    This record is somewhat similar to the last Cardigans album to me in a sense that it was a decent step forward from the past works of the group. now it's the same with Colonia - step ahead the debut. seems Nina just can't stop mature musically. really good album.

  1. A proper, fully formed record rather than a side-project doodle, Colonia is where artistic integrity meets pop conviction in a curious, deranged yet compelling sing-along.
  2. Too bad her sharpest one-liners on Colonia get buried in a wash of pastoral easy listening.
  3. Listening to the album as a whole, it's satisfyingly compact, a neatly produced record with stand-out tracks and growers.
