I’ve downloaded just a few songs:
t-t-t-take it
Elvis in Germany
B-Any-1-U-Wanna-B
Do You Wanna Be My Baby
And I have to say it’s no wonder that this album flopped, it must be 13 ’Jeffersons’ all in a row. I can’t stand Per’s voice without Marie coming into save him. I won’t stop being a Rox fan just coz I hate Per’s solo stuff but I don’t think I’ll bother going after any solo stuff anymore!
GEBO said on June 17, 2002 10:34:
I can’t agree, too!
If you hate Per’s solo work, don’t listen to it then!!
gesslefan_no1 said on June 17, 2002 10:38:
@GEBO: Yes, that´s SO right !!!
I love TWATG, I consider it to be at least as great as Roxette, maybe even better ...
GEBO said on June 17, 2002 10:45:
Yes, I love this album soo much, too! :)
And the songs wish you the best & kix ... waaaw !! Small-Talker, when I listened to it for a very first time I didn’t liked it , but after a few days I listened again... and it became my favourite album next to Crash!Boom!Bang! very soon. I suppose you to listen to the whole album for a few times before shouting your opinion ... !

i havent heard much of it... but i think it’s BRILLIANT!!!
GO GESSLE GO!!!
steven said on June 17, 2002 12:04:
Small-taker: In fairness you haven’t really listened to the best tracks on the album going by your choice of tracks above... Try some of these and then see how you feel: Kix, I’ll Be Alright, Wish You The Best, I Want You To Know.
frab said on June 17, 2002 13:02:
TWATG = Gessle on its best
the perfect sound for the summertime: crazy and distorted
IT´S ALL ABOUT KIXXXX
gesslefan_no1 said on June 17, 2002 13:32:
yea, once again GEBO is right. It takes some time to get to like TWATG. But it´s sooooooooo worth it. Reporter, Wish you the best, Elvis in Germany and I´ll be alright are so very great !!!
pietROxette said on June 17, 2002 13:44:
Reporter is definitely the best track on that album. In my opinion. Or Do You Wanna Be My Baby.
Eh, Reporter is better.
Denstandigaresan said on June 17, 2002 13:49:
LOVE this album!
Per himself was shocked when I pulled it out to be signed when I met him! He was like, “Oh, it’s me”?!
I wouldn’t mind if it was 13 ’Jeffersons’ in a row! I LOVE it! :)
’Lay Down Your Arms’ is sweet. But my favourite is ’Kix’... BLASTING tune! :)
Sanna said on June 17, 2002 15:16:
I’ll be allright is the best! One reason for that might be that Marie sings the backing vocals and it sounds really great :)
But really, when I first heard TWATG I thought same as you about it, but you have to ’get inside’ to that music, then you’ll love it. It might take some time, but be patient.
wendy said on June 17, 2002 15:43:
PG rocks!!!!! i like his solo project more than Marie’s one.
i’m from Belgium,so,TWATG is the one and only solo-CD i have from Per and i think it’s pretty good
btw a friend of mine has some of Marie’s solo’s and i don’t like this at all
colinvdbel (moderator) said on June 17, 2002 17:52:
Per Gessle is the best....TWATG is better than some Roxette stuff. He writes almost everything for Roxette...NEVER say anything bad about him.He IS the king of pop.
Jackeill said on June 17, 2002 17:59:
@Small-talker: i regret posting you the tracklist !!! how can you preach such heresy ??? TWATG is the best album i’ve ever heard, each song is DIFFERENT and they’re simply the best! it was a commercial flop just because of people like you!!! TWATG it’s a music for choosen people.
StillFar said on June 17, 2002 18:03:
Sometimes I wonder if you guys realize how ridiculous you sound…
cskendras said on June 17, 2002 22:27:
great album!
i’ll be alright” is one of the best song of his solo-work....GO GESSLE GO!
HummingBird said on June 17, 2002 22:35:
I love this album, really. I hadn’t listened to it for some time but then I put it in the cd player yesterday...to wake up to the sound of it. And WHAT a sound!!! Gessle rocks! And by the way, am I the only one who thinks the new ramones covers fit perfectly with the TWATG songs?
sweet_stalker57 said on June 17, 2002 23:25:
I didn’t like Per UNTIL I heard it.
it is in the car right now!
emilio said on June 18, 2002 02:25:
all i have to say is simple, if you like roxette, you can’t say that TWATG is a crap, couse gessle is the almost the 51% of roxette, in my opinion TWATG is the best that gessle made and the best record i have got. Just my opinion. so look up the numbers... if anybody ask here... the 99.9% of roxette fans ’d love TWATG. Let’s waitn to the episode II of TWATG
Vixzter said on June 18, 2002 05:46:
I’d rather another kicking Rox album before another Gessle album ;) but TWATG tis kewl, there are some inspired lyrix on it.
rox-kuryliw said on June 18, 2002 10:36:
its not roxette without marie simple as that for me. without marie they is no roxette, without per you still have marie.
matts said on June 18, 2002 11:56:
@Yashar: yes I am ok, I think only the GT albums are as good as TWATG, but I have to admit, that I am Per fan and not especially Roxette, only Roxette because it’s Per. But if you like guitars then you would love TWATG
Jackeill said on June 18, 2002 14:52:
HAND? since i’ve bought TWATG i forgot about roxette :) really :) i don’t want another rox album, i’m only waiting for TWATG2. PER I’M TALKING TO YOU ! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME ? :)
gyllene_tjej said on June 18, 2002 16:47:
TWATG simply rocks, rocks, rocks!! I love Gessle in it, his voice, the guitars, the power!!!! I don’t think there is anyone else ( except you) who think this album sucks! I’LL BE ALRIGHT takes me to heaven. And hey listen carefully, marie’s there!! :o)
Galning said on June 18, 2002 16:59:
I LOVE TWATG!!!!!!! It´s the best thing Per Gessle ever did!!!!!!!! As many other Rox-Fans said: TWATG could have been the absolutely best Roxette album if it would be not a PG-soloalbum! It´s so sad that Roxette doesn´t play some of those songs..... between 1994 and 1997 Per Gessle had the best time in his whole life as a musican!
StillFar said on June 18, 2002 17:01:
@gyllene_tjej: Maybe I wouldn’t go as far as to say the album sucks, but except for 3 or 4 songs, I find it pretty boring...so small talker isn’t the only one here :((((
gyllene_tjej said on June 18, 2002 17:13:
Stillfar: ok, your right to think this way. now there are 2 of you, anyone else? :) Which are these 3-4 songs that save the album from sucking in your opinion? I can’t say I like every song either, but I love MOST and that’s why the whole album rocks :)
StillFar said on June 18, 2002 17:23:
I really like I’ll be alright, Stupid is pretty good, Wish you the best is and I want you to know are nice, too.
Honestly, I don’t like Per’s voice filling a complete album, he just lacks of vocal abilities! Sorry to say that!
little-miss-sorrow said on June 18, 2002 18:18:
some say this, some say that... i personally LOVE twatg but hej, if you don’t like it it’s okej. just don’t listen to it. ;o)
Vixzter said on June 18, 2002 20:49:
Mmmmm ok so Gessle’s voice isn’t the best....but some of the lyrix and music on that album are inspired, that makes up for lack of vocal abilities in my opinion it kept me going through the long dark Roxetteless months.....but hey... if i was seen to agree with with anything StillFar said then the world would end ;P
” she wants the management to tell her where, she can interview marie and per” ;) - Reporter, the guy has a sense of humour :P that whole song is filled with good stuff ;)
“wish you the best” is the best Per ballad I’ve ever heard......and I’m not a great lover of Per sung ballads.
coyboyusa said on June 20, 2002 21:24:
i still think some of the best tracks written for that album were left off with no good reason always brreaking my heart would hit that album to platinum status
Ferdan said on June 21, 2002 11:45:
kurilyw.... and without marie we still have the greatest band on sweden..... Gyllene Tider.... :)
GEBO said on June 21, 2002 13:15:
... but without Marie we don’t have the greatest band on the world ... ROXETTE :)
I don’t like that much the Per’s swedish albums and GT but I love TWATG...
Ronney said on June 23, 2002 17:38:
haahahahahaaa, I am laughing more than my ass of on this topic!! Poor small-talker!!
Really nobody agrees with him, me neither.
I think that TWATG is one of the best things that happened to me. It is soooo lovely great! It is pop how pop should be, with some extra guitars and bubblegum added for fun!!! yumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyum
yumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyum
yumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyum
yumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyum
yumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyumyum
yumyumyum... sorry, I got caught away...
(no copy-pasting at all, just really love TWATG a f*cking lot!!)
Anyway, the words of Small-talker could explain why the album didn’t work at all:
not all Rox-fans liked it that much... 2 bad..
Hotblooded said on June 25, 2002 13:26:
I love this album, it’s one of the best ever!!!!!!
When I first got it I was jumping up and down cause it was so good, ’I’ll be alright’ is classic!
But you can’t please everyone!
Small-talker said on June 25, 2002 13:38:
the album’s alright... but it has a lot of low-points...
t-t-t-take, B-Any-1-U-Wanna-Be, Do U wanna be my baby & Elvis In Germany are very weak in every sense
Just the names of the songs make me wanna go asleep...
B-Any-1-U-Wanna-B
Do U Wanna Be My Baby...
No affence to Per but I myself have written songs with better titles... we all know how great his work can be but this album really doesn’t show in (in many cases). Certain parts are good but the album is no C!B!B!
matts said on June 25, 2002 14:15:
@Small-talker: Why do I get the impression that you always write exactely the opposite of what other ppl think/write
and just because you know “better” song names you aren’t a good/better song writer
pietROxette said on June 25, 2002 14:27:
Ronney, please edit your message, it ruins the site.
Pls insert a row break in your yummyumm whatever so one line without spaces or breaks is not longer than the size of the screen. Thx.
gesslefan_no1 said on June 26, 2002 14:21:
@Smalltalker: It´s not the title of a song that makes it sound good or bad. Listen to the music, don´t care about the title if you don´t like it.
matts said on June 26, 2002 14:25:
@ gesslefan_no1: I totally agree with you... but some ppl are always different ;-)

eduard33 said on June 26, 2002 23:26:
Small-talker!!! How the hell can you put such a stupid expression and TWATG in one sentence?!?!?! You’re certainly deaf! I’m sure! TWATG is NOT jazz nor esoteric music and nor even a hooting sound! Maybe you’ve tried to play your TWATG CD on a tape deck or a gramophone. So put it into your CD player, press PLAY and I’m pretty sure you’ll hear the RIGHT music intead of creaking a gramophone needle about the CD surface.
Forget about Roxette! TWATG is a gift from GOD! Appreciate it!
Scoll said on June 17, 2002 10:26:
No sorry can’t agree with that.
