"Michael Learns To Rock is the biggest internationally successful soft-pop musical band to come out of Denmark. Their music is known for their pop songs with a blend of the Scandinavian musical euphony. The band is comprised of (as of now) - Jascha Richter (singer and keyboard player), Kåre Wanscher (drummer), and Mikkel Lentz (guitarist). (Bass guitarist Søren Madsen left MLTR in 2000 to enhance his solo career)



This collection is amazing to listen at a stretch, and I am writing about the songs I liked most in it -



Strange Foreign Beauty (10/10) - Great 'strange music' when the song begins. Similarly amazing voice of Jascha Ricter. Good, slow electric guitar piece music towards the end of the song.



Someday (10/10) - A fast paced song sung by a lover giving hope to his girl. Nice guitar interludes and chorus singing



Sleeping Child (10/10) - From their album - Colours, this is a passionate song about the sleeping child. Nice guitar piece music



Complicated Heart (9/10) - A sad-to-happy song, slow, soulful lyric. Nice acoustic guitar music



Something You Should Know (8/10) - A sad song with the MLTR touch - the song of a lover looking at his girl of the past



That's Why (You Go Way) (10/10) - One of my favorites - great piano music piece in the beginning, appropriate chorus in the ending of the song, a sad story of a love-lorn lover



The Actor (10/10) - A good typical teenage song - great chorus, acoustic guitar music



Wild Women (10/10) - A fast paced funny song - (quote)

"Send the wild women out the backdoor

My wife is knocking at the front door

They made me a winner they made me a sinner

I don't know what to do

Dirty money in the left hand

While the preacher's shaking my right hand

They made me a winner they made me a sinner

I don't know what to do"



Breaking My Heart (8/10) - A sad but good song with nice chorus singing



I'm Gonna Be Around (8/10) - Nice chorus and guitar interludes. Chorus dominates here!



I'm Gonna Come Back (9/10) - The song of a lover who is leaving for war, reassuring that he will return from the war and bring things back to normal



Romantic Balcony (9/10) - A romantic ballad type song with the lover's thoughts flashing back and forth between war scenes and their tranquil balcony. Nice guitar piece and chorus singing



Sleeping Child (Special Remix) (10/10) - A lullaby-type song, with more than just singing to the child. Smooth, nice chorus and guitar/Piano music combination.



If you enjoy melodious songs with beautiful lyrics and catchy tunes, then this collection could be for you. Give it a try !!!"

"if one hasn't tried this album as yet, he/she should try listening to this wonderful genre of music a.s.a.p. ! The album is too good...not like other pop groups, ... MLTR music has a class of their own. Its useless trying to speak on this talented group's creditibility...better check it out yourself, and believe me, the album is worth a buy, and won't dissappoint you with ur hard earned money."

Exhilarating

"This is an awesome album, featuring nothing but catchy songs! My personal favorite: "Wild Women"....with all the other tunes not far behind. In fact, 10 stars would be a much more adequate rating."
