However i still miss distinctive Berggren sisters voice that makes AoB unique.<br /><br />Conclusion<br />- A worth listening album if you like Lady Gaga or modern Eurodance, <br />- for me, it's not the best album from AoB. I still prefer Da Capo (with regards of 2000-2010 releases, and of course being a little bit biased due to the presence of Berggren sisters) <br />- Southern California, Juliet & Who Am I is so out of place, the bad tracks in this album<br />- Visions in Blue is my pick. I'm hoping to see extended version or more remix of this track since it got potential.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-185309316604100134.post-16794838924072171712010-11-16T21:12:45.818+00:002010-11-16T21:12:45.818+00:00Thanks for your comments!

The band should definitely be renamed and try to achieve success on their own.Tanausú Vilcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042529524253602442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-185309316604100134.post-18114474538475882052010-11-16T18:51:58.436+00:002010-11-16T18:51:58.436+00:00Well, I think that for many AOB fans it's diff...Well, I think that for many AOB fans it's difficult to hear other voices in the songs. This new album has many things to talk about, the new girls are really pretty, their voices in the album don't sound very likeable for me. I watched a you tube video where they sing live an acoustic vresion of Blah Blah Blah On the radio and they sound incredibly better, so at this point I don't what really happened in the record of the album. "Told my ma", "One day", "Precious" are really beautiful songs, even I could swear that I listen something very similar to Jenny's voice in the chorus of "Told my ma" (it's just another symptom of not accepting at all the fact that the beautiful Berggrens are no longer in the band) Anyway, I really believe that this new albums sounds like AOB and that the new girls deserve a chance to show their talent but I really do think that the band must be renamed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-185309316604100134.post-43638717737823958852010-10-17T11:47:28.985+01:002010-10-17T11:47:28.985+01:00Thank you for your comment, Marco.

It´s perfectly ok if you don't agree, you don't have to. As I previously said, the album does have some good tracks but as a whole I don't dig it as much. I'm glad that the group is attracting a new generation of fans, I'm just not into this new era as I was with the previous one with the Berggren sisters.Tanausú Vilcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042529524253602442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-185309316604100134.post-37182250351492543662010-09-29T16:31:39.196+01:002010-09-29T16:31:39.196+01:00I don´t agree with you at all.

They don't sound like Ace of Base, except for a couple of songs so I think it would have been a better approach to start from scratch with a different name rather than keeping it and face comparisons.Tanausú Vilcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042529524253602442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-185309316604100134.post-47998211485280305062010-09-23T12:29:11.533+01:002010-09-23T12:29:11.533+01:00I do quite like vision of blue.

I agree that the old band is dead and gone though, I think these might have done better on their own by going under a different name rather than jumping on a band name that worked in the 90's?Dempsey Sandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03842133437455945602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-185309316604100134.post-11764102143694045382010-09-22T14:06:14.489+01:002010-09-22T14:06:14.489+01:00Thank you for your comment.

"Juliet" is actually a pretty nice ballad, but to me it felt like it doesn't belong to the mood of the album "The Golden Ratio" or even Ace of Base.Tanausú Vilcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042529524253602442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-185309316604100134.post-9575586115652850072010-09-22T12:11:35.833+01:002010-09-22T12:11:35.833+01:00Juliet sounds like a smashJuliet sounds like a smashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
