    álbum com estruturas para ser um sucesso, que infelizmente não foi.
    Oh Land conseguiu fazer uma das melhores músicas que escutei na minha vida "Perfection".
    Assim como a música, ela conseguiu unir sua doce voz com batidas contagiantes e envolventes, não tem como não se apaixonar com esse álbum.

    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.

Oh Land may be the next best artist out there. This albumThis is an almost flawless album.

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

    Oh Land, however, inhabits a tepid middle ground between the two extremes – offering neither gilded Scandi chart-pop (Robyn, Annie) or the artistic mettle of Scandi indie bands, most of whom are able to turn out sublime pop anyway.

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

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