6th and final studio album by The Cardigans. They haven't officially disbanded but haven't released new material for more than eight years. The band has kept to the same producer, the same record label, and the same songwriters over all their years playing together, but again their style has changed. They have moved away from the apparent American bonds on Long Gone Before Daylight (2003) to just play pop / rock or alt. rock with some resemblance to the style of PJ Harvey. I like this better, and frankly think that it's their best release since First Band on the Moon (1996).
