Album Review
a-ha's recording career hit the skids in America with its third release. But in the U.K., the album became the group's third straight to peak at number two, though it charted for a shorter period than the first two albums, and there were four Top 25 hits — the title track, "The Blood That Moves the Body," "Touchy!," and "You Are the One." (Also included was a-ha's 1987 theme from the James Bond movie The Living Daylights, a U.K. number five that missed the U.S. charts.) Even in a country with a demonstrated affection for Scandinavians, however (remember ABBA?), that was a fall-off, if the decline was more gradual, and three albums in, a-ha wasn't demonstrating any development from its first hit, just more of the same and a little less distinctive.
Customer Reviews
Rubbish Itunes review
The Itunes review says nothing about the quality of the album! It's the first a-ha album I heard but I still think it's one of their best. After all, it's got some of their greatest songs on here, including: 'Stay On These Roads', which everyone loves, the jolly 'Touchy!', the fast-paced 'You Are The One' and the Bond theme 'The Living Daylights'. How can you make such a review on a collection of immaculate tunes? Brilliant effort from the Kings of Norway.
I'd also like to point out that this is their last purely synthpop album. Their follow-up 'East of the Sun, West of the Moon' was an appropriately-titled bridge, where they still had a few synths but moved to more guitarey sounds. From 'Memorial Beach' onwards, they had a more distorted, rough sound; heavy and somber. There was a new a-ha, and although their latest album is a compromise, they'll never be the same since their 80's heyday: a genre which they should have retained and which I'd prefer any day.
Well produced 80's synth pop.
Very much in the same vein as their previous album, "scoundrel days",this continues the a-ha process of shedding their boyband skin.
A very clever and well produced synth, pop album, with a couple of outstanding highlights,
"THIS ALONE IS LOVE" and "THE BLOOD THAT MOVES THE BODY".
One of the band's last good album's.
