Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 what a grower!!
Submitted on: 2009-11-09 |
|
| This album is such a grower... at first, i thought, well, i like half the songs or so, but the rest are too slow and acoustic. just shows how a cd often needs a handful of plays to get into your brain....so yeah, its a very mellow album, raw and unvarnished at times, great for a rainy day or as background music while youre doing something else. His previous album was very catchy but a bit too slick and polished, this is more substantive and heartfelt. its a much better album than aha's 'foot of the mountain'. |

| From the amazing lead singer of A-Ha comes his phenomenal second single. Great music! I listen to it daily. You won't be disappointed. |

This one's everything those of you lucky to be "in the know" expected and much more. These are thoughtfully written and beautifully produced songs that are powerful in their simplicity. They will soothe and delightfully haunt you to infinite levels. His substantial magical/musical abilities have evolved over time to become Norway's true gift to the vast world of music.
This is timeless, majestic and immensely satisfying work.

 A disappointed hard-core fan
Submitted on: 2008-11-20 |

I'm going to assume that other hard-core fans have this album, like me, along with everything else borne of the a-ha legacy. If you are new to Harket, please start somewhere else, or get his Nobel Prize Ceremony performance, because this is not very good. It's almost all mid-tempo balladry with very strange, sometimes trite, lyrics. "Heaven's not for Saints", "Forever Not Yours", "Los Angeles", ... none here, and none even close. I just want him to do an album he's capable of, not the one he's comfortable with. This is like Leonard Cohen meets Chris Rhea at a high school poetry reading. I am truly a Harket fan of epic proportions, and I can tell you, aside from Darkspace... and maybe Letter from Egypt, I won't be listening to this again.
