TheRain1981 said on March 31, 2004 05:43:
2 words? Well, I’m gonna break the rules.
01 Real Sugar - Catchy pop
02 The Centre Of The Heart - Electronic pop (I really like this but always thought it could have sounded better with a bit more bass)
03 Milk And Toast And Honey - Stunningly beautiful
04 Jefferson - Pop rock
05 Little Girl - Nice ballad
06 Looking For Jane - Overlooked gem
07 Bringing Me Down To My Knees - Okay
08 Make My Head Go Pop - Cheesy pop (not too sure of Per’s voice here though)
09 Try (Just A Little Bit Harder) - A bit boring
10 Fool - Catchy pop (could have been much better with better production, a richer bassline)
11 It Takes You No Time To Get Here - Like it
12 My World, My Love, My Life - Beautiful lyrics (production is lacking a tad)
13 Entering Your Heart - Mysterious sound
Overall, good album. I think that my problem with the album is that some of the songs sound unfinished.
pietROxette said on March 31, 2004 09:12:
1. Real Sugar - Great song to start the album with. (Best when played live!)
2. The Centre Of The Heart - Radio friendly, catchy tunes. (Although Per looks stupid in the video holding a guitar since the song does not have any parts for that instrument.)
3. Milk And Toast And Honey - A beautiful late-summer / autumn song.
4. Jefferson - Great one.
5. Little Girl - Again, best when played live.
6. Looking For Jane - One of the peak-points of the album.
7. Bringing Me Down To My Knees - Boring.
8. Make My Head Go Pop - Would be the best song of the album without that horrible tempo killer in the midde.
9. Try (Just A Little Bit Harder) - If they tried just a little bit harder, it would’ve been a better song.
10. Fool - Good one, however, could’ve been mproduced a bit better.
11. It Takes You No Time To Get Here - Per is great in ballads as well.
12. My World, My Love, My Life - A re-make of Crazy Abour You.
13. Entering Your Heart - Superb! Excellent one.
pietROxette said on March 31, 2004 09:13:
And yeah, I completely agree with Jason, some of the songs do sound pretty unfinished. My impression is that this album was made in a rush, while the songs on HAND (whether you like them or not) are WAY bettwr produced.

“My impression is that this album was made in a rush, while the songs on HAND (whether you like them or not) are WAY bettwr produced.”
Definitely. The production of HAND is really rich and stunning.
I think that the ’Ballad Hits EP’ tracks are very well done as well. I think that “Every Day” should have taken the place of “Try” on ’Room Service.’ That track alone could have given the album a boost for me. In fact, I would have replaced “Bringing Me Down To My Knees” with “It Hurts” as well and thrown “Entering Your Heart” on there as well.
I’ve always thought too that “My World, My Love, My Life” would sound beautiful with a more simple production. Maybe some day they will perform this in a stripped down acoustic version. (My wish).

I totally agree with you, TheRain1981, when you said: ....”Every Day” should have taken the place of “Try” and “Bringing Me Down To My Knees” with “It Hurts” as well and thrown “Entering Your Heart” on there as well”.... (I would have also included “Bla bla bla”)
I think a lot of people think same way... but Per&Marie

@theRain: I’ve always thought too that “My World, My Love, My Life” would sound beautiful with a more simple production. Maybe some day they will perform this in a stripped down acoustic version. (My wish).
Don’t agree: It is perfect as it is right now, could not become any better.
It is the ultimate ballad!
