[size=1]I recently discovered them, and I just love them. Nice techno-ish pop songs with catchy tunes. And they're form Sweden! Swedish people are cool.:cool:
I really like "The Sign" and 'Unspeakable". "Cruel Summer" is okay, but doesn't strike me as their best type. Not sure why, but they just stand out to me. I've heard I'm trying to get my hands on one of their CD's for my birthday.

Anyone else like them?[/size]

I think most people liked them several years ago when they had a few hits here. Then they kind of just became a running joke for people... like so many other bands that randomly become popular here and are ditched by all the people that like them just to feel cool and up on the trends.

They're surprisingly decent though. They're nothing I'd buy personally or spend a good deal of time listening to, but they do what they do pretty well. I find a lot of people actually have a surprising level of respect for them.

Heh. I had their first CD (this was when I was still buying tapes, though)when it came out. They used to be my favorite group back then. Haven't heard anything from them recently. I'm not in to that kind of music anymore, anyway.

[size=1] The Sign brings back memories of primary school lol, that's where it was thrashed non stop when it came out heh.

I havve a lot of respect for them, the melodies of songs such as The Sign are quite pleasing to the ear, I however wouldn't go rushing to buy a CD just for a few old memories.

Has any rock/metal band done a cover of The Sign yet? there's heaps of punk metal covers out of old songs so it made me wonder.[/size]

[color=#707875]I used to be an Ace of Base addict, when they were at their peak. But after their first couple of albums, they really went downhill.

Although, I can't say that I liked a [i]lot[/i] of their songs. I mean, they are basically little more than a simplistic dance group. But there's nothin' wrong with that! ^_^ It does take talent to make a seductive beat, afterall. ~_^

*thinks* My favourite song by them was "All That She Wants", I think. I can't remember the names of many others.[/color]
