I wish for a new Roxette album (from a "reborn" fan)

Hey all,
I first knew Roxette back in 1991 and became a HUGE fan almost instantly. In high school, I even get into trouble because I was such a big fan of Roxette (I don’t want to talk about it, it was so embarrassing when I think about it now) and I got a nickname ’Joyrider’ because of that incident.
Anyway, years went by, my taste in music changed, and after “Crash! Boom! Bang!” I no longer keep track of their career or buy their album. Recently, after a reunion with some friends from high school, I decided to browse the iTunes music store and bought the pop and ballad compilations. I also bought songs which are “rare” to me, for having left Roxette for so long. And hey, I found that songs like “One Wish”, “Reveal”, “A Thing About You” are REALLY REALLY GOOD. And suddenly I am a HUGE FAN all over again.
I also just found out about what happened to Marie, but I am glad that she is now doing well, with a new NO. 1 SINGLE in Sweden! Bravo Marie!
Oh how I wish Roxette would release all these “rare” songs and added a few more to make a “new album”. And I wish that Roxette maintain that rock pop style of “Look Sharp” and “Joyride”. Maybe it’s just me, but I prefer a “pop rock” Roxette than “pop dance” Roxette. I knew some of the rock bands make a comeback by reintroducing the sound that made them famous, the sound that defined them as a band
If I had one wish, it would be a new Roxette album. For all the fans here...keep on JOYRIDING :-)
