Go!
release date: May 28, 1997
format: cd
[album rate: 4 / 5] [3,92]
producer: Hilmer Hassig
label: Pladecompagniet - nationality: Denmark

Track highlights: 1. "Love goes on forever" (4 / 5) (live) - 2. "Copenhagen Dreaming" (4,5 / 5) - 3. "Fremmedlegionær" - 5. "Sendt fra himlen" - 7. "Vi blinker så hurtigt vi kan" - 8. "Glimmer show"

4th studio album by Love Shop continues where Billeder af verden ended but also introduce a harder rock-style. The band remains the same, and the credit list more or less count the same additional personnel.
Stylistically, this is perhaps their most glam rock inspired album with hints to Marc Bolan (especially "Fan Star", which perhaps is the only poor track on the album), Bowie, and contemporary glam rockers like Suede. The album may also be seen as a move from a mainly pop-founded territory to a more traditional rock playground.
Go! is no less than one of the band's best albums ever, and tracks #1, #2 and #5 have already become classic Danish pop / rock songs.
Highly recommended.
