| Aqua - Aquarium Band: Aqua Not my style anymore, but still catchy and funny! Aqua used to be one of my favourite bands when I was younger. But for no reason, I just went off them. I don't listen to this album anymore, but I decided to review it for a laugh.<BR>This album is brilliant stuff. It's one of those happy albums that everyone laughs at. Aqua are one of those bands that you either Love or hate. Stand out tracks are: 3. Barbie Girl - Of course! The classic Aqua track, with the funny lyrics and catchy chorus. How could it not be a stand out track?<BR>4. Doctor Jones - Another definite stand out. It's funny with an addictive chorus.<BR>6. Heat Of The Night - A cool party track, with a great chorus and catchy verses.<BR>8. Lollipop (Candyman) - My personal favourite off this CD. It's just so damn cute! It has an awesome chorus and Adorable verses "I wish I was a bubblegum!" was my catchphrase for ages!<BR>9. Roses Are Red - This track's music always reminded me of a computer game. A computer game I used to have has music like in this song. This has cool vocals too with 'Roses are red' being said backwards. Overall, a cute, dancy happy little CD that a lot of kids probably still like. A good effort. Aqua - Better than you think Hi all, I bought this album over a year ago (back in 1998). I was hooked after listening to the album at a store and some encouragement from a DJ friend who found one of the songs ("Roses are Red") club-friendly. My opinion? A very solid album. I just like the songs. I find them upbeat and I've recently started listening to the album after not listening for a while. I rarely do this for old albums (even if I liked them before). Note, I'm a eurodance/dance, etc fan and also slow songs. Thus the faster songs (Roses are Red, Calling You, etc.) are good along with "Turn Back Time". I'm Glad Aqua can branch out and not be a "dance" act. My favorites songs are: Lollipop, Roses are Red, Calling You, Turn Back Time, Happy People, and My Oh My. The others are decent. One song I don't listen to much is: Barbie Girl. A lot of people liked it and it's ok, but it's not a favorite of mine. Check this album out! Also can't wait for the new album, hopefully coming soon! Fantastic A fantastically trashy collection of cartoonish Europop, often so cheerful and upbeat that it's almost depressing ('Happy Boys and Girls' for example). The haunting vocal interplay of squeaky Lene and gruff Rene is something that you don't forget in a hurry, and the artfully-mangled English (almost the first line on the album is 'I've got a feeling you could use a little smile') adds to the goofy charm. It's actually quite hard to not like them - they don't seem to have any pretentions to being 'art' (unlike, say, 'Ace of Base'). The stand-out tracks here are the singles 'Barbie Girl', 'My Oh My', 'Dr Jones', and 'Turn Back Time' (which sounds extraordinarily Madonna-esque), with 'Happy Boys and Girls' and 'Calling You' acting as solid reserves. Most of the other songs are fairly Anonymous - 'Heat of the Night' is fun, but you'll probably skip the rest. Given the band's inventive visual style, it would have been nice if the album had included the amusing videos, but you can't have everything.
