HMV Review

For listeners who had caught up with the Cardigans on their breakout album, Life, the group's third album was a confusing pastiche which included several conventional pop songs, but also added tracks with left-field arrangements and some (comparatively) disturbing lyrics. In reality, however, the group had simply returned to the mood and feel of their debut album. On Emmerdale, the melancholy was personal and solitary in nature, but here depression is focused on unfaithful lovers -- in both the songs which vocalist Nina Persson helped out with lyrics and those written by the rest of the band (Choke, Step on Me, The Great Divide). Even the single, Lovefool, is a depressing lament of unrequited affection, and the presence of another Black Sabbath cover (Iron Man) certainly isn't an immediate upper. Still, First Band on the Moon is saved by the Cardigans' core strengths: Persson's vocals and Svensson's arrangements. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide

    @曲目のイントロからしてヤラれる心弾み夢見心地のウキウキポップ。爽やかな春風の中でキラキラまばゆい陽射しを浴びたような、そんな感じ。とっても愛らしい一枚です。追伸、まさかブラックサバスのアイアンマンがこんなになるとは!

    やたら流行った印象があるけど、カーディガンズはポップに必要なユーモアといいメロディーしっかり持っている。特にこのアルバムは盛り沢山。確実に今までで1番聴いたアルバム。文句なし。
