Here’s a nice review of a-ha’s latest album Foot Of The Mountain. What do you think of it?
Foot of the Mountain is a passable record attempting to recapture latent charm without jumping over — or into — the shark. This of course is when you look past its closing, leaving seven songs that could most definitely be no one else but a-ha. The amalgam of ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s here can be slipped into any play list with ease, providing the band with a very wide base of operations. Despite the feeling of generic sound that some will not be able to shake off here, a-ha puts out a mid-grade release for Europoppers and soft rock listeners galore. a-ha is most definitely the poor man’s Depeche Mode, but we refuse to make you feel guilty for listening, since this band seems to do its thing so well.
