I have to admit that the first time my friend wanted me to listen to this CD, I was less than skeptical. The last impression I had of Roxette was from their "It Must Have Been Love" fame from Pretty Woman. Since then I thought for sure the band broke up because not a lot of bands made it out of the 80s. But I decided to give this a listen, and I was totally blown away. Almost every single song on this album is amazing, especially the power ballads as most reviews have already stated. The lyrics are very emotional and well written and can be applied to SO many situations I'm sure we all have experienced. I mainly listen to other kinds of music, but to be completely honest, this is one of the best albums I own. Please do yourself a favor and give it a shot. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed!
