Hits - Roxette

Advantages: some great songs
Disadvantages: none I am aware of

...Look sharp! is Roxettes 2nd album.It is one of the Swedish duos good albums.It was released in 1988. The 12 songs are: The Look, Dressed For Success, Sleeping Single, Paint, Dance Away, Cry, Chances, Dangerous, Half A Woman, Half A Shadow, View From The Hill, Shadow of a Doubt, and Listen To Your Heart. Some of the duos best songs are on this album, which in my opinion should have been the first one.These are: The Look, Dressed for Success, Dangerous, and Listen To your Heart.These are included on the Greatest Hits Album. Most of the songs were recorded in the E.M.I Studios in Stokholm during the Autumn of 1987. This album is the one of Roxettes best efforts in song writing. I hope Marie and Per bring another one out soon.... Read review

Advantages: many big hits!
Disadvantages: i miss the ballads --> monotonism

Advantages: Some truely wonderful tracks
Disadvantages: One definite poor quality track

...standout tracks . As for the tracks , well for your dosh , you get a total of fourteen tracks , so no complaints here . They are as follows : 1) Crush On You A rebellious track to kick start things , with powerful vocal lead vocal by Per and superb chorus by Marie , all against a mean electro-rock backdrop. 7/10 2) Wish I Could Fly First of the ballads , and later to be included in Roxette - The Ballad Hits compilation album. This is the Roxette that many know and have grown to love , comprising of sympathetic lyrics against a upbeat yet romantic tune . 8/10 3) You Can't Put Your Arms Around What's Already Gone. Now that's what I call a song title. Per once again takes on lead vocals on what is quite a racy track . Typical Roxette power pop with trade mark hook line chorus. 8/10 4) Waiting In The Rain Neither pop nor ballad , a strange... Read review
