Understanding. After all, Melody A.M. was that
rare electronic album that appealed to fans

If anything, The Understanding sounds like
Royksopp have spent much of the time since their
last album soaking in the continental sounds of
bands like Air. The result is a dance album thats
surprisingly heavy on vocals, most of them by the
duo themselves. But, in time-honoured dance
tradition, there are also a bevy of female
vocalists on hand, including Karin Dreijer from
The Knife ("What Else Is There?") and new
collaborator Kate Havnevik (single "Only This
Moment" and "Circuit Breaker"). The Understanding
is a much more grown-up album from Royksopp--its
not dance music for the kids, but an album for
after the kids have gone to bed. --Ted Kord

Additional notes

Album Notes: THE UNDERSTANDING, the long-awaited follow-up to Royksopp's acclaimed MELODY A.M., finds the Norwegian electronica duo refining their atmospheric sound. On many tracks here, Torbjorn Brundtland and Svein Berge focus on more accessible pop-song structures. "Only This Moment" is a surging, Pet Shop Boys-like dance number, and "49 Percent" ventures into contemporary-R&B territory, while "Follow My Ruin" is an '80s-inspired tune, replete with funky bass and synth-drum rolls.
Although the guest vocalists on THE UNDERSTANDING don't quite complement Royksopp the way Erlend Oye and Anneli Drecker did on MELODY A.M., there's still plenty to please fans of the breezy earlier album, particularly the pulsing "Beautiful Day Without You" and the gently shuffling "Someone Like Me." A departure, but not a complete about-face, THE UNDERSTANDING reveals new aspects of Royksopp, without abandoning the dreamy, keyboard-heavy aesthetic associated with the group.

Album Reviews: Spin (pp.98-99) - "THE UNDERSTANDING finds Royksopp intentionally aiming for the super-clubs....Their harder sound is still offset by softer edges." - Grade: B+
Magnet (p.110) - "The duo traipses through all kinds of post-Kraftwerk, European electronic sounds, doing Erasure better than Erasure..."

Review of Understanding, The - Royksopp by  mark_allen71

Advantages: Nordic but nice!
Disadvantages: Nob-twiddling twee-ness

...established a love of Royksopp is a 'good thing' to have?Melody AM established the band as a good thing. Before The Understanding came out I remember a reviewer said this album had so much riding on it that it ought to be gobbling coke-spiked sugar lumps prior to the 3.30 at Newmarket - (Or words to that effect!) I think this isn't too wide of the mark. Dance acts are notorious for difficult second albums. Look at fellow laid-back popsters Air for example. I reviewed their amazing Moon Safari on this website, but they didn't hit form again until Talkie Walkie, several albums later. The Understanding, like Melody AM and Moon Safarii, starts with the most haunting dittie on the album, Triumphant, with a gentle piano, simple chord progressions and more than a glancing nod to Beethoven's Moonnlight Sonata (also one of my faves!)

Worthy follow-up
Review of Understanding, The - Royksopp by  wusheng

Advantages: Relaxing
Disadvantages: Some tracks contains unneeded lo - fi sound

...Royksopp became very well known in whole world after their debut album 'Melody A.M'. This follow-up would fit any music lovers' collection too, I think. This album also contains one of the best downtempo tracks ever - 'What Else Is There'. Stunning vocals sung by Karin Dreijer of 'Tjhe Knife' blows your mind right away. Other tracks features Kate Havnevik ('Only This Moment') and Chelonis R Jones ('49 Percent'). This release differs a bit from their debut album - these tracks are quite more dancy, and less-trip-hop more-chillout and downtempo oriented, but you can still recall the same Norwegian style of producing and singing. In my opinion, this is a worthy follow-up and I would recomment it to any fan of the first album and downtempo/chillout in general!... Read review
