 brings back memories

| OK let's face it, Michael Learns to Rock is not going to win a grammy anytime soon. They are a Danish band singing radio/karaoke friendly soft rock ballads (in English), and were heavily marketed in Asia during the 90s. Although they write their own songs as far as I know, they can be repetitive and derivative. But to their credit, they have embraced this unique niche, and have even recorded remakes of Mandarin cantopop songs. Thanks for the memories lads. |

Nostalgic.

Frankly, I never liked MLTR way back in high school, when they were popular. My friends were buying their casette tapes (you can imagine the time) while I was laughing at how cheesy their songs were.
A decade hence, and now I just discovered how great this group actually is (despite the pitiful, unglorious renditions of their songs at your neighborhood karaoke bars). Maybe it's nostalgia, maybe it's the romantic lines and the sappy music, but either way, everytime I hear MLTR, I get reminded of those days when the love you feel is pure and emotions are real.
Good compilation. But it would be great if it had "Paint My Love" and "25 Minutes". |

Michael Learns To Rock is the biggest internationally successful soft-pop musical band to come out of Denmark. Their music is known for their pop songs with a blend of the Scandinavian musical euphony. The band is comprised of (as of now) - Jascha Richter (singer and keyboard player), Kåre Wanscher (drummer), and Mikkel Lentz (guitarist). (Bass guitarist Søren Madsen left MLTR in 2000 to enhance his solo career)
This collection is amazing to listen at a stretch, and I am writing about the songs I liked most in it -
Strange Foreign Beauty (10/10) - Great 'strange music' when the song begins. Similarly amazing voice of Jascha Ricter. Good, slow electric guitar piece music towards the end of the song.
Someday (10/10) - A fast paced song sung by a lover giving hope to his girl. Nice guitar interludes and chorus singing
Sleeping Child (10/10) - From their album - Colours, this is a passionate song about the sleeping child. Nice guitar piece music
Complicated Heart (9/10) - A sad-to-happy song, slow, soulful lyric. Nice acoustic guitar music
Something You Should Know (8/10) - A sad song with the MLTR touch - the song of a lover looking at his girl of the past
That's Why (You Go Way) (10/10) - One of my favorites - great piano music piece in the beginning, appropriate chorus in the ending of the song, a sad story of a love-lorn lover
The Actor (10/10) - A good typical teenage song - great chorus, acoustic guitar music
Wild Women (10/10) - A fast paced funny song - (quote)
"Send the wild women out the backdoor
My wife is knocking at the front door
They made me a winner they made me a sinner
I don't know what to do
Dirty money in the left hand
While the preacher's shaking my right hand
They made me a winner they made me a sinner
I don't know what to do"
Breaking My Heart (8/10) - A sad but good song with nice chorus singing
I'm Gonna Be Around (8/10) - Nice chorus and guitar interludes. Chorus dominates here!
I'm Gonna Come Back (9/10) - The song of a lover who is leaving for war, reassuring that he will return from the war and bring things back to normal
Romantic Balcony (9/10) - A romantic ballad type song with the lover's thoughts flashing back and forth between war scenes and their tranquil balcony. Nice guitar piece and chorus singing
Sleeping Child (Special Remix) (10/10) - A lullaby-type song, with more than just singing to the child. Smooth, nice chorus and guitar/Piano music combination.
If you enjoy melodious songs with beautiful lyrics and catchy tunes, then this collection could be for you. Give it a try !!! |

| This is an awesome album, featuring nothing but catchy songs! My personal favorite: "Wild Women"....with all the other tunes not far behind. In fact, 10 stars would be a much more adequate rating. |
