5th studio album by The Cardigans. It took the band 5 years to put this album together and rumours had it that the band was history and no new material would be released. Vocalist Nina Persson was involved in her side-project A Camp and the bassist Magnus Sveningsson in his own project Righteous Boy, however, the band continues in the style from the predecessor, Gran Turismo with a slower more traditional pop / rock but also a new folk rock or country rock style that seem bound to an American musical tradition. In my opinion, this is their least interesting effort.
