    The tilting scales of light and dark give the collection a definite creep factor and a clever complexity.

    This stunning Dane's synths-plus-strings slant on singer-songwriter lovesickness offers refinement over innovation, yet Nanna Øland Fabricius beguiles with a gently insistent presence.

    It's just that there's a bit of an identity void at the heart of the thing, a lack of personality.

    This is an almost flawless album. The score starts out with an aptly titled track "Perfection", and the then it sets out to accomplish just that. There are so many highlights on this album that a track by track critique is pointless. The absolute most incredible song from this album is "Wolf And I" - Simply a masterpiece. Oh Land may be the next best artist out there. This album goes against what is commercial pop, but some how it sounds like the a mega pop hit for an alternate universe. It sounds like a game changer, even if it falls on deaf ears. The only misfortune on the album is "Vodoo" which sounds to familiar to LaRouX, but with the album ending on such a high point with the swooning 'Rainbow' you feel as if you've had a five course meal including desert and then cigar.… Expand
