release date: Sep. 17, 1996
format: cd
[album rate: 4 / 5] [3,92]
producer: Tore Johansson
label: Stockholm Records . nationality: Sweden

Track highlights: 1. "Your New Cuckoo" - 2. "Been It" (4 / 5) - 5. "Never Recover" - 6. "Step On Me" - 7. "Lovefool" (4,5 / 5) (live on 'late night') - 8. "Losers" - 11. "Choke"

3rd studio album by The Cardigans. With strong catchy songs like "Been It", "Never Recover", and "Lovefool", this is just as great as the debut, although the jazz pop style has almost vanished. To me this is their last great album. Just like the debut album, this contains a Black Sabbath cover song, "Iron Man".
