1.0 out of 5 stars Where's the Heart, July 22, 2007

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

This album was a colossal let down for me. First let me say I am a big Sahara Hotnights Fan I love every single song on all 3 of their previous releases. This album however is so bland and unoriginal, They used to have a good mix of rock and pop and a sound all their own. But on this album it sounds like an overly poppy set of B-sides some of them are catchy but none of them are very distinguishable from songs that came out 10 years ago. I am still a big fan of their old stuff and I will still buy their next album, every band tries a new sound out eventually but this new sound is lacking heart and, for lack of a better word balls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Swedish Group, June 13, 2007

By	Lovblad (Geneva, Switzerland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Sahara Hotnights are back with a must better album than previously and confirm all expectations. While they have chosen a much more polished approach than compared to their previous efforts, they have lost none of their rocking punh. Indeed the album is much better produced than even the last album. First song Visit to Vienna is simply splendid. This is a typical pop-rock song with distinct 60's feel as well as a rumbling bass. The girl choruses are great. then the single cheek to cheek is really neat as well. While the album has lost some of the punky touch that made them great, it is certainly not less great than previously. It sounds like the work of a more professional group overall but which is still inspired. Their playing has really improved and they rea one of the best rock bands at the moment. Compered to previous efforts it has a slightly more pronounced feminine touch which is not bad at all despite the fact that the SH are one of the few female bands that does not fall prey to the cliches of the genre. I had to order mine directly from Bengan's in Gotheburg since the imports on Amazon. com or . co.uk were really expensive. Anyway it came very fast from that source as usual (plus it is from Sweden itself!) Also, the girls lok really great on the cover, so who can want anything more?

There's not much to say about this album. I'm pleased with it and it's good. I find it sounds more commercial than their other releases. The production is really good, The songs all have good lyrics and are groovy & danceable. Anderssons vocals have improved tremendously over the course of the girl's career, She sounds alot like Chrissy Hynde of The Pretenders. When listening to "What If Leaving Is A Loving Thing (Album)" I feel like im listening to an album from the early 80's (1981-1984 to be exact). I'm glad they put this album together. I'm satisfied.
