Roxette-Don't Bore Us Get To The Chorus

October 9th 2008 07:37
Roxette-don’t bore us get to the chorus

Record Label: EMI
Year: 1995
Track listing:
01. June afternoon
02. You don’t understand me

03. The look
04. Dressed for success
05. Listen to your heart
06. Dangerous
07. It must have been love
08. Joyride
09. Fading like a flower
10. The big l
11. Sending my time
12. How do you do
13. Almost unreal
14. Sleeping in my car
15. Crash boom bang
16. Vulnerable
17. She doesn’t live her anymore
18. I don’t want to get hurt


This package is definitely all of the best that the Swedish Duo, Roxette, gave us, with hit after hit crammed
onto this Greatest hits album. From the look to it must have been love to dangerous. Add to that two new tracks with she doesn’t live here anymore and I don’t want to get hurt, and you have a killer of a collection.

Per Gessle's writing talents and Marie Fredriksson’s superb vocals were what made the famous a big hit on the 90’s, and it seemed like they could do nothing wrong. They not only had a hit in their own country, but all over the world people were clamoring to hear the new band out of Sweden.
Their song, 'It Must Have Been Love', featured in Pretty Woman, and another 'Almost Unreal' found itself on the Super Mario Bros soundtrack.
The two of them as a duo worked well together, although Per did seem to eventually try and sing more. He had an okay voice, but the voice of the band was indeed Marie Fredricksson.

Even listening to the songs now, there isn’t one of them I hate or could even pretend to loathe. They’re cleverly written, and have a great beat, that has stood the age of time.
Who can forget the great beats of 'Dressed For Success', Joyride, 'Dangerous', or 'June Afternoon'. Nor could we forget about the poignancy of some of their more heartfelt tracks such as it must have been love, and spending my time. They’re all gems in their own right.

If you want to hear a band that can actually sing, with intelligently written lyrics, and don’t reek of a bubblegum era, then Roxette possibly are the band for you.

After all these years, their music is still as potent as ever. I give it 4/5
