[Anonymous]Jun 4, 2005Impressive third album, not as electrifying as Chain Gang of Love but irresistably infectious. Worth a listen, or ten.

ChrisCMay 6, 2005I think I like the idea of making a retro-pop album that sounds like 50's pop more than I like the actual album. Love in a Trashcan and Pretty In Black are good tracks, but mostly the album seems like they focused so much on imitating a style that the vocal performances became too understated and dispassionate.

PeckMay 4, 2005Although the album doesn't rock out as much as Chain Gang Of Love, the quality of the ballads more than makes up for the lack of loud songs. Ode To L.A. for song of the year.

DavisWMay 9, 2005A mostly solid album although I'm not exactly sure how they've evolved into this. They definitely are a unique band in how they've progressed. With their sound, you'd think their debut would sound something like "pretty in black" and then evolve slowly into the "whip it on" sound. Even though they're a little backwards in my opinion, I can't deny their fun style.

BriabRDec 29, 2005Great album. The danes have not yet discovered the quality of the Raveonttes, maybe thats why so few good bands comes from Denmark.

The restrictions have vanished, the sound has opened up, and the tempos have slowed down considerably.

A major disappointment to say the least, Pretty in Black is such an indifferent and transparent record that it makes one reconsider the quality of the album that preceded it.
