US Amazon.com Review of The Hits

6 replies

Finally Amazon has a Hits CD that has the correct US release date of 1/16/2007 with the following positive review.

Amazon.com
Imagine a poppier Pat Benatar fronting a more dance-oriented Berlin—big vocals, big beats, big guitars–and you’re just about there. Like fellow Swedes ABBA in the 1970s and A-Ha in the 1980s, platinum pixie Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle generate a bright, glossy sound that transcends borders. In 20 years, they’ve sold 45 million albums and 25 million singles, including four number ones. A Collection of Roxette Hits overlooks their 1986 debut Pearls of Passion and 1997’s Baladas en Español in favor of their biggest international triumphs. All told: 12 album cuts, four singles, two remixes (“Dressed for Success” and “It Must Have Been Love”), and two new tracks (“One Wish” and “Reveal”). There are no real surprises, but Roxette has a few tricks up their shiny sleeves, like the harmonica solo in “Dangerous” (1988’s Look Sharp!) and the children’s chorus on “Stars” (1999’s Have a Nice Day). This hook-filled collection is a fine overview for both old and new fans alike. –Kathleen C. Fennessy

Btw, Roxette is currently at #7 in new and future releases on Amazon.com’s Music > Pop > Euro Pop list.

A-ha is from Norway... I wish they’d get that stuff right... o_O

Good review. Hopefully people take note of it and buy the CD. Plenty of them :-)

great review very truthful .

Except that the “remixes” aren’t remixes - in the US! :)

“All told: 12 album cuts, four singles, two remixes”

12 album cuts? LOL. Every track is a single. Four U.S. number ones, not four singles. Some people should not be writing reviews without fact-checking first.
