Average Rating:
 Rating: - Scoundrel DaysTwenty two years on this is still the best record I have ever bought, I own it on LP Tape and CD and still never tire of it . My favourite of all A-ha's records although they've made some great ones since. A classic Rating: - SIMPLY SENSATIONAL!!This was 'A-Ha's' second album which told the pop world that they had already become a force to be reckoned with! I remember how sensational the opening track was to this upon first hearing, which had also happened to be the title track. This was to show their real potential as a great new attack on the pop charts, and I'd never followed a band so closely since the days of ABBA, and it felt more than a coincidence at the time that both bands were from Scandinavia. Not only were some powerful singles released from this album, but some of their most powerful album material too - certainly one of their best albums. 'Manhattan Skyline' turned out to be my favourite single release up to then that I played to ...

Scoundrel Days, their 1986 follow-up is a slightly less electronic affair, the downbeat lyrics and thrilling melodies still dominate but on some tracks the sound is less artificial more organic. Aside from the brilliant Cry Wolf, this album has some real classics,including the spellbinding "I've Been Losing You". By no means is this A-hA changing to a "rock" direction, unlike the music theyr released in 2005, the guitars are minimal,keyboards are prominent. Harkets rich voice is backed by quality songwriting from Pal and Magne. "Hunting High and Low" is their masterpiece, almost perfectly ... Read More: Rating: - The album where everything worksA-ha's first album was a classic, this second album is actually an improvement and a huge leap forward for the band. Take a listen and you will see what A-ha are really capable of, this is A-ha at their very best, most diverse and it all works together on a grander scale than 'Hunting high and low'. 'Scoundrel days' A low key piano and quiet vocals unleash into a monster chorus with mysterious lyrics - a mini epic. 'The swing of things' A great pop song, with heartfelt lyrics about missing a loved one and making choices in life. 'Iv'e been losing you' One of A-ha's best songs - fantastic lyrics, a rockier sound and killer chorus (See also - catchy middle bit and false ending!) 'October' Let this song wash over you, a simple ... Read More: |
