  1. Plenty of listeners will be put off by the unrelenting insistence on major-chord, primary-colour pop, painted with childlike simplicity... but there is an unbridled joyfulness about Let Me Introduce My Friends that could lift the heart of the weariest cynic.
  2. Lundgren has ample melodic gifts, and most cuts... are pretty damn charming.
  3. All too often, I'm From Barcelona are either forgettable or just beyond cloying.

    While all that harmony is good for revving your sugar motor, no conflict means no relief, just repeated shots of childlike cheer with no chaser. [Mar 2007, p.94]

    Solid music by a solid (if not huge) contingent of swedes. Too bad the sheer size of the 29 member band, only really resonates on 2 songs Solid music by a solid (if not huge) contingent of swedes. Too bad the sheer size of the 29 member band, only really resonates on 2 songs (We're From Barcelona & Treehouse). I mean The Besnard Lakes and Arcade Fire have less than 1/2 their members and still produce a larger sound, worth owning though. Full Review »
