A-Ha - Minor Earth, Major Sky

 rated 2

Review Date: 06 June 2000

A highly improbable comeback for the Norwegian group best remembered for 80s disco hits such as Take On Me. Don't be too quick to sneer - they've replaced their synth-pop with real guitars and the results aren't at all bad. There are some strong, brooding melodies and Morten Harket's soulful voice sounds much better than it did in the 80s. Unfortunately some of the lyrics are wilfully dumb and ultimately the album as a whole has a rather contrived air about it.
