love great pop.

This album has a special place in my heart. It is very uplifting and has gotten me through some rough times. Don't expect it to be anything but what it is. A good time. Fun. Highly recommended for those that like the Europop/trance type sound.

great songs thru out the whole cd. if you liked ace base, you will love da buzz. great first cd.

I first heard one of Da Buzzes song in a bar and bought the CD the next day. It is one of the best CD's I bought in years. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the CD was the first time I listened to it. I cant get enough. I just thought it be one of those CD's you just like 1 or 2 songs, but like every one of them. Their music is fun, fresh and has a great beat to it. I would highly recommend this CD.

Fun, easy, and sort of melodic. If you have high standards in Pop, and like masters like Abba who wrote such perfect pop melodies, you may not like this though. It is too dancy and bubble gummy. After a few listens, all the songs sound the same and they do not last. If you like Ibiza type music or even Aqua, then give it a try.
